I am a life-long Chicagoan who earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science at UIC. I have 15 years of professional experience as a Software Engineer, and a true passion for teaching. I specialize in tutoring core Java, Java Spring, C#, .NET, Python, Linux, and HTML.
My tutoring career began as an undergraduate, when I helped students at Harper College and UIC with introductory programming classes. Over time, my repertoire expanded to include HS and undergraduate level mathematics and a wide range of programming languages and frameworks.
I am easygoing, organized, focused and goal oriented. I enjoy helping my students succeed and exceed their expectations in courses they previously struggled with. Breaking down complex concepts and making them easier to understand is what I pride myself on as a tutor. I also like to keep sessions fun!
I enjoy spending my free time developing mobile apps, listening to NPR, going to concerts, watching SNL, and hanging out with my wife and kids.
