About Sam


Bio

I have a bachelors of science in Computer Science and I didn't realize how much I loved teaching people code and computer science until I started tutoring in the last year of my degree. I love seeing people light up when they finally get a piece of code working or they finally understand an abstract concept. I have found that the most effective method for teaching a hard concept is to first ask the student questions to identify their knowledge gap is. Once I've figured that out, I can start...

I have a bachelors of science in Computer Science and I didn't realize how much I loved teaching people code and computer science until I started tutoring in the last year of my degree. I love seeing people light up when they finally get a piece of code working or they finally understand an abstract concept. I have found that the most effective method for teaching a hard concept is to first ask the student questions to identify their knowledge gap is. Once I've figured that out, I can start filling in those gaps by guiding the student to ask me the right questions. Only then can they truly understand the answer!

Many students came to me for tutoring expecting answers. However, through my experience of tutoring my peers and fellow undergraduates, I've come to the conclusion that everyone can overcome their learning obstacles with a bit of patience and lots of questions, not answers! Well at least not right away. I hope I can help my future students learn any concept that may confuse them and watch as their grades reflect their new knowledge!

I am also a great source to learn about the React.js ecosystem. I keep up to date with the latest frameworks and libraries like Next.js, Tailwind, Zustand, Jotai, react-query, and much more. Whether you're a student that just wants to build a small website or an aspiring web developer looking to learn the most up to date skills, I will be your greatest guide!

CSS

I've built many web applications from the ground up using many different CSS frameworks like Vanilla-Extract, Tailwind, and Style Components and have used preprocessors like SASS. I know CSS in and out and I also know how to write clean and maintainable CSS. My latest work is a redesign of a podcaster's website.

Super friendly and knowledgeable tutor

Sam has helped me so much with learning HTML, CSS, and now I'm beginning to learn Javascript with him! He's very calm, patient, and knowledgeable with computer science. A super friendly tutor to work with, and he's very flexible with his time and appointments.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Sam is very knowledgeable in Python and Java Script. He has been super helpful in helping me break down concepts and get caught up with the topics that I was having a hard time understanding. He is patient and makes learning coding more enjoyable!
