Does your kid love Roblox and want to learn how to program?

I can teach them!

I have worked in the computer industry for over 20 years, including at Google, YouTube, Adobe, and several Silicon Valley startups. I am a passionate and experienced tutor who has been teaching for over 10 years. I have a degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from Brown University.

The programming skills your kid will learn in Roblox are transferable to other programming languages (such as Python or Javascript) they might want to learn. I can also teach these other languages. Roblox is also a fun way of moving beyond Scratch into a real programming language where you need to type your program and maintain multiple files.

Every student learns differently and I tailor my teaching style to each student's individual needs. I am patient and encouraging, and I always strive to help my students succeed. I am also a great listener, and I am always willing to answer questions and provide support.

I also worked in the Peace Corps in The Gambia as a volunteer high school computer teacher. In this role, I taught students how to program and also helped them develop their problem-solving and critical thinking skills. I am confident that my experience in the Peace Corps has made me a better tutor.

I specialize in helping students new to programming but I am happy to have intermediate or advanced students too. I have a proven track record of success in helping students of all ages and abilities learn these subjects. I am confident that I can help your child achieve success in programming. (I also teach teens and adults)

In addition to teaching Roblox, I can teach Python, Javascript, C/C++, and Arduino programming.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Dexter is the best!

My daughter was taking AP Computer Science Principle in her school, and was in dire situation where she needs some serious guidance in Javascript coding with her end of the year Project. Dexter R came to the rescue. The thing I like about Dexter is that, he is not only very knowledgeable about the subject, but most of all, he is responsible, responsive & will work until we get results. How is he responsible? He asked about about our needs before the first tutoring session, and was prepared to teach the very first minute. We spent 5-6 hrs tutoring on our subject, and it is every minute worth it. On the first day, we had some hardware issue and had to cut the session shorter, and he changed our payment to just reflect on the hours spent. Lastly, even after tutoring sessions ended, he found a bug in the programming and showed her a solution for it. How is he responsive? He is quick to answer any queries and scheduling needs. He is also a dad, and know how to work well with kids/teenagers over a tough subject. I would highly recommend Dexter if your child needs AP Computer Science Principle help, and engaged him earlier if there are signs of struggle to keep up with the class material. We are immensely grateful for his help over this project.

Knowledgeable and Professional

Dexter was able to help my son with the computer science courses he was taking in college. He would always be able to teach the curriculum concepts informatively and in a way that left a lasting impression. He is kind, professional, and diligent regarding communication, scheduling, organization, and the overall completion of tasks.
