About Aland


Bio

I'm Aland and I graduated from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science and Engineering. I've had many amazing teachers through high school and college and those teachers are who made me love the subjects they were teaching. I recall one computer science professor who developed engaging lesson plans and taught the material that we needed to know. I attended many of his office hours and he always went the extra mile to help me understand...

I'm Aland and I graduated from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science and Engineering. I've had many amazing teachers through high school and college and those teachers are who made me love the subjects they were teaching. I recall one computer science professor who developed engaging lesson plans and taught the material that we needed to know. I attended many of his office hours and he always went the extra mile to help me understand the core material of the class. I am extremely grateful to educators like him and I hope to pass the torch and instill my passion for my favorite subjects into the next generation of software developers and scientists!

I have eight years of professional UI web developer experience with a passion for UX, React, and JavaScript. I use HTML, CSS, webpack, npm, and the React library on a daily basis. I have developed React web applications that are viewed by millions of people. I have also tutored for AP Computer Science A, helping students achieve scores of 4 and higher and have some knowledge of AP Computer Science Principles. I am also a technical recruiter and have reviewed hundreds of resumes as well as interviewed many candidates from entry-level to experienced hire. I am open to offering mock interviews, both technical and behavioral. I am also a native English speaker. I started tutoring in college, helping my friends with their homework in data structure & algorithms, website design, and physics. Outside of work, I have also contributed to open source projects, and I also help teach classes at Code Nation, a non-profit organization that aims to help underserved high school students succeed in software development.

I am easy to reach out and will provide quick responses. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!

Patient and Eager to help

Aland has taught me Java, and I went from completely understanding nothing to feeling comfortable with Java. He is eager to help, and I would recommend him to anyone. I left feeling very impressed by his professionalism and tutoring style.

Excellent Teacher

Highly recommend!! My first time back in school after years of not being in school. My first teacher here at Wyzant. Aland is very patient, detailed, structured, visual and hands on. It took only two hours for me to finally comprehend and grasp Java. Before starting he made sure to figure out my learning style and where I was mentally. Once he put things together(which was very quick);Aland executed flawlessly. Asked me questions to make sure I’m grasping the what he is teaching. Aland allowed me to think out loud and admire the work that was put together. Thank you Aland. Outside of my Aland : where in class or the school hired mentorship. They’ll toss a bunch of resources, check the mistakes and look at you like you’re stupid. Proceed to do the work for you. Done. I am truly grateful to have found a great teacher and a great app Wyzant. I will be scheduling with Aland consistently until I finish my school. Thank you Aland 😁

Valuable guidance and effective mentor

During our session, we delved into the concept of 2D arrays and explored the syntax used to manipulate them. The instructor's explanation was exceptional, providing the clarity I needed to finally understand how they work

Really helpful!

Had a lesson with Alan and he guided me through my project. Rather than just giving me the answers, he let me figure out solutions by breaking down things into small pieces. He also has lots of patience and a calm demeanor. Great tutor!!

Steven, 8 lessons with Aland

Patient and knowledgeable tutor.

Aland has been my tutor for a few months now and he is always so helpful and patient. He has a really strategic way of guiding me to the answer, rather than doing the work for me. He also explains everything thoroughly as we go, which I really appreciate. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of Aland. Definitely recommend him!

Helpful Resume Reviewer

Aland was a great help to me in reviewing my computer science resume. He was able to use his knowledge of the industry and recruitment process to point out areas in my resume where I could improve. He was also patient and a good listener.

Ethan, 1 lesson with Aland

great tutor, super knowledgable in javascript, extremely patient and understanding.

I've had probably 10+ lessons with him so far and will definitely be booking him whenever I need help. I'm going through a bootcamp and find it hard to bring myself to ask questions in front of a bunch of people so I'm really thankful for Aland. He's helped me solidify my understand of basic javascript to more mid and advanced things. We've covered closures, classes, react, express, node, and more. He's very flexible and observes how you work so you'll pair with him smoothly. Highly recommend!!
