About Michael


Bio

I am a graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a B.S. in Computer Science. I'm currently working as a Quantitative Developer for Fidelity Investments. Teaching and helping others has always been a passion of mine, and I spent two and a half years working as a teaching assistant for various 100-300-level computer science courses.

I am a graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a B.S. in Computer Science. I'm currently working as a Quantitative Developer for Fidelity Investments. Teaching and helping others has always been a passion of mine, and I spent two and a half years working as a teaching assistant for various 100-300-level computer science courses. The topics I have tutored for include (but are not limited to) C++ program design, object oriented design, and computer science fundamentals. Receiving tutoring and tutoring others gave me valuable perspective that allows me to be as effective as possible in teaching others important and complex topics.

I have extensive work experience in a wide variety of fields, including software engineering for TransUnion, one of the 3 major credit bureaus in the U.S. My job primarily deals with C++, and I have also worked on various personal projects in C++ that leverage the advantages of modern C++ constructs (C++11/14). I'm very patient and prioritize the understanding and application of topics over memorization. I do not do the work for my students; I help my students work through the problems themselves.

Computer Languages I tutor: C, C++, and Java

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. I am always happy to help.

Great Tutor!

He is very patient and understanding. He will talk as simple as possible to help you understand the material which was very helpful for me since I am a beginner. He was also very kind and explained everything I asked for very well and I feel as if I learned more in the hour and a half session than I did in most of the time in my actual class. Again super helpful!!

Incredibly Helpful and Patient

Michael makes sure that you fully understand what you're doing. He would check that I understood the concept completely before moving on, and when I still didn't understand, he had many different ways to explain it. He is personable as well and really seems to care that you understand the concepts of C++.

Paula, 1 lesson with Michael

Very patient and makes sure you understand the material

After trying a few different tutors for C++ programming, Michael definitely clicked for me. His explanations are easy to understand, and he answered all my questions. I really liked that once he explained the concept to me, he had me work through examples and ensured I understood the material. I am now much more confident and I definitely recommend him!

Very Knowledgeable and helpful

I can't say enough good things about Michael and my Java lesson with him. I am very much a beginner and he was patient and was able to continue the call until all of my questions were answered. He is great at explaining the language in a way that makes sense and had me talk through it and write the code which is very helpful for retaining how to write it. I came away feeling more confident in my Java writing abilities.

Patti, 1 lesson with Michael

Very kind, actually teaches, and cares

Michael was extremely helpful! He wouldn't move on if I didn't understand a concept. He was very patient with me and understanding. He doesn't just give you the answer or try to rush you either, he is very thorough and caring. He gave good constructive criticism and made sure that I understood what was going on before just assuming that I knew. I got an A on my assignment, he gave me hope in myself again.

Knowledge, 2 lessons with Michael

Wonderful experience

Michael was patient enough to take me back through my code and explain all the necessary aspects of my program enabling me to be better and more knowledgeable. I would defiantly recommend to anyone that is struggling with their code or simply needs a refresher!

Object Oriented Programming with Java

Michael is a CS professional with strong coding and deep conceptional skillsets. That was a great lesson with Michael, we not only solved my problem, I learned a lot of new stuff and we have a lot of fun during the class. I highly recommend Michael for any student, who wants clearly understand covered topics in easy understandable way. Good luck buddy!
