"Hi, I'm Alex! I am a software engineer / web developer with a BS in Computer Science. I love my job and I am excited to show you the wonders of computer programming! I love teaching the fundamentals, so if you are struggling with classes, objects, arrays, lists, loops, etc., then I would be happy to help break down these topics. Also, if you are ready to tackle more challenging topics, like principles of Object Oriented Programming, and writing efficient algorithms, I've got you covered!

My approach to tutoring computer science is to have you write code as much as possible. It is ok if you make mistakes because this is how we learn! I encourage you to run your code and see what you get. Even if you don't get what you expect, we can discuss it to help you understand the programming concepts. That's how I learn every day as a professional!

My teaching experience has taken an interesting course. First, I trained new-hire EMTs when I was an EMT. Then, I moved to Japan and taught English at a high school. From there, I taught at a private English studio in Japan. I enjoyed all those experiences, but I am most passionate about computer science / web development.

I know every student has unique learning goals, so prior to the first lesson, I like to have a free consultation meeting to understand what you hope to get out of our tutoring sessions. This also helps me to prepare so we can hit the ground running on day 1.

If you would like to learn more, or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out!" less...
