Greetings! My name is Brian, and I'll be your tutor for Computer Science!

I studied Computer Science at NYU, graduating with Cum Laude honors. I am an experienced software engineer with experience ranging from CTO at startups to intern at Fortune 500 corporations. Students can expect to count on my experience to help them achieve their goals, whether they are looking to get top marks in their Computer Science course or build a functional and classy resume project.

As a former Computer Science student myself, I understand that it can be difficult to understand some of the more complex concepts of software engineering without proper guidance. That's why I'm here to provide you with the guidance you need to overcome the difficulties of programming. My approach is interaction and engagement, and I will try my best to help you visualize and understand any problems which you encounter with your course or project and will adapt my teaching style to your needs.

I know that you want to find the most qualified tutor for your needs, so here's a rundown of what makes me qualified as an instructor. I have 9 years of experience developing with Python, and about half that with Java and web development. I have served as an intern at a Fortune 500 financial corporation, as well as the Chief Technology Officer of two startups, helping design, develop, and deploy the systems from the ground up.

Computer Science is an incredibly popular and rapidly growing field currently. There are many high paying jobs that require Computer Science proficiency, with many students competing for limited spots. I want to help students achieve the most they can in this hot field, so please reach out to me if you need any help with computer science and software engineering! I am fluent in both English and Chinese (Mandarin). If you prefer a lesson in Chinese, please let me know ahead of time so that I can accommodate you. Thanks!

Approved Subjects

Computer Science

Computer Science

I've worked extensively with coding, starting from Python 9 years ago, to Java 5 years ago, to HTML/CSS, JavaScript, C and such more recently. Within Python, I've developed many applications, including Flask frameworks and JSON modification schemes. I've worked as an intern at a Fortune 500 financial company, and a Chief Technology Officer at two startups, so I have extensive experience designing, managing, and coding software projects. I'm currently in the process of earning my bachelors degree in Computer Science at New York University, a top university in the field of software engineering.
Java

Java

I have worked extensively with Java for the past 5 years, building projects such as a Spring Boot based webscraper from scratch. I am well rehearsed in the wide range of Java topics that students often have trouble with, including APCSA, Object Oriented Programming, and Data Structures and Algorithms. Whether you have an exam coming up or you are struggling with an assignment or project, I can help you reach your goals with the Java language.
Python

Python

I am a professional Python developer with 9 years of Python development experience. I have worked as an intern at a Fortune 500 financial corporation, as well as the Chief Technology Officer at 2 startups. I am very proficient with developing applications with Python and all the ins and outs of the language syntax, so you can depend on my knowledge to help you become the Python developer you want to be.
Web Design

Web Design

I have worked on many projects that involve web design and development. The most prominent is the SAAS startup which was built using HTML/CSS and bootstrap. I have various other Flask based projects that also use HTML and CSS. Additionally, I have taken web design courses that have helped me in polishing my web design skills.

Excellent tutor, very thorough and patient

Brian was extremely helpful with my intro to CS assignments. He thoroughly explained each step and found creative solutions to problems that seemed unsolvable. I highly recommend tutoring with Brian if you’re struggling in CS, or are stuck on any individual problem.
