"I have over 8 years of full-time software development experience, plus some experience as a teaching assistant. Contact me for ONLY the following:

- C++ and C (classes, arrays, pointers, memory management, file I/O, smart pointers, move semantics, avoiding common mistakes, templates, virtual functions and polymorphism, operator overloading, compiler and linker errors)

- Computer operating systems fundamentals (threads, page tables, locks, concurrency, condition variables, Linux internals, virtual memory, process scheduling)

- Intro-level Java

- Intel x86 assembly language

- Python and Django

Cost:

* Regular homework assignment: about 1 to 3 hours.

* Small project (1-2 weeks): about 3 to 10 hours.

To make the most of the money, book multiple 1-hour lessons with me, with enough time between lessons to work on your assignment by yourself. Use all other available resources too:

* The textbook. Many students don't even buy it!

* Study groups.

* Tutoring centers.

* Professor *and* TA office hours.

* 'Smart' classmates who will tutor you for a lot less money than I will.

* Any extensions or "late days" your course offers (read the syllabus!).

Lesson Structure:

I do live pair programming with students on the Repl.it Web site in "multiplayer" mode. I'll write some code as an example, then ask you to change it. Then, you can apply the skill to your homework problems to see if you really learned the skill instead of just getting an answer.

No Cramming:

I don't help students with assignments that are due on the same day as the lesson, *unless* the assignment is *very* simple. I am *not* a substitute for good study habits, your teacher, your textbook, or your class. I help you use those resources more effectively instead of just imitating them." less...
