June
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +59 Subjects
I'm an electrical engineering major at Brown University with interests in neuroscience, linguistics, and robotics, among other things. I've always loved learning, and my curiosity has led me through numerous subject areas. I constantly seek to apply my classroom learning in practical situations. For example, I have conducted research on dementia using electrophysiology in a mollusk model. I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer. My engineering pursuits require a strong foundation in mathematics, my interest in the life sciences calls for a myriad of memorization techniques, and my participation in the academic world at large reminds me daily of the importance of sharp writing skills. I hope to share some of these things, both content and technique, with my students. Though I will make sure that they can come away from each session armed with the skills needed to take on the modern education system, I also hope that they will take with them some appreciation for learning itself.
Kashish
College Algebra Tutor • +59 Subjects
I am a student at Brown University pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering. In high school, I took a multitude of AP and college courses, so I am qualified to work with students on challenging material. I took high-level mathematics courses at a local university while in high school and participated in gifted programs as well as internship and research opportunities. My most recent tutoring endeavors include: tutoring math and reading for a variety of grades from K-12 and working for a private tutoring company as an SAT instructor, leading test-prep classes for high school students. I continue to pursue my educational and personal goals while at Brown. Although I am most experienced in the maths and sciences, I also love teaching English subjects as well as social sciences. I also value community involvement and have a love for the arts. I have danced for more than 15 years, on company teams and for benefit events in several communities. I also really enjoying figure skating, swimming, and participating in robotics programs and other enrichment activities. I have a passion for learning about and tutoring the maths and sciences because I have always been curious about the world around us, and science is a process of searching for fundamental and universal principles that govern causes and effects in the universe. I enjoy tutoring students for the opportunity to aid them in their quest for knowledge and to help them to question the world around them. I am a strong proponent of education and am excited to guide other students, helping them achieve their educational goals!
Brice
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +47 Subjects
I am an undergraduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I have tutored students since my early high school years. I've had experience instructing and guiding a variety of students, from young middle schoolers taking their first steps into the world of computer programming to my own peers struggling with their calculus exams. Over the past year alone, I've worked with over 30 students, spending several hours each day to help them stay up to speed on their schoolwork. I specialize in many areas of math as well as computer science, biology and physics. When tutoring students, I draw on my own experience with learning the material to identify and address the obstacles they face. I believe that promoting a deeper level of understanding of the subject, as opposed to merely teaching to the test or problem set, will enable students to excel in the long-term. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books

I am currently a freshman at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in computer science. In the future I plan on either working on cybersecurity or game design. While studying at Washington University, I am also on the football team and help watch over the weight room in the athletic complex. I am originally from Minnesota, and I have spent years working with kids ranging from 5th grade all the way up to high school. Whether it be tutoring or coaching, I find it so rewarding to see how much progress that anyone can make through the course of working hard and having fun doing it. When I tutor, I believe that being engaged is vital to learning. I am passionate about math and science, and love tutoring anyone in algebra and computer science. I enjoy solving logical puzzles, and I treat algebra the same way. I firmly believe that anyone can learn math and science, and have fun doing it. When I am not tutoring or studying, I enjoy football and lacrosse, as well as following all Minnesota teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Debugging is a skill that improves dramatically with guided practice and feedback. Tutors help you develop a systematic approach to reading error messages, isolating problems, and testing solutions—rather than just guessing fixes. Through hands-on code review, you'll learn to think like a debugger: understanding stack traces, using print statements strategically, and recognizing common patterns that cause errors.
This personalized approach accelerates your debugging confidence far more than working through errors alone, especially when a tutor can point out your thinking patterns and help you build better problem-solving habits.
Syntax is the grammar of a programming language—the specific rules for how to write valid code. Logic is how you structure your thinking to solve problems. You need both, but logic is more fundamental: you can look up syntax, but you can't Google your way through algorithmic thinking.
The best learning path combines them: learn syntax well enough to express your ideas, then spend most of your effort on logic through problem-solving, design patterns, and hands-on projects. Tutors help you prioritize this balance and prevent syntax confusion from derailing your understanding of core concepts like loops, conditionals, and functions.
Data structures make sense when you see them solving real problems. Rather than memorizing definitions, effective learning connects structures to use cases: arrays for indexed access, linked lists for insertion flexibility, hash tables for fast lookups, trees for hierarchical data. Tutors help you build this intuition by working through concrete examples and having you implement structures yourself.
The real learning happens when you code these structures from scratch, test them with different data, and then use them in actual projects. This hands-on practice transforms abstract concepts into tools you instinctively reach for when solving problems.
Algorithm design improves through practice with guided feedback. Start with small problems, write multiple solutions, and analyze their efficiency. Big O notation makes more sense when you actually code algorithms and see how they perform with different input sizes. Tutors help you trace through your logic, compare different approaches, and understand why one algorithm scales better than another.
The key is moving beyond memorizing classic algorithms to developing intuition about tradeoffs: when to optimize for speed vs. memory, when a simple solution is good enough, and how to think through a problem methodically rather than jumping to code.
Project-based learning is one of the most effective ways to develop real programming skills, and tutors amplify that approach. They help you scope projects appropriately, break them into manageable pieces, review your code for quality and best practices, and troubleshoot when you get stuck. Rather than just telling you the answer, tutors guide you through decision-making: why you might choose one design over another, how to refactor messy code, and how to think about edge cases.
This mentorship transforms projects from isolated exercises into deliberate practice that builds professional-level coding habits and problem-solving skills.
These paths share core computer science fundamentals—programming logic, data structures, algorithms—but diverge in their specialized tools and applications. Web dev emphasizes user interfaces and server-side systems; data science focuses on statistics and working with large datasets; game dev combines graphics, physics, and performance optimization. Your choice often depends on what problems interest you and what you enjoy building.
Tutors can help you explore different areas through small projects, clarify what each path actually involves, and guide you toward specialization that matches your strengths and interests. Many students benefit from solidifying fundamentals across multiple areas before committing to deep specialization.
Working code and good code are different things. Good code is readable, maintainable, efficient, and follows conventions in your language and field. Tutors provide the code review and feedback that's hard to get on your own: they point out when code is overcomplicated, when you're repeating patterns, how to name variables clearly, and when to refactor. You'll learn industry-standard practices like consistent formatting, meaningful variable names, helpful comments, and modular design.
This exposure to professional standards, repeated over time with real projects, trains your eye to recognize good code instinctively and builds habits that separate competent programmers from excellent ones.
