C

C

I have been working with C and C++ for over 25 years. I have seen it change from "C with Classes," to the language we have today. I have kept abreast with coding best practices, and modern advise on auto, pointer, smart pointer, reference and gvalue, lvalue, rvalue, xvalue and prvalue and move semantics. I have a great deal of experience with the STL, and proper use of templates.

I have countless successful full lifecycle development projects under my belt. I have worked with Product Management and stakeholders to develop project requirements schedules. I am happy to share my knowledge and experience with you.
Calculus

Calculus

Calculus in one of my favorite subjects to tutor. As a Physicist, and even as a software engineer, I have had a long acquaintance with both analytical and numerical methods in Calculus, and in teaching and explaining them to others. I find that while people are often intimidated when they are first exposed to the subject, given the right attention and individual coaching, they can easily master the subject. In addition to helping you master the subject, I will also introduce you to so many additional resources, available free online, to help you along your Calculus journey. While it may seem sometimes that Calculus is just one great big mixed up jumble of finicky techniques and obscure rules and ideas. I believe the subject can become completely intuitive and understandable with the right teaching methods. Let me help you untangle that mess and master this subject. Calculus is such an important subject, both to your education and your future. Don't let your GPA or future suffer!

CSS

CSS

No matter what you try, do your web pages still not look right? Do you get lost trying to pick the right CSS Selectors? Is trying to coax Floats into place harder than herding cats? Are you still not sure exactly what it means to make your web pages responsive? Well stop pulling your hair out, I am here to help! When it comes to Laying out an HTML page you need a solid understanding of how positioning and display properties affect the placement, of HTML elements, in the Layout flow, how the HTML box model works, and how to use it to get the results you want.I can guide you though the correct way to form your HTML, and how to use CSS3 to get the look you are aiming for. I can help you to learn new Layout styles, like Flexbox and CSS Grid, new CSS3 effects like Gradient, Transforms, Transitions and Animations. I can help guide you to best practices for proper responsive design, using only HTML and CSS.
Geometry

Geometry

Teaching geometry requires a different touch, than most other Math Classes. Geometry is unique among the early math classes, as it relies mainly on the ability to reason spatially, and not on the ability to manipulate symbols on a page. Yet, geometry is probably one of the most important courses you will ever take, as many Mathematicians say, "All math IS Geometry." With a PhD in Physics, and an interest in many pure maths, such as differential geometry, abstract algebra, discrete math, computer algorithms, and number theory, I spend allot of time revisiting the Concepts I learned in Geometry. Let me help you gain and understanding and an appreciation for this incredible subject.
HTML

HTML

I've been using HTML since around 1996. I have used it in pretty much every single web project, whether using CSS to format it for front end design, moving it around the page with jQuery and JavaScript, or outputting it with Java from the back end. I'm comfortable with DreamWeaver, and I can teach the common "five page site" at the beginner level, form submission, advanced layout/design techniques, responsive design with media queries, and input validation.
Java

Great tutor

I just started with Jeffrey. He clearly has strong python and general IT skills. He is also a great teacher, explaining each step clearly until I understand. He listened well to all my requirements and worked them into the lesson. I look forward to continuing my work with him.

David, 1 lesson with Jeffery

Very intelligent and patient Python tutor

Jeffrey H has taught me automation test structure, and how to setup up functions, and constructors. He has done this before and has a plan. It has been very helpful to me. I highly recommend him.

Brett, 35 lessons with Jeffery

Good tutor

Helped with a problem I'd spent weeks on. They make me use 160 characters for this review. Why? Seems arbitrary. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for... something. It's been a while since I memorized that.

James, 2 lessons with Jeffery

Excellent Tutor! Knowledgeable, patient and teaches well!!

Jeffrey helped me create a simple server that provides an API for someone to create, read, update, delete products, and do product reviews using MongoDB. I had 5 sessions with Jeffrey and he taught me so much. Hire him you won't be sorry.

Anthony, 10 lessons with Jeffery

Knowledgeable and kind.

Jeffrey taught my kid comp programming. They went over some of her problems and he gave her scenarios to help her think through the problems so that she could understand how to work out a solution if she had to do on her own.

Paulette , 2 lessons with Jeffery

Knowledgeable and patient

Hey was thorough and helped me solve many problems in my code. He helped me understand what many different blocks of code were executing. I also learned several unexpected coding tips in our session. I want to schedule with him again.

Renee, 3 lessons with Jeffery

Used once, will seek out next time

I am working through a self paced software engineering bootcamp and was struggling to get through a certain portion of it. Jeffery hopped right on zoom with me and we shared screens with each other and he walked with me through the coding challenge I was dealing with, and simultaneously spoke to the mindset of coding and a few related issues. Very helpful and honestly felt lucky that he was there for me.

Jared, 1 lesson with Jeffery
