Hello!
I love researching and solving problems in a variety of fields. Tutoring allows me to fulfill this passion! I have 4 years experience tutoring students of all ages, from 7th grade to adult. I have a diverse background, with a PhD in Computer Science and over 25 years experience as a software developer. My coding languages in order of use C++, Java, Python, C and Assembler. Platforms: MATLAB, Libraries: CGAL. In addition, I have a BA in Psychology from UCLA, thus a soft/social sciences side. My software work and academic studies have kept me up to date on all subjects I've tutored previously. I enjoy helping others feel confident that they can tackle any problem on their own.
I tutored at a junior college for 2 years while getting my first Masters (Public Administration). The subjects I tutored included pre-algebra, algebra1, algebra2, introduction to statistics and writing. I was a visiting lecturer for 1 year within the Computer Science(CS)Department at Boston College(BC). I developed a 3 week crash course in Java which I taught and tutored followed by 4 weeks of Data Structures. I also taught and tutored simulation, logic and modeling in Excel to Boston College management students. I later tutored algebra and an 8 week programming basics course in Java to a pre-7th grader. I've taught a few students on Wyzant how to debug their code. Knowing how to use the debugger as a computer programmer / coder is crucial.
My approach begins with going over the student's problem, covering relevant concepts and/or algorithms. I break larger problems into smaller, simpler pieces. When appropriate: I encourage the student to define/record known values, unknown variables and write out algorithms. I'll draw to visualize / get better intuition of the problem. I encourage the student to sanity check the results of solutions. My goal is for students to feel confident solving any problem on their own.

I ask that students send me relevant materials 24 hours in advance, ensuring an effective session.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

ACT Math includes elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, coordinate geometry, plane geometry, and trigonometry, all subjects I have tutored and worked with in the past. I enjoy these areas of math and it's my goal to give students the tools and confidence to solve these problems on their own. The other goal is to enable the student to see the fun in problem solving.
AFOQT

AFOQT

With a combined 167+ successful Wyzant hours tutoring math, logic, arithmetic reasoning, word knowledge and reading comprehension for various placement tests including the AFOQT, ASVAB, ACT,PSAT and SAT and I am confident I can help you succeed in the core sections needed to pass the AFOQT. I use AFOQT specific questions and practice tests to focus on what you need to know. I will help you quickly find your weaknesses in my initial assessment and we can simultaneously work on building up your needed skills. I use tried and true methods I've used with my many repeat test prep students. I have studied for and passed the SAT, GRE, and LSAT, allowing me to get into highly regarded universities to obtain my degrees. I have 4+ years experience tutoring students of all ages from 7th grade to adult, to effectively and efficiently learn these skills and to successfully apply them. Additionally, I taught Data Structures and Modeling and Simulation skills at Boston College for a year and have worked as a professional software developer for 25+ years, implementing and practicing the relevant skills for your AFOQT needs. I have first hand experience taking the ASVAB (which has many similar parts to the AFOQT) after getting my BA in Psychology and MS in Public Administration, and before I got my BS, MS and PhD in Computer Science. I aced the ASVAB AFQT sections (with a 99% ), allowing me to enter the US Air Force with a guaranteed job as a computer programmer, and recreate myself as a software developer. From that experience and others throughout my life, I know that having basic math skills including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, along with solid reasoning, reading, grammar and comprehension skills is key. I hope you'll consider working with me!
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Hello! Algebra 1 has always been one of my favorite subjects to teach. I love problem solving which is at the heart of algebra. I enjoy showing students how to break down a complex problem into smaller parts, so as to demystify the subject and to more easily understand and solve the problem. I think many students need help in the area of algebra but don’t even realize it. Algebra is embedded in so many other areas of study. It's an important subject to master as it’s a building block much like arithmetic. I try to help students overcome their fear of math and have some fun along the way. I first tutored Algebra 1 for 2 years at San Antonio Junior College and it was one of my favorite jobs. I’ve been using algebra over many years in my various software development positions. Now that I'm tutoring college statistics over this summer, I see that yet again algebra skills are needed! This was also true in the college level Simulation and Modeling course (using Excel) for management college students I taught and tutored in 2013-2014 at Boston College. In the summer of 2015 I tutored algebra to a soon to be 7th grader (who I also tutored basic programming concepts and skills). I had to explain to him that while he didn’t think algebra was as fun as writing software, he needed to know algebra to write the interesting algorithms within the software code. I would love to help you build the confidence to solve any problem on your own by teaching the basics of Algebra 1 and equipping you with the right problem solving skills.
ASVAB

ASVAB

After getting my BA in Psychology and MS in Public Administration, and before I got my BS, MS and PhD in Computer Science, I aced the ASVAB (AFQT score of 99), allowing me to enter the USAF with a guaranteed job as a computer programmer, and recreate myself as a software developer. From that experience I know that having basic math skills including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, along with solid reasoning, reading, grammar and comprehension skills is key. With numerous recent hours tutoring ASVAB on Wyzant I have helped students with all types of AFQT problems they need to know for the test. However the bulk of my lessons focus on the math knowledge and arithmetic reasoning sections, per student request. From my very first lessons with my ASVAB students, I and my students have been very pleased with the lightbulb moments they've experienced! In just 1 hour I've helped them uncover their individual weaknesses. I've armed them with the information and tools they need to move forward with their studying and practice, and know I'm helping them begin to feel more confident in solving these problems on their own. In 1 hour, I've been able to assess and make an initial plan with the students on how to best move forward, and also to judge a more accurate test time frame than what they initially had. It's truly fulfilling to be a part of this learning process! I have 4 years experience tutoring students of all ages from 7th grade to adult, to effectively and efficiently learn these skills and to successfully apply them. I also help students with effective ways to prepare for and take a variety of tests. In addition I taught at Boston College for a year and have worked as a professional software developer for 25+ years, implementing and practicing the relevant skills for your ASVAB needs. I hope you'll consider working with me!
C

C

I love problem solving. I love working through algorithms in code to understand the intent and to find/fix any bugs when necessary. I love researching and implementing new algorithms as well. I hope I can impart my passion for software development to you, whilst helping you with your programming problems in C! Please note and check my availability which is much more than what you may see on my instant book slots. While C is not spoken about as much these days it is a core language that is useful to know. Before C++ was C. C ++ was built using C. C is close to the machine and portable. Many embedded systems still use C. I worked for a printer company awhile back and a lot of their code was written in C as the code was put inside of many printers that you use today. I look for jobs that require C++ and C as that is where the interesting algorithmic work lies is my opinion. I’ve worked as a software developer for over 25 years in addition to obtaining my PhD in Computer Science. During my PhD I studied Computational Geometry, Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence among other topics. I have study and work experience implementing data structures, algorithms and object oriented (OO) programming. Languages I’ve used include C++, C, Java and Python. In addition, I taught Data Structures in Java at Boston College (BC) as a visiting lecturer and tutored a crash course in OO the following summer. I also taught simulation and modeling in Excel at BC. My work experience includes computational geometry for 3D metal printing, machine learning classification research for a Brain Computer Interface and silicone chip automated network routing in the Electronics Design Automation space.
C++

C++

C++ is (still) my favorite programming language. I’ve always sought out jobs that use C++ as (in my opinion) the most interesting work and applications are built in C++. I would love to help you better understand C++ and all the underlying classic computer science concepts that it perfectly embodies. Please note and check my availability which is much more than what you may see on my instant book slots when those are available. I've accumulated numerous hours on Wyzant tutoring successful coding and debugging in C++, C, Java, Python and Assembly. I have a lot of experience writing algorithmically based functional backend code and understanding the intent of code to better debug it. I can show you all that’s entailed in better debugging practices if you need help there. I can help you understand data structures, the various as well. My background and interest is in algorithmic work such as computational geometry at a 3d metal printing company, automated silicon chip network routing at a large EDA company or calculating the local feature size of a mesh whilst doing my PhD work. I’ve also done some guy work in the past if you need help there. I’ve used C/C++ at work for 8+ years and in school for 3 years as well. I’ve worked as a software developer for over 25 years and during some of that time I obtained my Masters and PhD in Computer Science at night. I have study and work experience implementing data structures, algorithmically based functional backend and object oriented (OO) code, all a big part of C++. I taught Data Structures in Java at Boston College as a visiting lecturer and tutored a crash course in OO the following summer.
Computer Engineering

Computer Engineering

I have worked as a software developer / engineer for over 25 years in addition to obtaining my PhD in Computer Science. During my PhD I studied Computational Geometry, Signal and Image Processing, Computer Vision, Machine Learning and AI among other topics. I have study and work experience implementing data structures, algorithms, object oriented (OO) programming. Languages I’ve used include C++, C, Java, Python. In addition, I taught Data Structures in Java at Boston College(BC) as a visiting lecturer and tutored a crash course in OO the following summer. I also taught simulation and modeling in Excel at BC. Most all of my positions have been related to working on the backend functionality of a commercial product. My interest is in algorithmic work. The applications include 3D Metal Printing, Brain Computer Interface, Computer Aided Design, Electronics Aided Design, Graphics, Data Visualization and a small project involving Animation. Please note and check my availability which is much more than what you may see on my instant book slots. The distinction between a Software Engineer and a Software developer is a bit gray. My work has most often involved system functionality (albeit at an algorithmic level whenever possible). I consider myself a Developer who has Engineered important aspects of many varied systems. This involved working with other engineers, getting inside and outside user specifications, setting up a functionality roadmap in one case, defining functionality in many cases and debugging systems. I have worked mainly on windows but have some Linux, Unix and mac experience as well.
Computer Programming

Computer Programming

Hello and welcome to my page! I absolutely love solving problems, and that is what computer programming / coding and debugging is all about. These problems include understanding desired functionality, researching, writing and implementing ( coding ) algorithms. In addition these problems can require understanding complex legacy code in order to find/fix bugs, or in some cases, redesign a whole sub-system within the code. I'll give you the right set of tools, so you can feel confident in solving any coding problem on your own in the future. I can also help with AP Computer Science A ( APSCA ). Please note and check my availability which is much more than what you may see on my instant book slots. I’ve worked as a software developer for over 25 years in addition to obtaining my PhD in Computer Science. During my PhD I studied Computational Geometry, Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence among other topics. I have study and work experience implementing data structures, algorithms and object oriented (OO) programming. Languages I’ve used include C++, C, Java and Python. In addition, I taught Data Structures in Java at Boston College (BC) as a visiting lecturer and tutored a crash course in java w/OO the following summer. I also taught simulation and modeling in Excel at BC. My work experience includes computational geometry for 3D printing, machine learning for Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) and silicone chip automated network routing in the Electronics Design Automation (EDA) space. I have also worked in the Computer Aided Design (CAD) and the Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) spaces.
Data Structures

Data Structures

I've worked as a software developer for over 25 years where I've written and implemented various data structures. One of the first courses I took to get my undergraduate in Computer Science was Data Structures. I later took several master's classes that had a large focus on data structures including Algorithms and OO using C++. I have additional PhD study and work experience in implementing data structures including work in C++, Java, Python and CGAL which is a collection of Computational Geometry libraries that utilize/implement many data structures. In addition, I taught Data Structures in Java at Boston College(BC) as a visiting lecturer.
GED

GED

With a combined 149+ successful hours tutoring math, logic, arithmetic reasoning, word knowledge and reading comprehension for various placement tests including the GED, ASVAB, ACT, PSAT and SAT I am confident I can help you succeed in the math, arithmetic reasoning, paragraph comprehension and work knowledge sections of the GED. I use GED specific questions and practice tests to focus on what you need to know. I will help you quickly find your weaknesses in my initial assessment and we can work on building up your needed skills during that session. I use tried and true methods I've used with my many repeat test prep students. I have studied for and passed the SAT, GRE, and LSAT, allowing me to get into highly regarded universities to obtain my degrees.

PSAT

PSAT

I have 4 years tutoring experience in all subjects covered on the PSAT. In addition, I have applicable education and work experience in all of the math, reading comprehension and writing problems involved on this test. I'm an effective and patient tutor who can help you help yourself in solving any problem given. Once you know the basics, which I can help you with, it's just a matter of carefully reading the problems and putting all the pieces together. In addition I can give you effective test taking tips. I've taken many tests over the years, including various standardized tests, in getting my degrees in both the STEM and social sciences areas.
Python

Python

I’ve tutored numerous hours on Wyzant in basics, coding and debugging of Python, C++, Java and Assembly. My Python students range from 12 years old to adult. I used Python and scikit-learn for 7 months in a job I had doing brain wave classification and filtering research for a Brain-Computer-Interface company. I learned Python through that job as well as prior company training and self study. Please note and check my availability which is much more than what you may see on my instant book slots (assuming I have any instant books posted). I love problem solving and debugging. This involves understanding desired code functionality and then working through algorithms in the code to find/fix bugs. Implementing new algorithms is also great fun. I'll try to give you the right set of tools so you can feel confident in solving coding/algorithms problems on your own in the future.

SQL

SQL

SQL has been around for a long while. I learned SQL in my database course when getting my BS in Computer Science (while in Germany serving in the US Air Force). Understanding the concepts of databases is a key foundation to being a software developer. I used SQL in one of my first jobs as a software developer at a company that created bank ledger systems. In addition, at the same company, on my own initiative, I wrote a short tutorial for customer support and gave them training on it, as our bug tracking system was written in house. I showed them how to more easily find bug reports by making full use of the capabilities of SQL, which was not made available via user interface.
Statistics

Statistics

Hello! Statistics has always been one of my favorite subjects to teach. Once you understand the basic concepts, you'll see a lot of repetition in pieces of formulas, and you can focus more on the problem solving aspect which can be quite fun. It’s not about memorizing formulas as many students first think. It’s more about knowing which one to use for a particular scenario. There's a lot of beauty behind many of the theorems. I can show you that! I have tutored a variety of statistics courses at the introductory and intermediate levels. AP statistics statistics falls within the scope of what I tutor. Last Fall 2024 I tutored Behavioral Science Statistics required for the Master's in Psychology degree at Harvard Extension. That course involved both introductory and intermediate-level statistics, and we covered principles of measurement, central tendency and variability, probability and distributions, correlation, hypothesis testing, t-tests, analysis of variance and covariance, linear regression, logistic regression, ANOVA (one way, two way/ factorial and repeated measures), ANCOVA and chi-square tests. The student did well and her review is in my profile! I also tutored 10 sessions of Statistics implemented in Python. Over the summer of 2024 I tutored a full 7 week accelerated college applied statistics at Endicott College (a course for engineering and science students unbeknownst to the student until it was too late to change course) and that student also did well! The topics covered in the summer course included : normal distributions, sampling distributions, z score, t score, Z and T confidence intervals for a mean, confidence intervals for a proportion, hypothesis testing, multiple distribution analyses, binomial distribution analysis, central limit theorem, linear regression and correlation. I first tutored statistics for 2 years at San Antonio Junior College and it was one of my favorite jobs and subjects to teach. I’ve visited and revisited statistics in each of my degree areas. I first learn
Writing

Writing

Hello! I enjoy helping others organize their thoughts and / or information into a coherent and compelling form. I would love to help you with your writing! I have 20+ years of academic writing experience of papers and projects of all types, as well as peer reviewed journal and IEEE conference articles. Additionally I have 2 years of tutoring experience in writing papers of all forms (including research papers) at San Antonio Junior College. My academic writing experience is quite varied due to my degrees in both the social and hard sciences. I earned my BA in Psychology from UCLA, Master's in Public Administration from University of Texas at San Antonio, BS in Computer Science from University of Maryland European Division (whilst serving in the USAF in Germany), Master's in Computer Science from Boston University and PhD in Computer Science from University of Massachusetts Lowell.

quick on her feet, adaptive, and very understanding!

I loved my session with Julie! She doesn't normally take last-minute requests from anyone, but I was in a very dire situation with an exam in two days and the fear that I didn't know anything of the concepts (writing code for regression, covariance, beta, and alpha calculations in python) for my Data Management and Analysis class. So, I reached out and asked for her help. Not only was she willing to take me on, but she was very proactive by reviewing all the content I sent beforehand in detail and she asked leading questions so she knew what I wanted from her. She also was very patient in her teaching: she taught me generally praised rules of thumb for naming variables and structuring my main files of code. What I appreciated the most was that she prompted me to figure out a lot of it on my own, but didn't hesitate to step in to tell me what to do next if I was stuck and explain her reasoning. Thank you so much, Julie!

Meera, 1 lesson with Julie
Tutor responded:

Thanks Meera! Your feedback is truly appreciated! I love when I'm able to help a student help themselves. I also love being able to convey knowledge from a variety of fields that I have learned and tutored over the years. Your project was perfect for that with a combination of converting mathematical formulas for various statistical calculations related to linear regression modeling to clean, modular code in Python, while debugging and testing things all along the way. I am so happy that you felt comfortable with the content we covered by the end of the session. It was a lot of fun to work through those problems with you!

knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Julie B. helped my daughter with algebra, and I want to tell you it was an incredible experience. Julie has a lot of experience and patience, and my daughter understood everything without any stress. My daughter was delighted with the class, it was a great experience, and I recommend her for anyone who needs help. Rosanny from Brooklyn,NY

Rosanny, 2 lessons with Julie
Tutor responded:

Thanks so much Rosanny. I really appreciate this feedback! I know when we started and I did an overview of all the rules, your daughter might have been a bit uneasy. But I told her not to worry and it would all become clear by the end of the lesson. As we logically unraveled each problem, sanity checked and verified our solutions, your daughter's smiles, the many light bulb moments and exclamations of, "that's it? it's so easy! all along the way, really made my day. I know by the end she was confident she would do well on her exam versus scared she would not pass, and that is really what this is all about for me. I can't wait to hear how she did ! Nice seeing you and your daughter again and glad to hear about the last exam score of 88 and that the teacher was impressed! I am sure she will do well again on the exam today. Glad I could help clarify and solidify concepts for your daughter. Always a pleasure. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Knowledgeable, Patient, Hardworking and Greatly Skilled (ASVAB)

Julie B. is very knowledgeable and very greatly skilled in her work. She assisted me in tutoring for the ASVAB test. Julie assisted me in reviewing and providing resources and learning materials so that I may become successful. She is very patient, takes time and puts in a lot of time and effort with her students to understand their needs, for her students to succeed and where to best assist them. Julie is also very patient and very highly skilled in her field. It was a great pleasure working with her and highly recommend for any future sessions. Thank You so much!

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! It is greatly appreciated. It was my pleasure working with you and communicating with your Mom on this adventure. You showed great improvements, and that you were learning as we progressed through the topics. I was happy to hear you were doing work on your own as that is how you'll do well on this exam. I wish you all the best and please report back as to how well you scored on the test. I know you will pass but I also know you have certain goals and levels you want to reach on the exam. From what I have seen thus far I know you will achieve what you set out to.

great teacher

Went over are time limit and was still going over question very positive and tell you the main things u need to review and gives you material to review on your own time.

Brandon, 1 lesson with Julie
Tutor responded:

Thanks for the positive feedback Brandon. I'm a believer that knowing a few basic math rules along with a few tricks to speed up calculations, paragraph comprehension or choose a word equivalence when you're not sure of it's meaning, can help you succeed with the ASVAB. I like to give students materials they can study and review on their own to help achieve this goal. I am always here when you get stuck and need guidance in how to solve any problem you might find along the way.

Incredibly helpful tutor

Julie was incredibly helpful during my MediaPipe imaging project. She provided clear, constructive feedback that was both supportive and actionable, helping me navigate some tricky technical challenges. Her deep understanding of the tools and thoughtful suggestions made a big difference in reaching my project goals. I really appreciated her patience and problem-solving approach—she was a fantastic collaborator throughout the process. Highly recommend working with her!

Enas, 1 lesson with Julie
Tutor responded:

Thanks so much for this positive feedback. It is truly appreciated! The problem you sent me was intriguing and challenging. I could see you put some good efforts and thought into it as a start, so it was my pleasure to explore how you could achieve your goals. You found a problem that others had also found with MediaPipe, and who had given various solutions which we were able to go through and implement a sample in one case. Knowing you would be interested, I pointed you to in depth learning videos I have gone through myself, that go into some of the computer vision concepts that MediaPipe is solving/implementing. As I pointed out this is non-trivial work. I am impressed with your project and know you have a bright future based on your efforts, smart questions, and ability to quickly absorb and run with the information I gave you. Take care and I hope to see you again with another interesting project!

Helps every step of the way.

Linear Programing and Solver in Excel. I have been taking online classes at college with little to no help from the professor. Julie has jumped in on even the toughest challenges and really has been a life saver!

Bonnie, 3 lessons with Julie
Tutor responded:

Thanks so much for your positive comments Bonnie! I love showing students the tricks in Excel that make setting up the solver problems faster. Part of the puzzle in solver problems is in the set up, so the specified problem (with all of it's moving parts) is easier to follow and solve. Then there are a few tricks depending on the problem to be solved. Looking forward to working on the next concept with you related to using binary variables. I was happy to see your improvement in setting things up more quickly and effortlessly between the first and second sessions. Like a pro!

Helpful and encouraging tutor!

Julie B. really helped me succeed in my C++ class by assisting me on a homework assignment and was able to teach me the fundamentals of C++ when I didn't fully know the language. She was encouraging in helping me understand my code and the issues that came along with it.

Frankie, 20 lessons with Julie
Tutor responded:

Thanks Frankie. I've really enjoyed working with you to help you better understand C++ data structures, how to create efficient algorithms and of course how to use the debugger! I'm super psyched to hear how well you did in your class! That is amazing and I'm so happy I was able to help you. Also happy to hear that you think that the topic of algorithms and data structures is really interesting. I will always think fondly and chuckle at our good laugh about my naming of your last BFS 6 degrees of separation coding problem, the Kevin Bacon problem.

Knowledgeable and comprehensive tutor.

Julie helped me greatly with conceptualizing types of pointers and linked lists by working through class problems with me. She walked through problems step by step, teaching me about debugging tips along the way and drew pictures so I com plus better understand concepts. Her tutoring helped me understand topics as a whole and gave me a better understanding of how to work through errors and bugs.

I really enjoyed working with you on your C college course. You picked just the right amount of work to cover during the last session we did for your exam review. You have a great grasp on coding and I know you will go far in this area. Glad I could help you to better help yourself! That is indeed my goal! It really makes my day when I can do that for someone.

Fantastic Tutor!

My son is a university student taking a challenging Computer Vision course. He needed some help with an assignment, but several Computer Vison tutors who I contacted said that they were not familiar with the concepts covered. Julie was able to help my son, who said she could clearly explain difficult concepts. He also said that she was also very patient and friendly. I would highly recommend Julie if you are looking for a great tutor!

Thanks Doug! Josh was a pleasure to work with. I'm glad I was able to help. Image processing is something I enjoyed in school and enjoy helping students with.

Patient, helpful and knowledgeable

Julie helped understand concepts I was not familiar with. She repeated many times until I understood. I valued the patience as I am new to programming concepts. She has gone above and beyond to help and make sure I understand.

Thanks Leo. It's been fun working with you. Hopefully I've helped you to help yourself with your C++ coding via teaching you how to use the debugger and in explaining various concepts like dynamically created arrays of structs, structs within structs and arrays within structs. I was glad to hear you were making great progress on your own since our last session!
