Bio

I seek to find the best way to engage a student and pique his or her interest in a subject whether it be from thought-provoking examples or exciting future uses for particular knowledge.

From my experience this is immensely helpful for developing and actually retaining mastery of a topic. Every student learns best in a different way and it is my goal to find what works best for helping a particular student and tailor my teaching method around that.

I seek to find the best way to engage a student and pique his or her interest in a subject whether it be from thought-provoking examples or exciting future uses for particular knowledge.

From my experience this is immensely helpful for developing and actually retaining mastery of a topic. Every student learns best in a different way and it is my goal to find what works best for helping a particular student and tailor my teaching method around that.

My first teaching experience was instructing undergraduates in several different computer science classes while pursuing my master's at UCR. I taught within both lab and classroom settings on a group basis.

Additionally, I was often explaining concepts or walking through difficult problems with students on a one-on-one setting both online and in person when they needed additional help.

This in and of itself was very rewarding, but it also allowed me to continue improving my understanding of the subject area as I searched for new ways to challenge them and analyzed different ways they approached those challenges. Thus, I am looking forward to continuing to teach students whenever I have the time.

I have been working with computers my entire life. Whether it's writing a simple script to help automate a tedious task, or developing my own game. I have experience coding in C#, C++, Python, Java, Matlab, and some basic html/css.

If you'd like to learn more about how I might help you improve your studies or understanding of math or computer science feel free to reach out. Or if you just have a problem or concept you're struggling with there's a good chance I can come up with a quick way to help you work through a way of intuitively understanding it.

Fantastic!! A++

I spent two semesters in college trying to learn python programming and am on my final project for my last semester. I have to say that it wasn't until my first session with John that everything started to click for me. He showed me a few simple concepts that I had been missing from the beginning and I ended up learning more about python language in that two-hour session than I had in the entirety of two semesters on python! John was excellent and I highly recommend him!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Tutor!

John is an absolutely amazing tutor — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. From the very start, he immediately understood my project and knew exactly where to begin, which made the process smooth and productive. He explains concepts clearly and offers helpful insights that really deepen your understanding. What stood out most is how supportive he is even after the session — he took the time to answer my follow-up questions on chat and made sure I felt confident moving forward. John is incredibly smart and professional, but also approachable and kind, which makes learning with him a great experience. He was such a huge help, and I’ll definitely be booking more sessions with him in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch tutor.

Breaks down information clearly

John taught strategies on coding to break down the "ask" into step by step elements to then apply the right code to accomplish the goal. Easy to understand and very patient and encouraging.

Great job with Java

John was very patient and great at explaining things. He helped my son with Java coding for a robotics project.

Knowledgeable and efficient

Our student looked dejected when we told him we booked a tutoring session for him, he requested for us to cancel it; he felt tutors are a waste of time and money and often do not help him. He agreed to do one session with John; it was the best money ever spent. Our student felt he learned a lot in the hour and agreed to book another meeting. What we value the most is that he got work done in a timely manner. Some tutors waste time as a tactic to get you to book more sessions; John was prompt, approachable, efficient, and knowledgeable. We will definitely book John again! We highly recommend this tutor.

Great tutor!

My high school senior was struggling with Java coding. We hired John and it was the best money ever spent. My son said he felt like John just filled his head with knowledge. I highly recommend this tutor.

Fantastic Life Saver!

We will definitely book John again! He was prompt, approachable, honest and incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. My son had a wonderful time learning and getting work done in a timely manner, especially since our last tutor took five hours for one assignment... and didn't even complete that! Well done!
