About Linda


Bio

Hello, my name is Linda, and I would love to help you or your student increase knowledge and confidence in your AP Computer Science class, both AP CS A or AP CS Principles! I taught AP Computer Science Principles for two years with most of my students getting 4 or 5 on the exam. Whether the teacher is using Python, JavaScript, Scratch, Java, etc. I can help you!

Hello, my name is Linda, and I would love to help you or your student increase knowledge and confidence in your AP Computer Science class, both AP CS A or AP CS Principles! I taught AP Computer Science Principles for two years with most of my students getting 4 or 5 on the exam. Whether the teacher is using Python, JavaScript, Scratch, Java, etc. I can help you!

I believe the best way to improve any skill (like computer science) is through PRACTICE! In my lessons, I will assess where you need the most support, and guide you through practice problems which develop that skill. I prefer not to lecture, except to provide missing background information, and instead act as a resource to help you solve problems on your own.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Physics & Astronomy, and a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. I began tutoring Physics in college, where I was a Supplemental Instructor for introductory Physics classes, teaching 5-50 students at a time and helping with their homework. I taught science informally for six years in science museums, helping people of all ages understand complex subjects.

Once becoming a traditional classroom teacher, I taught middle school Physics and AP Computer Science Principles for three years, with my students achieving above-average standardized test scores. I was also a frequently-requested instructor at Mathnasium, where I tutored students on-on-one in all math levels, from Kindergarten through Precalculus.

Please contact me to schedule a lesson for yourself or your student! I have a flexible schedule and a quick response time. I am happy to answer any questions you have.

Computer Science

I taught AP Computer Science Principles for two years, and my students received above average scores on the AP exam, mostly 4s and 5s. I have also taught many elementary and middle school students programming through block-based programming, like Scratch. I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Physics, which required competency in programming, algorithms, and simulations.

Friendly, engaging, concise and great at transferring knowledge.

Linda has been a great tutor for my daughter in AP Computer Science. She is thorough, easy to understand, and moves at the right pace. Explains everything and makes sure you understand it all. And most of all, she has increased my daughters interest in this subject! We are so happy we found her and look forward to our continued collaboration.

Pleasant and Knowledgeable Tutor for AP CSP

Ms. Linda is a wonderful tutor for my son taking AP Computer Science Principles. She is highly knowledgeable in CS but, most importantly, pleasant, warm, energetic, and patient. Her teaching style makes complex concepts easy to understand; she also provided great feedback and encouragement on his coding project. Her genuine enthusiasm for the subject is evident, boosting his skills and interest in computer science. We truly appreciate her professionalism.

Fantastic AP Comp Principles Tutor

Linda is a fantastic tutor. She helped my daughter get ready for a quiz that the teacher didn’t really prepare the class for. She know gels much more confident in the class. We’ll definitely keep using Linda!

Knowledgeable and Kind

Very happy with Linda. She has a great knowledge and a sweet and patient demeanor. My daughter really likes her and looks foreword to more sessions with her. She has been struggling with her computer computer science principles class, and I am sure with the help of Linda. She will be able to do really well on her final tests.

Friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and clear!

We are so happy to have found Linda to help our son with AP Computer Science A. My son, who is a senior in high school, has had some difficulties with the subject. After meeting my son, Linda was able to accurately pinpoint the challenges he faces and provide great resources and practices to help him strengthen the weak areas. Linda was very patient, taught at the right pace, explained things clearly, and made sure my son really understood before moving forward. She is also very accommodating when we had to change a lesson schedule due to an unexpected event. We plan to have Linda tutor my son for the entire school year. We highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a computer science tutor.
