Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors serving San Jose, CA

My entire educational background was spent in science and math classes, often it wasn't easy for me, so I understand what it's like to struggle with something and feel like you will never understand. But if you work the problems enough times and never quit you'll get through it. And asking for help is never a bad thing, no one has ever gotten through all of this without help.... Understanding what it is you're doing is...

I love teaching pretty much anything! I began tutoring English, math and science as a freshman in college, then added dance and aerial acrobatics to my repertoire. Now, I specialize in all things English, writing, reading, French and anatomy.

...know a student and observing how their mind works. I constantly ask questions to make sure their train of thought is correct as giving a direct shortcut to the right answer does not help them to deeply understand the material and prepare themselves for any type of problem. Every time I am told I have changed the way someone thinks and helped their understanding it is a personal victory for me. When I am not...

...help them reach their potential. I have worked at summer camps (ages 3 to 14), worked as a teacher's aid in elementary, worked in elementary classrooms in my college practicums, and worked as a college writing tutor. I am pursuing a degree in Elementary Education at Evangel University. English is my favorite subject because it is how we communicate and it integrates beautifully with all other content areas. You can find my subject areas in...

Collective knowledge is always greater than individual knowledge. Share Knowledge.

...Symbolic Systems and Theater double-major at Stanford University in Northern California, Milan is very excited to be a part of the Varsity Tutors team. His main academic interests are English, philosophy, math, and computer science, but Milan enjoys many other subjects (psychology, physics, and economics to name a few). He is fluent in Spanish and an active member of the Latino community. In his free time, he enjoys reading, writing, and taking the occasional photograph.

...interested in tutoring in 11th grade when I began assisting my peers. Since then, I've been tutoring a variety of computer science and math courses. I am confident tutoring computer science, physics, geometry, and any other high school math courses. During my undergraduate career, I spent time teaching physics to high school juniors and seniors. My goal is to see my students improve as a result of our tutoring. I am kind and outgoing and...

...outs of the calculus curriculum so I understand what concepts trip up students, and I have taught students under four different professors so I am familiar with adaptations to the core concepts. My wealth of exposure has even allowed me to create my own step-by-step generalized frameworks for solving certain problems. I love tutoring: I love that aha-moment when a student finally grasps a tough or abstract concept, and I love being part of that...

I have served as a tutor during middle school and high school for subjects ranging from math to history to English. I think that I'm a great tutor because I am knowledgeable in the subjects that I have listed above. I am also very patient when teaching others because I understand how difficult some concepts can be to grasp having struggled with them myself earlier in life. ... My teaching philosophy can best be described as...

...primary goal is to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I...

...experience across a wide range of technologies and languages, including NodeJS, MySQL, C, C++, and Objective C. Most of my experience in Computer Science comes from personal projects and my own curiosity. Learning new things is my favorite pastime, and I'd like to share that feeling with others as much as I can. When tutoring students, I work to give them a taste of the joy I experience when faced with new knowledge. Anyone can...

...As a chemical engineering student at Vanderbilt University, I have always been passionate about learning math and science. I have also particularly excelled in these fields, perhaps due to my passion, and I managed to score a 790 on the math SAT and SAT II. I also took 5 AP Exams as a high school student, receiving 5s in Calculus BS, statistics, computer science, biology, and chemistry. At my university, I received an honors scholarship...

...understand it properly. And perhaps I can convince you that the subject matter is something you like! It was a pleasure when my previous students acknowledged my influence in their honors theses or doctoral dissertations, and I hope that I can similarly help you in your learning process at whatever schooling level you are at. Please contact me to schedule a tutoring session in any of the subjects listed in my profile, and I look...

...confidence to overcome challenges while simultaneously lifting inhibitions in regard to tackling new problems. To facilitate such an experience within a classroom environment is especially possible in subjects like mathematics and the physical sciences, by facilitating a working knowledge of contemporary issues in the science through articulation of real-world examples and providing opportunity for hands-on problem solving through exercises. Scientists, leaders and instructors effectively teach when they simultaneously impart information and nurture an environment that...

I have a stats PhD and expertise tutoring or TAing stats and math for high school, college, graduate, and professional level. I'd also be comfortable tutoring for SAT, SAT math, and GRE in that order.

...went to Drexel University to write and defend my dissertation in mathematics, which was about two unsolved problems in linear algebra. While in Johns Hopkins and Drexel University, I ended up teaching a lot of math and a bit of science not only as a tutor, but also as a teaching assistant and as a primary instructor. Since then, I've been working as a mathematician; I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Free University...

...the Pennsylvania State University. I then received a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University doing all of my research work with Sandia National Laboratories. I achieved these goals by setting high expectations for myself and striving every day to meet these expectations. I am a tutor that predominantly focuses on STEM and Business subjects from high school through graduate school as well as standardized tests. I really do not have a favorite subject...

...hours, and as a GK-12 fellow I spent a semester teaching with a high school physics teacher in the classroom. Because my physics background entails studying a wide variety of math backgrounds I am qualified to tutor most subjects in both math and science. I most enjoy teaching calculus and physics because I find it beautiful how well they integrate with and play off of each other. Calculus is the language that describes physics, and...

...and AP tests; and topics in literature and history. My favorite subject to tutor is probably calculus because calculus really opens students' options for further exploration in math, science, economics, and pretty much every other STEM field. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that in order to give useful feedback to a student I need to observe and listen to them just as much they need to listen to me. Only then can I see...

...I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling the first time I...
