Bio

Hi, I have a BS in CS. I first began tutoring as a high school junior by helping students in Grades 1-8 with homework, and I had even helped high school students at times with their homework. After that, I maintained three tutoring jobs working as a coding instructor at Startup Wonder teaching students grades 3-8 of up to 24 in a classroom, robotics instructor at Magikids Robotics with the Wonder Dash Robot teaching students Grades K-5 of up to 8 in a classroom, and as of today a coding...

Hi, I have a BS in CS. I first began tutoring as a high school junior by helping students in Grades 1-8 with homework, and I had even helped high school students at times with their homework. After that, I maintained three tutoring jobs working as a coding instructor at Startup Wonder teaching students grades 3-8 of up to 24 in a classroom, robotics instructor at Magikids Robotics with the Wonder Dash Robot teaching students Grades K-5 of up to 8 in a classroom, and as of today a coding instructor at theCoderSchool in Fremont for 4 years now teaching programming languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, C++. and Scratch teaching students ages 5-22 of up to 6 in a class.

Usually, my approach would be to first check if students understand concept I teach. If not, then I would teach it to them and check to see if they are understanding it by asking them questions occasionally. Then, I would give them homework whenever possible and sometimes give them a quiz to check to see if they retained what they learned in previous classes, and then check to see if they have any questions or doubts from previous classes. I want my students to benefit from my classes, and I always check to see if they are following what I am teaching them before moving on to the next topics.

Math was always one of my strong subjects in school since elementary school from just basic addition and subtraction to pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, statistics, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus. Math has helped me develop an interest in computer science as well as understand chemistry and physics. Programming languages that I work with are Java, Python, JavaScript, HTML, Lua, C Sharp, and SQL. I am also familiar with Spring and REST. I am also fluent in Spanish as my third language as I took four years of Spanish in secondary school and communicated in that language occasionally as a fast food employee back when I was a teenager.

I am also Oracle Certified in Java as I passed the OCA and OCP exams on my first attempt.

Knowledgeable and patient

Fixed my code and showed me what I needed to know. Thanks for your patience. Would most certainly use this guy again. Showed up for me last minute and was a great help.

Very helpful tutor

Karl is very helpful and was able to explain the problem I was stuck on. He is very knowledgeable with java and would definitely recommend him if you are stuck on homework or are have trouble learning Java.

Garrett, 14 lessons with Karl

Knowledgeable and patient tutor!

He is so good at Java and gave me a big help. It is my first time to have a tutor like this. The session is amazing and more than what I expected. I learn a lot from his lesson. Thank you, Karl!

Han, 17 lessons with Karl

Great, engaging instructor!

Karl has weekly sessions (3 so far) with our 13 year old son who wants to learn coding. He is teaching him Python and my son loves it! They are currently designing a video game and my normally quiet kid can’t wait to tell us all about their progress after each lesson. It’s awesome to see him so exited about learning something new. Thanks Karl!

Nicole, 24 lessons with Karl

Very nice and understanding tutor

Karl helped me set up a database using Workbench and was very skilled on SQL commands. I was one hour late to our scheduled online lesson due to my school class getting out two hours late, and Karl was very understanding. He was a big help.

Shaun, 1 lesson with Karl

Good at explaining Java concepts

Things got off to a good start with Karl when he volunteered to help out with a high school AP Computer Science assignment on a couple hours notice after another tutor had to cancel at the last moment. We continued with him twice a week for the duration of the course (about 6 weeks). Karl was good at getting my son back on track in the middle of the course, giving him assignments between sessions and then helping him as needed. He was particularly good at explaining difficult programming concepts. If an explanation didn't work the first time, he would come up with different way to make it clear. Over the 6 weeks, my son gained a much better understanding of Java programming.

Mike, 11 lessons with Karl

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

He is helping me in Python. Very accurate and knowledgeable. He explains and makes sure you understand. I have used him several times and I will keep using him in the future. I would recommend him to friends and family.
