Hi! I'm Julia, a former Senior Software Engineer at Adobe with a deep passion for education and empowering students to not just "get through" their coursework, but to actually enjoy learning. I hold a degree in Computer Science and Modern Culture and Media from Brown University, and before my six-year career in tech, I tutored high school and college students in math, computer science, and standardized test prep at AJ Tutoring and at the Summer Math and Science Honors Academy (SMASH) at Stanford. I've also supported language learners in both English and Spanish. I'm bilingual and love working with students from diverse backgrounds.

Across all of my teaching experiences, I've found that confidence and clarity go hand-in-hand. My approach is warm, patient, and highly personalized. I love creating "aha!" moments by breaking down complex topics in a way that clicks for each individual learner. Whether you're preparing for the SAT, tackling AP Computer Science, reviewing algebra fundamentals, or learning a new language, I'll work with you to build both mastery and momentum. Let's make your learning not just effective, but enjoyable and empowering too!

Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I bring over six years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer at Adobe, where I designed and built real-world software using languages like Swift and C++, along with cloud services such as AWS. In addition to my industry background, I’ve taught computer science in both classroom and one-on-one settings — including roles at AJ Tutoring, Stanford’s SMASH Academy, and as a teaching assistant at Brown University. I’ve helped students master foundational programming concepts like variables, loops, and functions, as well as more advanced topics such as object-oriented design, algorithms, and debugging. I love guiding students from the basics all the way to building their own projects, with a focus on developing both confidence and practical coding skills.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Adobe for six years, developing real-world software using Swift and C++ for the front end, and AWS for cloud-based backends. I also taught computer science at AJ Tutoring, the Summer Math and Science Honors (SMASH) Academy at Stanford, and served as a teaching assistant at Brown University. At Brown, I TA'd courses in object-oriented programming with Java as well as an introductory class covering Python, Excel, and PowerPoint. I specialize in helping students break down complex topics like algorithms and object-oriented programming into clear, approachable steps. Whether you're preparing for AP Computer Science, learning to code for the first time, or refining your tech skills, I’m here to help you build both confidence and mastery.
Macintosh

Macintosh

I have interned as a software engineer at three different companies during my summers between college classes. I have also been a computer science teaching assistant for intro courses at Brown University. Throughout this time, my primary computer of use has been a mac. While growing up, I was also the designated "computer fixer" of our extended family and friends.
Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint

I served as a teaching assistant at Brown University for an introductory course that covered Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Python. As a former Senior Software Engineer at Adobe, I also created polished, professional presentations for team leads, executives, and clients. I can help you design visually compelling slides, tell a clear story, and master features like animations, charts, and formatting. Whether you're preparing a school project, business presentation, or portfolio, I’ll help you communicate your ideas with clarity and impact.
Python

Python

I have over six years of experience as a professional software engineer, and I’ve taught Python in both academic and tutoring settings. At Brown University, I was a teaching assistant for an introductory computer science course that covered Python fundamentals, including data types, control flow, functions, and object-oriented programming. I also taught Python at SMASH Academy at Stanford, where I helped high school students write Python code to solve real-world problems. I enjoy helping students grasp the logic behind programming by breaking down complex topics into simple, intuitive steps. Whether you're new to Python or looking to deepen your understanding, I can support your learning journey with clear explanations and practical guidance.
Spanish

Spanish

I’m a native Spanish speaker who grew up speaking the language at home and in my community. I also took AP Spanish in high school and scored highly on the exam, which gave me a strong foundation in grammar, reading comprehension, and formal writing. I enjoy helping students of all ages gain confidence in speaking, understanding, and enjoying Spanish. Whether your goal is to improve class performance or build real-world conversation skills, I tailor each session to meet your needs and learning style.
