Georgia Tech MS in CS with AI Specialization|Fun, Patient Coding Tutor

Freddie J.

I’m a software engineer with over 15 years of real-world industry experience and a graduate-level education in computer science through Georgia Tech’s College of Computing Master of Science in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence.

My professional background includes designing, building, and maintaining software systems across a variety of domains, which allows me to tutor computer science and programming topics from both an academic and practical perspective. I’m comfortable helping students with subjects such as introductory computer science, programming fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, software design, and related coursework.

In addition to my professional experience, I have extensive experience explaining complex technical concepts in clear, approachable ways. Throughout my career, I’ve mentored junior developers, collaborated closely with cross-functional teams, and supported learners with a wide range of skill levels. My tutoring approach is patient and structured, focusing on breaking problems down step by step and making sure students understand the “why” behind each concept, not just the final answer. I adapt my teaching style based on the student’s goals, whether that means reinforcing foundational concepts, preparing for exams, or working through assignments and projects.

I’ve worked primarily in one-on-one settings with students ranging from high school through college and adult learners returning to technical subjects. I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes as part of the learning process. My goal is not only to help students succeed in their current course, but also to build confidence and problem-solving skills they can carry forward into future classes and real-world applications.
