About Eric


Bio

I have taught classes in C++, Java, Python, and C# at the Delaware Technical Community College. Recently, I have been tutoring people on Wyzant in Python and Java, including developing GUI programs in both languages. I also have experience using Python to access relational databases and using the numpy, pandas, and matplotlib libraries. My recent experiences include programming the Raspberry Pi Pico board in MicroPython to work with various peripherals.

I have taught classes in C++, Java, Python, and C# at the Delaware Technical Community College. Recently, I have been tutoring people on Wyzant in Python and Java, including developing GUI programs in both languages. I also have experience using Python to access relational databases and using the numpy, pandas, and matplotlib libraries. My recent experiences include programming the Raspberry Pi Pico board in MicroPython to work with various peripherals.

In my teaching and tutoring, I’ve worked with many students who are struggling with the basic concepts of programming. This is frustrating and limits their ability to move on to more complex programming. I try to use everyday examples to explain programming concepts for those just starting and have a large collection of examples in Python.

While I have worked with people of all ages on Wyzant, I particularly enjoy working with young children who are learning programming for the first time, or graduating from Scratch to Python. I have worked with children as young as 10.

Approved Subjects

Java

Java

I have taught both beginning and intermediate Java classes in a college environment. In addition to the basics, I have taught object oriented programming and JavaFX. I have used both Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA as integrated programming environments (IDEs). I strongly believe using an IDE for writing and debugging code will make you much more successful as a programmer at any level.
Python

Python

I have taught Python as part of college level, 16 week, Introduction to Scripting class. I teach students the benefits of using Pycharm, a modern integrated programming environment, for both writing and debugging Python projects. I have also taught students how to use Python to develop windows applications using Tkinter, an Python extension.

Excellent, Patient and knowledgeable Tutor

I am so happy to find Eric. He is a fantastic teacher with so much kindness and patience. My daughter really understands her coding on a deeper level because of him.

Great tutor for teens

My 14-year-old and 12-year-old enjoy taking Python classes with Eric. He is very patient and explains the concepts well. Previously, my kids had taken group classes that moved through projects quickly, but they didn't really understand what they were learning. I think they'll be able to build a good programming foundation with Eric while creating custom projects they enjoy. My kids say Mr. Eric is chill. They like him!

Thanks for your feedback.

Great explanations

My son took a session to solve a java problem and he really liked the approach for problem solving, pseudo code and a general programming tips. My son would like to have more

Helpful

Eric provided a solid overview of some of the basic data structure principles. He helped me review the data and make considerations to develop a new database. I highly recommend him!

Python apprentice

Eric is teaching me the facets and foundations of Python. Eric is very patient and flexible. I always appreciate our time together. Looking forward to many more virtual meetings as my mission to thoroughly understand Python continues.

Great help!

Eric was very knowledgeable, very helpful. I strongly recommend him. I will schedule more sessions with him. Now, Wyzant tells me I have to leave a recommendation of at least 160 characters!!! I hope this gets me over the threshold! :)

Ivan, 3 lessons with Eric

knowledgeable and patient

My son has been meeting with Eric for several months. He's a great instructor/tutor. I highly recommend him for anyone wanting to learn Python. Very accommodating on scheduling lessons which is great because we live in different time zones and my son is still in high school.

Eric has a smooth delivery

Eric is a very conscientious and knowledgeable about Python. He was quick to identify what areas I need help with and I look forward to taking more classes. Eric is an asset to wyzant
