Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Debugging is one of the most valuable skills in computer science, and many 11th graders struggle with systematic approaches to finding errors. A tutor can teach you how to read error messages carefully, use debugging tools like breakpoints and print statements strategically, and think through your code's logic step-by-step rather than guessing at fixes. They'll also help you develop the habit of testing small sections of code as you write, which prevents bugs from compounding and makes them easier to isolate.
Syntax is the grammar of a programming language—how to write valid code—while algorithmic thinking is about solving problems logically and efficiently. Many 11th graders can write syntactically correct code but struggle to design algorithms that actually solve complex problems. A tutor focuses on both: helping you understand *why* certain approaches work (like sorting algorithms, recursion, or dynamic programming) and *how* to apply them, not just memorizing syntax rules.
Choosing the right data structure—arrays, linked lists, hash tables, trees, graphs—depends on what operations you need to perform and how efficiently you need to perform them. This is a conceptual challenge for many 11th graders because it requires understanding both the structure itself and the trade-offs between them. A tutor can walk you through real project scenarios, help you analyze the time and space complexity of different choices, and guide you in selecting structures that make your code cleaner and faster.
Rather than just solving isolated coding problems, project-based tutoring lets you build something meaningful—a game, web app, or data analysis tool—while learning. A tutor can help you break down a large project into manageable pieces, guide you through design decisions, review your code for best practices, and help you troubleshoot when you hit roadblocks. This approach reinforces how different concepts (loops, functions, object-oriented design) work together in real applications, not just in textbook exercises.
11th grade is a great time to explore different specializations, and a tutor can help you understand what each path involves. Web development focuses on front-end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and back-end languages; game development uses engines like Unity or Unreal with C# or C++; data science emphasizes Python, statistics, and working with datasets. A tutor can guide you through small projects in different areas to help you discover what excites you most, then tailor your learning accordingly.
Code review—having someone examine your code for clarity, efficiency, and correctness—is how professional developers improve and catch mistakes early. Many 11th graders code in isolation and miss opportunities to learn better practices. A tutor acts as your code reviewer, pointing out where your logic could be clearer, where you're repeating code unnecessarily, or where performance could be improved. This feedback loop accelerates your growth far beyond what you'd learn from just running your code and checking if it works.
Error messages can be cryptic—stack traces, null pointer exceptions, index out of bounds—and understanding them is crucial to becoming independent. Many 11th graders see an error and panic rather than reading it carefully. A tutor teaches you to decode error messages, understand what they mean about your code's execution, and use that information to find the root cause. Over time, you'll recognize common error patterns and know exactly where to look, turning errors from frustrating obstacles into valuable debugging clues.
Object-oriented programming (OOP)—classes, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation—is a major shift in thinking for many 11th graders transitioning from procedural code. These concepts are abstract and easy to misunderstand from lectures alone. A tutor can use concrete examples and hands-on projects to show you how OOP makes code more organized and reusable, help you design your own classes and hierarchies, and guide you through common mistakes like poor encapsulation or unnecessary inheritance. This foundation is essential for more advanced computer science work.
