About Brian

Bio

Hey there! My name is Brian and I'm a software engineer with 5 years of professional experience. I've worked for both large companies and startups, and have even started and owned my own company. I am extremely passionate about Computer Science, and love helping people understand topics they are struggling with. I spent 2 years as a teaching assistant at my college in various classes, and regularly helped my peers understand confusing topics (I'm looking at you, recursion!)

Hey there! My name is Brian and I'm a software engineer with 5 years of professional experience. I've worked for both large companies and startups, and have even started and owned my own company. I am extremely passionate about Computer Science, and love helping people understand topics they are struggling with. I spent 2 years as a teaching assistant at my college in various classes, and regularly helped my peers understand confusing topics (I'm looking at you, recursion!)

I am passionate about both Computer Science in general, and explaining complex topics in easily digestible ways. I like to think of myself as a sort of "translator" between professors and students, breaking down a professors' complex and often superficial explanation of a topic.

While tutoring, I like to guide students into finding their own answers, as I believe when one is able to come to an answer on their own instead of being given one, it builds a strong foundation for problem solving in the future and a deeper, more complete understanding of the topic being studied.

I have also been a mentor for a First Robotics team in my hometown, helping them organize their team, make a plan, and work together. I love to work with students of all ages, and try to inspire others to love to learn and understand a topic they're interested in.

Feel free to contact me and we can chat about what topics you need to work on so we can figure out a good approach that will work for both of us!

Very knowledgeable about Swift and explains things well!

Brian helped me with a particular issue I was having utilizing section headers on a UITableView and while we were at it he helped me with some fundamental concepts with table views as well as .xib files and MVVM architecture. Great session!

Knowledgeable tutor

Brian helped my 15 year old daughter who is struggling in her AP Computer Class. He was able to clearly explain and help her in Java which is what she needed the most help in. She very much enjoyed her session with Brian. Highly recommend!

Melissa, 1 lesson with Brian

Knowledgeable and patient, indeed!

Brian helped me understand exactly what I needed to understand rather than just completing an assignment. I walked away from the lesson with a much stronger grasp of the concepts required for my assignment. I highly recommend.

Very knowledgeable and helpful!

Brian helped me with constraints and organizing my storyboard. Even though my issue was a niche problem he was able to successfully help me. He was patient and pleasant and is an excellent tutor! Great session!

Knowledgable and patient tutor

Brian taught me about switching between view controllers in Swift as well as a bit about load lazy. He was thorough and gave great examples and helped me understand my assignment.

Great industry-targeted knowledge of software development

Brian was extremely knowledgeable and had excellent cadence when it came to teaching. He knew exactly how to explain the tricky pieces and how to prepare me for tackling problems once our session ended. He is an excellent, experienced tutor!
