About Scott


Bio

When you learn to code, you develop your problem-solving skills, communicate your ideas through logic, gain independence, build confidence, and have fun!

I offer long-term tutoring designed to teach you coding from the ground-up. While we will work in the programming language that you want to learn-- choose from Python, C++, or Java-- the particular language will be less important than mastering the fundamentals that apply to all languages. Examples of these fundamentals are conditionals,...

I offer long-term tutoring designed to teach you coding from the ground-up. While we will work in the programming language that you want to learn-- choose from Python, C++, or Java-- the particular language will be less important than mastering the fundamentals that apply to all languages. Examples of these fundamentals are conditionals, loops, functions, and data structures.

Some topics we cover will overlap with what is taught in high school programming courses. However, I do not provide course-specific help, such as assistance with assignments or exam preparation. Students seeking that type of support should find another tutor.

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.

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!
