Tutor Information

About

I have been teaching computer science and math on many levels for more years than I can count now (and with a background in math, you'd assume I can count reasonably high :). This includes tutoring, small groups, formal classroom settings, etc. I hold PhD in computer science from CUNY's Graduate Center and master's in computer and information science from the University of Pennsylvania. My rates vary by time of day, my "peak hours" are more expensive, but if you can meet during my preferred times it will be less expensive. I am very honest, you can ask about any subject and I will tell you exactly how qualified I consider myself to tutor it.
