React, React Native, Math and Web Development Tutor Available!

David L.

I’m a software engineer and designer with a strong foundation in computer science, modern web development, and creative technology. I studied Computer Science at Northwestern University, where I focused on building interactive systems and learning the fundamentals of programming, data structures, and software design. Since then, I’ve worked professionally as both a developer and a creative technologist, building production-grade websites, mobile apps, and interactive projects for clients, nonprofits, and startups.

My tutoring experience has been a mix of one-on-one guidance and small-group support. Over the past several years, I’ve helped students ranging from high school beginners learning their first lines of code to college students and adult learners navigating more advanced topics like APIs, JavaScript frameworks, and full-stack development. My approach is centered around breaking down technical concepts into clear, approachable steps while giving students the confidence to work through problems on their own. I combine practical examples with real project context so students understand not just how something works, but why it matters.

I’ve seen the most success when tutoring students who are hands-on learners or who feel overwhelmed by traditional CS instruction. My teaching style is patient, adaptable, and focused on developing intuition rather than memorization. Whether a student is preparing for a class, reinforcing skills, or building their first project, I try to create an environment where they feel supported, curious, and capable of taking the next step in their learning.
