Bio

In my professional career as a software developer, I formally trained many adults and mentored younger people who worked for me. I am well informed about software design with a detailed knowledge of algorithms, data structures, object-oriented software development, relational databases and other topics. Java, C++, C and SQL are among the computer languages I have mastered.

In my professional career as a software developer, I formally trained many adults and mentored younger people who worked for me. I am well informed about software design with a detailed knowledge of algorithms, data structures, object-oriented software development, relational databases and other topics. Java, C++, C and SQL are among the computer languages I have mastered.

My objective is to help each learner master the subject, but also to help them become more effective learners on their own. My approach is to stick closely to their text and other materials, making sure they can complete the assignments correctly. In addition, I make sure they understand what they are doing so that they don't get lost later on.

The first time we meet I consider a trial lesson. I do my best to help and, at the end of the hour, I decide if I can be of help and ask the learner if they want to continue with me as their tutor. If they do not, I do not charge for that first hour.

If you choose me as your tutor, I look forward to meeting and working with you.

C

C

I have been a professional software developer since 1981. I learned C in 1983 and developed a PC-based test scoring system as my first project. I used C/C++ full time for five years and occasionally after that. I led the successful migration of a software development group from Fortran to C / C++. As part of that effort, I designed and developed a library to use mapped memory files for lookup, and other tools. My approach is to help you complete whatever programs or projects your course requires. We can address your high-level approach to the problem, the design of the classes you will use, the data structures you will use, and even the syntax of C. Short of doing them for you, I will do what is necessary to get each project completed in a way that you fully understand.

I have been a professional software developer since 1981. I learned C in 1983 and C++ a few years after that. I used C / C++ full time for five years and occasionally after that. I led the successful migration of a software development group from Fortran to C / C++. As part of that effort, I designed and developed a class library to support exact arithmetic, software to use mapped memory files for lookup, and other tools.

I learned computer programming in 1961 and have been a professional software developer since 1982. I have programmed in assembler, Basic, C, C++, Cobol, Fortran, Java, SQL and other languages long forgotten. I now tutor in C, C++, Java and SQL only.
Data Structures

Data Structures

I have many years of experience building complex software systems in C, C++ and Java that used all of the commonly taught data structures and interfaced with SQL data managers. I have implemented most of the commonly taught data structures in both object-oriented and functional programming styles. I have successfully taught data structures to many Wyzant students.
Java

Knowledgeable in large scoop of coding

I have worked with Carter 4 times so far and plan to continue to do so in the future. He has vast knowledge of a variety of coding languages. I acquired about C and relating it back to assembly. He was able to quickly assess where I was having disconnects and fill them in with ease. He doesn't want his students to just get through the current homework or project, but he wants to make sure you learn the proper ways to be able to utilize the information in the real world (or even just your next homework) and be successful with your career goals. Thank you Carter!

Carter helped me when no one else could

I needed help with a really niche assembly language. After asking a dozen tutors for help, Carter was the only one who said he could help me. And he did! He helped me understand debugging which helped me see exactly where my code went wrong. I can thank Carter for helping me pass a class I was once failing.

Sarina, 2 lessons with Carter

A patient tutor who knows his stuff!

Carter takes the time to explain everything step by step to make sure I understand exactly what I'm doing. He's patient with me and has decades of knowledge under his belt! I couldn't have asked for a better tutor!

Jessica, 3 lessons with Carter

Excellent

Really patient and demonstrated expert understanding of the subject matter. Would recommend to other people needing to discuss C. I appreciate his help with my homework.

Sara, 1 lesson with Carter

Knowledgeable and Patient

Carter helped me with my understanding of class and object in C++. He made sure that I understood what I was doing and provided me with additional tools to finish my assignment alone.

Abdul Aziz, 1 lesson with Carter

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Carter has helped me with understanding C++ and Java and is reasonable and makes sure you really understand the material. I have tried several tutors and am a returning customer for Carter.

Jessica, 2 lessons with Carter

Very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with

Carter helps me with fundamentals of Java. I can say , his knowledge is on another level. He explains the basics thoroughly so it very easy to understand the more complex stuff.

Alon, 4 lessons with Carter

Great Tutor

He is awesome, and does his best to teach you the material. He has advance knowledge of C programming language. He does a great job of blending class material brought to him, and giving real world examples of how it applies.

Franklin, 8 lessons with Carter

Recursion

How to work with recursion and output them as odd integers and total them in row of pins to find value and sum of all in the pins. Did a great job of working with me through it

Harris, 7 lessons with Carter

Amazing Skilled Tutor

Worked on Generic List and Array queues. Taught me the importance of the assignment and implemented functions. Looking forward to future lessons.
