"I am a software engineer with a strong background in education who LOVES helping people master difficult concepts. Before I got into tech, I worked as an educator for many years, both for an online university as well as teaching ESL in Turkey.

I got into coding with JavaScript and fell in love. My favorite thing is building full stack applications using React and Node.js. As a software engineer I can code all day when I'm in the zone, but I also enjoy supporting less experienced engineers. I find it rewarding to see clients develop new skills that will help them achieve their goals.

Since I learned to code as an adult, I understand completely how challenging it is in the beginning. I take a positive, encouraging approach with clients. You will never feel judged for not knowing something, and I don't believe in stupid questions.

Before our session, I will ask for clarity on your goals for tutoring and will require you to send some material - a link to your project, a zip file, screenshots, or even just a clear description of what you want to achieve. This will let me assess whether I can help you, as well as ensure that I am prepared for our session so that we maximize our time.

My experience includes:

JavaScript

React

Redux

CSS

Bootstrap

HTML

Node.js

MongoDB

MySQL

PostgreSQL

Heroku (for node.js and/or react apps)

Netlify

Random fact about me: I have three fur babies - a golden retriever named Luna, a pittie named Skye, and a cat named George. I also hope to have backyard chickens soon!

If you're looking for a judgment-free zone to learn or improve a new skill, please reach out to me! It would be my absolute pleasure to assist you on your coding journey. If you need help with something not listed on my profile, please reach out to me to ask. I have a versatile background and truly love tutoring whenever I get the chance!" less...
