Python & Data Science Tutor | Coursework, Projects & Career Switchers

Adam S.

Hello, I am Adam, a Python developer and tutor with over four years of professional experience building software. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and I continue to work as a software engineer alongside my tutoring. That dual role keeps my teaching grounded in current industry practice rather than dated theory.

On Wyzant, I have worked with students across Python, Java, Data Science, and Data Analysis. They range from middle schoolers learning their first programming concepts, to college undergraduates working through computer science and statistics coursework, to working professionals moving into data analyst and data science roles. A recent student preparing for her MAT 301 statistics final scored 100 out of 100 on her project after we worked through the dataset and the rubric together. Outcomes of that kind are what I structure my lessons around.

My teaching style is calm, patient, and project driven. I share my screen during every lesson, I write code alongside my students rather than dictating from a slide, and I explain the reasoning behind each concept before introducing the syntax. When a student is working on coursework, I prepare by reviewing the specific assignment and the conventions their instructor expects. When a student is learning for career or personal reasons, I build a multi-week plan around a realistic project, whether that is automating a workflow, building a small web application with Django or FastAPI, exploring a dataset in a Jupyter notebook, or preparing for a Python interview. The plan adapts as the student progresses.

After each lesson, I send a short-written recap covering what we worked on, and what to review before the next session, so that learning continues between meetings. I welcome students at every level. Book a lesson, bring whatever you are currently working on, and we will map out a path forward together.
