Hi! My name is Franklin, and I recently graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Master’s in Computer Science and a B.S. in Applied Mathematics. I am also an incoming software engineer at Capital One. My academic and professional background has given me a strong foundation in math, programming, algorithms, machine learning, and software engineering, and I enjoy helping students build confidence in subjects that can often feel intimidating at first.
I tutor students in SAT/ACT Math, introductory programming in Python and Java, AP Computer Science, and data structures. I work with high school and college students, especially those preparing for standardized tests, taking their first computer science course, or trying to strengthen their problem-solving skills. I can also help students understand topics such as recursion, linked lists, trees, basic algorithms, and other concepts that are important for computer science coursework and technical interview preparation.
My tutoring approach is patient, structured, and focused on understanding rather than memorization. I try to meet each student where they are, identify the specific areas causing confusion, and then break problems down into clear steps. For math tutoring, I emphasize recognizing patterns, choosing the right strategy, and avoiding common mistakes. For programming tutoring, I focus on helping students think through code logically, debug effectively, and understand why a solution works instead of simply copying syntax.
Whether a student is trying to raise an SAT or ACT math score, prepare for AP Computer Science, succeed in an introductory college CS course, or feel more comfortable with data structures, I tailor each session to their goals. I am available for summer tutoring from June through August and can offer flexible scheduling.
