Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

I am a published author who has enjoyed “coaching” our daughter, as she navigated through high school, college and graduate school. I mentor college juniors who are seeking careers in financial services, and I serve as a peer resource to professionals who are transitioning from private industry to the nonprofit sector. Hobbies: reading, cooking, writing, books, music, art, travel
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Debugging is one of the most valuable skills in computer science, and many 11th graders struggle with systematic approaches to finding errors. A tutor can teach you how to read error messages carefully, use debugging tools like breakpoints and print statements strategically, and think through your code's logic step-by-step rather than guessing at fixes. They'll also help you develop the habit of testing small sections of code as you write, which prevents bugs from compounding and makes them easier to isolate.
Syntax is the grammar of a programming language—how to write valid code—while algorithmic thinking is about solving problems logically and efficiently. Many 11th graders can write syntactically correct code but struggle to design algorithms that actually solve complex problems. A tutor focuses on both: helping you understand *why* certain approaches work (like sorting algorithms, recursion, or dynamic programming) and *how* to apply them, not just memorizing syntax rules.
Choosing the right data structure—arrays, linked lists, hash tables, trees, graphs—depends on what operations you need to perform and how efficiently you need to perform them. This is a conceptual challenge for many 11th graders because it requires understanding both the structure itself and the trade-offs between them. A tutor can walk you through real project scenarios, help you analyze the time and space complexity of different choices, and guide you in selecting structures that make your code cleaner and faster.
Rather than just solving isolated coding problems, project-based tutoring lets you build something meaningful—a game, web app, or data analysis tool—while learning. A tutor can help you break down a large project into manageable pieces, guide you through design decisions, review your code for best practices, and help you troubleshoot when you hit roadblocks. This approach reinforces how different concepts (loops, functions, object-oriented design) work together in real applications, not just in textbook exercises.
11th grade is a great time to explore different specializations, and a tutor can help you understand what each path involves. Web development focuses on front-end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and back-end languages; game development uses engines like Unity or Unreal with C# or C++; data science emphasizes Python, statistics, and working with datasets. A tutor can guide you through small projects in different areas to help you discover what excites you most, then tailor your learning accordingly.
Code review—having someone examine your code for clarity, efficiency, and correctness—is how professional developers improve and catch mistakes early. Many 11th graders code in isolation and miss opportunities to learn better practices. A tutor acts as your code reviewer, pointing out where your logic could be clearer, where you're repeating code unnecessarily, or where performance could be improved. This feedback loop accelerates your growth far beyond what you'd learn from just running your code and checking if it works.
Error messages can be cryptic—stack traces, null pointer exceptions, index out of bounds—and understanding them is crucial to becoming independent. Many 11th graders see an error and panic rather than reading it carefully. A tutor teaches you to decode error messages, understand what they mean about your code's execution, and use that information to find the root cause. Over time, you'll recognize common error patterns and know exactly where to look, turning errors from frustrating obstacles into valuable debugging clues.
Object-oriented programming (OOP)—classes, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation—is a major shift in thinking for many 11th graders transitioning from procedural code. These concepts are abstract and easy to misunderstand from lectures alone. A tutor can use concrete examples and hands-on projects to show you how OOP makes code more organized and reusable, help you design your own classes and hierarchies, and guide you through common mistakes like poor encapsulation or unnecessary inheritance. This foundation is essential for more advanced computer science work.
