About Squall


Bio

I've played with various coding languages, as a hobby for over twenty years. And in 2017 worked as a code instructor at an afterschool program in NY for the 7-14 age group. There I taught things like modding and programming video games, programming virtual bots and coding hardware interfaces. Before that, I worked in tech support for several years, so I have a lot of experience with communicating technical ideas in a digestible way. And I now have a certification in Full-stack software...

I've played with various coding languages, as a hobby for over twenty years. And in 2017 worked as a code instructor at an afterschool program in NY for the 7-14 age group. There I taught things like modding and programming video games, programming virtual bots and coding hardware interfaces. Before that, I worked in tech support for several years, so I have a lot of experience with communicating technical ideas in a digestible way. And I now have a certification in Full-stack software development from Hack Reactor, which focused on Node.js full-stack applications using: HTML, CSS, Javascript, Node/Express.js, jQuery, React, Axios, MySQL, MongoDB, Axios, and API integration.

On Wyzant, I've mostly done project-specific sessions. My approach is to try to find a balance between specific/practical solutions, and going through the steps of a proper trouble shooting protocol. My ultimate goal is to make myself obsolete as a tutor. If I can help you become comfortable with the concepts and self-sufficient in your learning, then I feel I've done my job. As those are really the job-ready skills a developer needs.

In terms of subject matter, I stick to my core competencies: HTML, CSS, Javascript, and React. Which is front-end focused, but I can absolutely help with (node based) back-end development. And as I get requests for many other languages I'd like to say: yes, the languages generally use the same logic, so I could figure it out easily enough. But as a tutor I believe that it would be a disservice for me to try and make those translations on the fly, as it will not be an efficient use of your time, which you are paying for. Ergo, I would not be willing to hold lessons for coding languages other than Javascript. Though I welcome questions any time, if there might be something I can help demystify, even if it's not in a language I would formally teach. I hope you're doing awesome, I wish you all the best on your journey and if I can do anything to help let me know!

Very knowledgeable and dedicated

I learned a lot from my session and he helped me understand the flow of the back end better while sticking with me to figure out where my errors were. Walked me through pieces I was having trouble with.

Brittany, 5 lessons with Squall

Quall is an excellent tutor

He did a great job explaining how javascript works. I was perplexed until I met with him and now I have confidence. He took the time to walk through the code with me and I didn't feel rushed.

Allan, 4 lessons with Squall

Knowledgeable and patient

He was very helpful and patient when tutoring. He also gave us as parents helpful feedback which most tutors do not. This shows a person who will go above and beyond to help your child.

Aderonke, 12 lessons with Squall

Expert in JS

Squall is an excellent tutor that allowed to understand the process of implementing the required dynamic in the exercises that I have to submit. Squall showed me first how to solve the problems and then asked to complete the exercise step by step.

Knowledgeable and personable

Squall helped me identify the next step to begin working on in my app and helped me to identify the issue. He was able to get me to articulate what I was having trouble with and gave me the confidence I needed to keep going.
