Experienced Software Engineer Who Teaches Programming

Nathan P.

Knowledgeable and patient.

Before I had my session with Nathan I didn’t even know if I would be able to answer one question on my practice exam. In the span of two hours he made me understand the reasoning behind 6 papers each having 10 questions. Best tutor ever.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor!

What did I like about his teaching? -I enjoyed how he asked me questions for my understanding, instead of teaching the whole time and assuming that I understood everything. -He had no problem with explaining any topic that I was unfamiliar with, as he taught me about Stacks and Queues. -He sent me resources and practice questions after the lesson, which let me know that he truly wants to invest into my learning. -He asked me, "How do you like my teaching?" after the first hour, and was willing to shift gears regarding the structure of the lesson, if requested. What did he help me accomplish? He helped me to understand the fundamentals of Stacks and how Graph problems work. Now, I am aware of what type of Stack or Graph problems might be asked during technical interviews with popular companies, and how to approach them. The information learned was was invaluable to me! I wish that I had Nathan tutor me a month ago, because it was honestly a very effective lesson, and I plan to have him tutor me frequently.

Processing

Nathan did an outstanding job. I was having technical difficulty on my end and he was extremely patient and made every attempt to do whatever he could to help me. He is very knowledgeable and obviously very talented. Now that I’m back up and running, I hope he will continue to help me.

Super knowledgeable and easy to work with.

I came to Nathan with a python program that I had no idea how to approach. By the end of a short 1hr session he had shown me the most efficient way to write the code while also explaining the methodology. I will definitely be using him again in the future!

Great Python tutor with great ideas for how to do better at coding interviews!

Nathan not only helped me understand more efficient ways to write code to solve questions, he also made sure I understood the concepts of time and space efficiency and how they relate to writing good programs. He gave me some great tips about how to approach coding interviews, and provided links to YouTube videos that reinforce the topics we talked about and prepare me for further lessons with him.

Excellent Tutor

Nathan is an outstanding tutor with exceptional programming skills. More than any other tutor or teacher I've met, Nathan is able to quickly diagnose and fix issues within code. He also has a talent for immediately clicking with new students such as myself.

Best tutor I've had so far on Wyzant

I've had a meeting with Nathan for my Python and I felt like the way he codes is so much more efficient than others I tried on Wyzant. Also, he is very good at explaining stuff and he will repeat them until students fully understand the material without being annoyed. I would definitely recommend him as a tutor if you are serious about going into computer science field and he will be my tutor for life as long as I am in this field.
