About Christopher


Bio

I believe programing is best learned by implementing exercises on your own, with a tutor available to help get past hurdles and properly scope a project. In our first meeting I will find out your learning goals and current level of expertise, then collaboratively develop a learning plan to get you where you want to be. I can help students of any level advance further by working patiently or quickly to match your ability. We can work through a textbook online or offline or using customized...

I believe programing is best learned by implementing exercises on your own, with a tutor available to help get past hurdles and properly scope a project. In our first meeting I will find out your learning goals and current level of expertise, then collaboratively develop a learning plan to get you where you want to be. I can help students of any level advance further by working patiently or quickly to match your ability. We can work through a textbook online or offline or using customized projects. I am also happy to answer questions and simply respond to your needs if that is best.

I have a Ph.D. in computer science and also studied mathematics and philosophy at the undergraduate level. I lectured at three separate colleges for more than three years, mostly teaching introductory Java programming. I have also taught data structures and classical artificial intelligence. My research was in automated tutoring in fields including medical training, chemistry and computer programming and I have worked in finance, aerospace and robots extensively using Java, C/C++, Python SQL and other languages. With decades of experience I can explain industrial work in addition to academic knowledge.

My wife is disabled so I am tutoring instead of working a traditional job. I have adult children with special needs so I am familiar with ADHD and ASD.
