About Sarah

Bio

I have over 8 years experience teaching and tutoring in coding/software development. I’d love to help you build skills (and confidence) in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, databases, Node/Express, Python/Django/Flask, Java/Spring Boot, and more! 


I’ve spent my career in software development, both front-end and back-end. In 2017, I was hired to teach a full-stack coding bootcamp. By the end of my first week teaching, I knew with certainty that teaching coding was my life’s passion!

I’ve spent my career in software development, both front-end and back-end. In 2017, I was hired to teach a full-stack coding bootcamp. By the end of my first week teaching, I knew with certainty that teaching coding was my life’s passion!

I taught coding bootcamps and software development apprenticeships for almost seven years full-time but recently transitioned back into a software engineering day job. My former students tell me I am uniquely skilled at breaking complex concepts down into beginner-friendly bites, and helping them improve their practical skills, conceptual knowledge, and confidence.

I have significant experience teaching software/web development in both a classroom (online and in-person) and a 1:1 setting. My knowledge base includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, OOP concepts, React, React Native, Redux, MobX, Vue w/Vuex or Pinia, Node w/Express or Hapi or Fastify, MySQL, MongoDB, ORMs, Firebase, Git, Agile Methodologies, interview prep, Java w/Spring Boot, and Python w/Django or Flask.

While most of my students have been adult age, I am extremely comfortable teaching junior high and high school students, as well. My teaching style will be especially helpful for individuals working (or struggling) through JavaScript-based coding bootcamps. My sense of humor, experience with adult learning strategies, and experience training new dev talent can be great assets on yours or your child's coding journey.

Learning to code can feel incredibly challenging and overwhelming. Let me help you build your skills, knowledge, and confidence, and teach you to unleash the magic of coding!

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor

It's always a good lesson with Sarah. We went over destructuring and she shared many good tips and some of her own examples to help me understand the topic. She often gives you a different perspective which can help you fully grasp the concept. She also encourages you to follow-up on your own learning after class.

Great Teacher

Currently learning Javascript and it sucks. Sarah helps me understand how to write my logic using what I've learned. She is very patient, knows her stuff, and breaks down the code through the entire process.

Knowledgable and Kind

Sarah will go above and beyond to try to solve a bug in your code. I love that she will send articles and try to get you up to speed as much as you can with solving your issues.
