About John


Bio

Hi, I'm John. I'm a coder with 15 years' teaching experience. I have taught AP Computer Science in Java as well as courses in Web development using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. For me, writing code is fun; it is like solving a puzzle. And it still feels like magic when, suddenly, the computer is doing what I want it to do!

I have obtained certifications in JavaScript, CSS, and Web Development from Scrimba, FreeCodeCamp, and the Flatiron School.

My other passion is teaching. I taught...

Hi, I'm John. I'm a coder with 15 years' teaching experience. I have taught AP Computer Science in Java as well as courses in Web development using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. For me, writing code is fun; it is like solving a puzzle. And it still feels like magic when, suddenly, the computer is doing what I want it to do!

I have obtained certifications in JavaScript, CSS, and Web Development from Scrimba, FreeCodeCamp, and the Flatiron School.

My other passion is teaching. I taught high school Biology, Chemistry, and Physics before learning to code. Since then, I have taught Computer Science to high school students of many levels, from complete beginners to the Advanced Placement classes. Because I remember what it was like to be learning to code for the first time, I am able to see where a student needs help to get a deeper understanding. For me, there is nothing better than seeing a the light go on in a student's eyes as they actually "get it."

I'm warm, friendly, and approachable, eager to do whatever it takes to help you understand programming and get you creating successful projects.

Very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor

My son absolutely loves John and the way he teaches him Java. He called John the GOAT after having met with a few other tutors who didn’t quiet know how to teach Adam in a style where the information is cemented. Adam is now able to apply those concepts readily in class and on his exams. Thanks John!

Great tutor

John is very knowledgeable and patient. We worked on my website project using 2 APIs, and although we encountered several obstacles, John was able to lead me through the entire session providing every advice and correction I need.

Excellent AP CS tutor

John has been a huge help to my daughter with AP CS. He is responsive, patient and knowledgeable and comes well prepared to all her sessions. He has helped her fill in gaps in her learning. Knowing he is available to help has significantly reduced her stress around CS. Highly recommend John.
