Hi, I'm Steve! I hold two master's degrees in computer and business subjects (one from the Wharton School and the other from Manhattan College) as well as a master's certificate in project management (from George Washington University). I'm certified to teach technology and business courses in the state of NJ. My background is in IT, Marketing, and Finance. After having spent a career in the business world I'm now using my expertise and knowledge to give others the skills necessary to succeed in an ever-changing environment. I enjoy working with college and high-school students, I have a passion for technology, and I love teaching. I've taught in the corporate world, as an adjunct at the college level, and to high school students.

I believe in being a lifelong learner. I’ve become that because of some of the excellent teachers that I’ve had throughout my life. I've had many teachers that have challenged me to learn, to question what I know (or think I know), to move beyond the facts and figures that I could find in a textbook and apply what I've learned. That is the type of teacher that I want to be for my students. To be effective I recognize that each student is an individual with their own strengths and weaknesses. I continuously work to identify strategies and techniques of teaching so that each student can reach their own potential.

I have a career full of real-world experience. I've created applications and websites utilizing many different platforms. I've worked with a diverse set of languages and technologies over my career and I'm used to mentoring and teaching these skills to others.

You can expect a very customized approach to your tutoring needs. I'm very patient and use real-life examples to help teach the material. I'm very easy to reach and can respond quickly to your needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or to schedule a lesson! I'm looking forward to helping you!

Very cool and patient tutor!

Stephen is VERY patient and understanding! He acknowledges exactly what you need help on and prioritizes your understanding. I was struggling in my economics class but he helped me get a high score on the test!

Knowledgeable, Pacient, and Understanding Tutor.

"Stephen is an exceptional tutor who went above and beyond to help me understand the complex materials in my Java class. His teaching style is clear, concise, and engaging, making it easy for me to grasp even the most challenging concepts. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and tailors his lessons to address my individual needs. His dedication and patience have made a huge impact on my academic success, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you're looking for an excellent Java tutor, look no further than Stephen.

Great teacher

Really helps you walk through the problem. As a masters student at GW,most the problems in MSIST are not hard, but require a lot of thought, Steve teaches you to think through the problem. He really is a teach man to fish and he will never go hungry kind of guy. Great in HTML, Relational Databases, and other subjects. Thanks again Steve, 5 good stars!!!!!
