Python and cloud tutor with real-world engineering experience.

Jeff G.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Oklahoma Christian University, where I graduated with a 3.87 GPA. My academic background gave me a strong foundation in programming, algorithms, and problem solving, with a focus on languages like Python, C++, and SQL.

Professionally, I’ve spent the past eight years working as a software engineer, currently serving as an Engineering Team Lead where I design and build cloud based systems on AWS. My day-to-day work involves breaking down complex technical problems, mentoring other engineers, and helping others grow their technical skills.

My teaching experience began in college, where I worked as a Programming Lab Teaching Assistant and tutored over 75 students in C++ and core computer science concepts. In that role, I led lab sessions, worked one-on-one with students, and adapted my explanations to fit different learning styles and skill levels. Since then, I’ve continued mentoring in a professional setting, leading a team of engineers and managing an intern program where I’ve helped dozens of early-career developers build confidence and practical skills in programming.

As a tutor, I focus on making complex topics approachable and practical. I aim to meet students where they are, whether they’re just starting out or looking to deepen their understanding, and I emphasize hands on learning and real world examples. I’ve worked with learners ranging from beginners to more advanced students, and I enjoy helping people not just solve problems, but understand the “why” behind them so they can apply those skills independently.
