Hello! I am Lawrence. I am a software engineer, holding a Bachelor of Science in computer science. I am passionate about programming and education. I graduated Summa Cum Laude in 3 years from Brooklyn College with a 3.93/4.0 GPA.

I am primarily a Java developer but I have also worked on full-stack applications with React and Express JS. I have worked as a STEM tutor for over 5 years, helping students ranging from elementary schoolers to college students. Some of my experience includes being a math tutor at my old high school, a business tutor at my college's learning center, and more!

I am a certified Java Developer, holding the Oracle Java SE 8 Programmer certification. I am also familiar with Python.

I am experienced with front-end development industry standards such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and React. I have also used some back-end technologies, such as Express.JS but I am most familiar with front-end.

Furthermore, I am self-taught in Unity and hold the official Unity Essentials certifications. If you are interested in game development, I can teach and guide you through the basics of game development in Unity.

Some of my other skills include certification in Microsoft Office (Microsoft Office Specialist 2016), Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Photoshop. I am passionate about writing and the English language, so feel free to ask me to proofread any of your works. I am also able to assist you with math, such as algebra or even discrete mathematics.

Feel free to ask me to help you with anything! Whether you have a question about an assignment and need me to guide you through the difficulties of formal education, want me to hold a mock behavioral (and/or) technical interview for you, or even want to me create an in-depth course for something you want to learn, I am happy to! I am concise and clear in my teaching and I strive to be the ideal teacher you wish you had in school. Your success is my greatest reward!

Computer Science

Computer Science

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and knew it was what I wanted to do since I was a high school student. I am comfortable with the computer science topics that are commonly taught at an undergraduate level, both theoretical and practical. This includes hands-on coding along with more conceptual topics such as discrete mathematics.
CSS

CSS

I have extensive experience in using CSS to style web applications, dating all the way back to when I started coding. I am also experienced with widely used CSS frameworks, such as Bootstrap. I am able to make web applications both visually appealing and responsive on various devices.

Great tutor

My son was really struggling with coding. He failed 3 quizzes in row. In a very short time working with Lawrence he has been able to turn it around. His new scores are 93,95, and 2 one hundreds. My son enjoys his lessons with Lawrence and his confidence has gone way up.

Knowledgeable tutor

He helped my son achieve a better understanding towards python. He’s patient and cooperative with guest to help the person understand what they’re questioning. He helps the person become more knowledgeable towards the subject by also giving a guide towards the person.

Excellent tutor - extremely helpful when in a bind.

Lawrence really helped me with a project that I had due the next day. He helped me figure out was not working and improve my CS project. I got an A on it. I thought for sure I was going to bomb and would have if it were not for Lawrence’s assistance.
