I am an extremely calm and helpful person who strives to understand and convey the big picture of Math and Science. I strive to utilize math in computer programming, art, and music. I have tutored quite a diverse group of people in the past and believe I can communicate quite effectively with anyone.

I love using Math and Science in different projects I am working on. I am an independent programmer, musician, and digital artist. I love conveying complicated ideas to people in small manageable chunks and then seeing them realize the big picture of these ideas.

I usually first establish exactly where the student wants to get to by however many tutoring sessions we have. I then seek out a baseline knowledge of the subject matter through a few questions of my own. Then I try to formulate a plan based on how much time we have and where we need to get to. This plan involves hitting the major areas of the subject matter that I have learned from experience.

I often use various websites for referencing code and computer science ideas. The internet has a ton of information and not all of it is always good information. I try to familiarize my students with good reliable websites that are truthful and easy to understand. I also encourage the use of official APIs when it is necessary to look up syntax of code and how to use it. All the major languages like Java, C#, Python, and Javascript have their own APIs of how to use the language.
