Princeton Grad for Computer Science and Programming Tutoring

Linda W.

Hello! I’m Linda, a passionate software engineer with over six years of experience in the tech industry. I graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Computer Science, where I built a strong foundation in programming and software engineering principles. My professional journey has provided me with diverse experiences, from building websites at a large digital agency for clients like Google to working on large-scale systems at a health insurance startup.

I believe anyone can learn to code and excel in computer science with the right guidance and support. My approach to tutoring is personalized, focusing on each student’s unique strengths and challenges. I strive to create a positive and engaging learning environment, encouraging students to set the pace and ask plenty of questions! If a student struggles with a particular concept, I break it down into its prerequisite components and work on those with them to strengthen their fundamentals. Whether you’re a beginner grasping the basics or an advanced student refining your skills, I’m here to help you achieve your goals with patience and positive energy.

I have two years of experience tutoring core computer science topics and programming languages (such as Python and Java) to adults in one-on-one settings. With past students, I have guided them through project planning, provided feedback and code reviews, and mentored them on engineering best practices. I have helped them break down large technical problems into actionable components designed to facilitate their learning while empowering them to be the primary contributors on their dream projects. Likewise, I can guide you in developing your own applications and provide mentorship for any technical project you want to build.

Let’s embark on this journey together and unlock your potential in the exciting world of programming!
