...in Mathematics, and have been traveling around the country, mostly on bicycle, for the year since then. I'm interested in sharing introductory coding and math skills with people in communities that wouldn't necessarily get them in the education system, especially as tools to further activist work. To this end I want to get some practice one-on-one teaching these subjects! I'm also interested in tutoring test prep and essay writing to people in high school, after...

My philosophy is that there are always a couple of simple, crucial keys to success in any subject, and I'm looking to pass what I've learned over the years to students. I'm into politics (I'm a former government major), sports (especially...

I'm currently a computer science student at Swarthmore College. While I'm pursuing a technical degree I have diverse interests and I believe that my liberal arts background help me connect and communicate effectively as a tutor. I want to help you or your child understand the core concepts of any field instead of rattling off formulas and techniques for specific questions. To me, the mentor/mentee relationship is one of the most important human relationships --I...

...style is adaptive. Being a student myself, I know that each student learns differently and has different needs. My goal when teaching is not just to help you pass a quiz, exam, or course; it is to arm you with the necessary knowledge and understanding to enable you to succeed in the future. If one approach does not succeed, I am prepared to come at the problem from a different direction. Real-world problems often require...

...are mathematics and computer science, but I'm not into those lame equations you have to memorize. I love the applied stuff, where you get to use the equations you learn in projects you enjoy (the memorization comes naturally that way). That's why I believe programming and mathematics go hand in hand. You learn some math, and then make a program applying the principles, e.g. using partial differential equations to simulate traffic patterns.

Ruby Tutoring FAQ
Ruby is an object-oriented programming language used primarily for the purposes of web development. The language has a popular framework called Rails, and developers often refer to projects as being built in "Ruby on Rails." Ruby draws a lot of comparisons with PHP, but there are significant differences between these two dominant web development languages. Web developers often debate the merits of Ruby versus PHP, but both are exceptional tools for building robust web applications. If you're interested in learning how to program in Ruby, it may make sense to work alongside someone who has experience developing applications using the language. Varsity Tutors can set you up with an experienced Ruby tutor who can explain the nuances of the language and help you build your web development skills.
Here are some of the topics you are likely to explore during Ruby tutoring sessions:
Installing Ruby and setting up your environment and server
Working with variables
Arrays, loops, and strings
Classes, methods, and singletons
The Rails framework
Mixins
Logging and debugging
The benefits of Ruby tutoring are numerous. If you're coming from another language such as PHP or Java, the concept of including other classes in your work may not be new to you, but working with Mixins can be a little bit different. A tutor can show you the ropes on this powerful method for reusing code and adding functionality quickly to your project. If you are new to web development, a tutor can dedicate time to setting up your programming environment and configuring your server before you dig into the details of coding in Ruby. Working with a Ruby tutor can really be what you make of it.
A tutor can also help you learn Ruby by assessing your current skills and figuring out where you need more help. Likewise, the tutor can figure out how you learn most effectively, whether you respond best to pair programming on small projects with your tutor or by having them do a code review after you work on something yourself. Tutors can also provide resources, websites, videos, and other tools to help you learn in the most effective way possible.
