Tutor Information

About

I've had the privilege of tutoring more than 300 students, accumulating over 6,000 hours of tutoring experience. Many of my students have expressed their relief at how swiftly I grasp their assignments and provide clear, concise solutions. They often remark that my explanations bring clarity to their tasks almost immediately. Through our collaborative efforts, students not only witness improvements in their coding assignment grades but also see tangible enhancements in their overall comprehension, which is mirrored in their test scores. I have helped students with implementing various data structures and complex coding assignments that make use of data structures. In the c programming language I have helped students create operating system components including shells, memory managers, file systems and task schedulers. I have helped students with codes that make use of threads, forks, sockets, and file systems. In assembler i have defused more binary bombs than probably anyone else. I bring over three decades of professional coding experience to the table. My expertise includes developing software for satellite ground stations, employing a diverse range of programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and assembler. Within the LINUX environment, I've honed my skills using tools like bash, vi, and Eclipse. Furthermore, I am a proficient user of UML, which played a crucial role in our software design processes. Building upon my exceptional math abilities, which were demonstrated through achievements such as earning a flawless 800 on the Math SAT, receiving the Senior Math Award during high school, and securing the highest score on my college calculus finals, I became a proficient computer programmer.
