About Scott


Bio

I'm Scott, a tutor who helps students learn to code in Java, C++, and Python. For college students, I focus on tutoring the CS 1 (intro to programming) course and CS 2 (data structures with programming) course. For high school students, I focus on tutoring the AP Computer Science A course. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Management Info Systems (MIS) with a minor in Computer Science.

I'm Scott, a tutor who helps students learn to code in Java, C++, and Python. For college students, I focus on tutoring the CS 1 (intro to programming) course and CS 2 (data structures with programming) course. For high school students, I focus on tutoring the AP Computer Science A course. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Management Info Systems (MIS) with a minor in Computer Science.

My tutoring approach is to help students become better problem solvers. Coding requires much more problem solving than memorization. To start, I help students figure out where to begin when solving a programming problem. I help them break down the problem into manageable pieces and create a plan to code a solution.

About my experience: During my college years, I worked in summer camps teaching programming courses in BASIC, Pascal, C, Java, and Scheme. One of these courses was a rigorous course for gifted students. My corporate experience (over 15 years) gives me a unique perspective on the understanding of and teaching of programming. I have worked in technical roles including Software Development, Customer Support Engineering, and Technical Writing.

I look forward to helping you succeed with coding!

Exceptional C++ Tutor – A Game-Changer for My Programming Journey!

I had the pleasure of being tutored by Scott in C++ programming, and I cannot express enough how transformative this experience has been for my understanding of the language. As a computer science student, I was struggling with grasping the intricacies of C++, but Scott proved to be the game-changer I needed. Scott possesses an in-depth knowledge of C++, and it's evident from the way they effortlessly break down complex concepts into digestible bits. Their teaching style is both methodical and hands-on, allowing me to not only comprehend the theory but also apply it in practical scenarios. This approach made a significant difference in my ability to write clean and efficient code. What truly sets Scott apart is his patience and dedication to ensuring that I understood each topic and his personalized attention was instrumental in overcoming the challenges I faced in mastering certain C++ concepts. Furthermore, Scott was incredibly flexible with his schedule, accommodating my needs and adjusting the pace of the sessions to match my learning curve. I highly recommend!
