Hi, I’m Edgar McGough, based in Pennsylvania. I hold a PhD in Control Systems with deep expertise in Data Analysis and Computer Programming, specializing in SQL and database management systems. Since October 2023, I’ve been tutoring full-time in database systems, helping students master SQL, database design, and data-driven problem solving.

With 8+ years in the Semiconductor industry and 3.5 years in Healthcare, I bring real-world insights into how databases power complex technical and business systems. I have extensive experience mentoring and training professionals, sharpening my ability to explain technical concepts clearly.

I tailor lessons for all levels—from beginners building SQL foundations to advanced learners working on complex queries and database architecture. My focus is on enhancing problem-solving and critical thinking skills to ensure deep, lasting understanding.

I teach with popular tools including MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server Management Studio, covering schema design, query optimization, indexing, normalization, and aggregate functions. Whether preparing for exams, interviews, or projects, I’m here to support your learning journey and make databases engaging.

In addition to my database expertise, I have strong programming skills in Python, C++, Java, JavaScript, Perl, and HTML, allowing me to assist students with coding assignments that complement their database studies.

Students consistently praise my ability to explain complex SQL concepts clearly and patiently. One learner said, 'Edgar’s knowledge, kindness, patience, and sense of humor make learning much more enjoyable.' Another noted, “He genuinely cares about your progress and makes sure you truly understand before moving on.” Many appreciate how I help build confidence and practical skills, ensuring success beyond the classroom.

I am a positive, patient, and adaptable tutor committed to personalized lessons that meet your unique goals. Let’s work together to unlock your success in SQL and database management!
