With over 25 years of hands-on experience in software development, I specialize in Python, C++, Java, and C#, along with a broad range of computer programming techniques. My expertise extends to Computer Science fundamentals such as algorithms, data structures, and software engineering principles. I excel in teaching through visual presentations and one-on-one coaching, helping students build a strong foundation from high school through graduate school. My approach ensures each student understands these critical areas deeply.

Throughout my career, I’ve successfully collaborated with major companies on significant projects, including IBM, My World of Sports, and Popcha! In 2008, I managed a business serving over 10,000 customers, demonstrating my ability to lead large-scale projects. Since 2002, I’ve managed my own business while continuously expanding my expertise, particularly in game development using Unity and Unreal Engine. I’m well-versed in academic CS tools like Greenfoot, Karel, Processing, p5.js, and Turtle, as well as data science tools such as Pandas, Numpy, and SciKitLearn.

My passion for programming began in high school and has only grown stronger over the years. Whether you're a student needing help with coursework or a professional looking to enhance your skills, I offer tailored guidance in areas such as algorithms, software design, and game development. My teaching approach is centered on understanding each student’s unique needs and challenges to provide effective and personalized learning.

Approved Subjects

C++

C++

I first worked with C++ in high school in 1998, and have worked with C++ and C++ based languages ever since. I have a solid understanding both of interpreting the code itself, as well as what's going on under the hood. I have a strong background in problem solving and logic, and am versed in working with small complex code blocks as well as large comprehensive programs.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I first began programming in high school in 1995, and have worked with nearly a dozen languages since then. I am knowledgeable about algorithms and logic, and have strong ability in code tracing and debugging. I believe my greatest strength lies in problem solving and logic, and I'm often able to identify logic errors without needing to read all of the code. I have 17 years of experience as a software developer.
Data Science

Data Science

I have 5+ years of experience in data analysis, modeling, and visualization. I've worked with various industries, including finance and healthcare, and government, and have expertise in Python libraries such as pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and Matplotlib. I'm also proficient in SQL. Additionally, I have experience teaching data science concepts to beginners.

Easy to Understand and Super Knowledgeable! Great Session!

Andre is incredibly easy to communicate with. He's patient, listens carefully, and his responses are thorough and easy to understand. In only an hour I understood concepts I've been struggling with all week, and we got everything done that I needed to get done. Great investment, he'll definitely be hearing from me again in the future!

Knowledgeable and great problem solver

I reached out to Andre for a homework assignment I was stuck on. I liked how patient he was and took time to explain key concepts. I will definitely book another session with him.

Excellent tutor

Andre did a fantastic job helping my daughter with AP Computer Science. She struggles with being tutored, but he he fun, relaxed, and explained everything to her perfectly. Fantastic.

Great instructor

All around great tutor, doesn’t let any information through the cracks. Very patient with clear explanations. I highly recommend and will be booking again.

Julie, 12 lessons with Andre

Composed, disciplined tutor with an informative, conceptual approach to learning.

It seemed like a slow burn at first, but Andre's approach is conveying a clear understanding of the essence of programs, understanding the objectives, and then breaking the processes down into fundamental steps and demonstrating how the coding language structure can best be utilized to outline those steps. He listens well, and applies an appropriate amount of context relevant to the subject matter in question without straying from the essence of the problem or going off on tangents. He is also open to learning new concepts and skills himself during the tutoring process, giving the impression of working alongside you for mutual benefit.

Knowledgeable tutor collaborates with my knowledge and experience to fulfill my expectations and needs.

Andre was great to work with. He listened to my my needs for programming, and in addition to teaching me some basics we collaborated to make the program I needed to create the hotkeys and SuperMacro button I wanted on my Elgato Stream Deck. I will be making another appointment for further help with his expertise to create more SuperMacro buttons.
