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

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
Students learning Computer Science in French face a unique dual challenge: mastering technical concepts while simultaneously developing French language proficiency. Many programming languages use English keywords and conventions, so students must translate between English syntax and French technical terminology—terms like "classe" (class), "boucle" (loop), and "variable" that don't always map intuitively. Additionally, French Computer Science resources, documentation, and community forums are less abundant than English equivalents, making independent learning harder. A tutor experienced in both Computer Science and French instruction can bridge these gaps by explaining concepts in clear French while helping students navigate the English-dominant tech world.
Technical vocabulary is foundational—without precise French terms for programming concepts, students struggle to understand assignments, read documentation, and communicate about code. A skilled tutor builds vocabulary systematically by introducing terms in context (e.g., explaining "la structure de données" while working through actual data structure problems) rather than through isolated lists. The tutor also helps students recognize when English terms are used in French contexts and when direct translations exist. Consistent exposure to terminology through practical coding exercises ensures retention far better than memorization alone.
Reading comprehension in Computer Science French requires understanding both the code itself and the French explanations surrounding it. A tutor breaks down dense technical passages by identifying key concepts, explaining unfamiliar grammar structures that appear in formal documentation, and connecting French descriptions to actual code examples. For instance, when a student encounters a complex explanation of recursion in French, the tutor can parse the grammar, clarify technical terms, and then work through recursive code examples together. This approach transforms confusing text into actionable understanding and builds confidence with authentic materials.
Speaking practice is critical because Computer Science professionals must discuss algorithms, debug code, and explain solutions verbally—skills that classroom instruction rarely develops. In 1-on-1 tutoring, students practice articulating programming concepts in French: explaining how a loop works, describing a bug they've encountered, or presenting a coding solution. This builds both fluency and technical communication skills simultaneously. A tutor can correct both language errors and imprecise technical explanations in real time, helping students develop the confidence to participate in French-language tech communities, internships, or international collaborative projects.
Debugging and problem-solving require students to think critically while working in French—a challenging combination. A tutor guides students through the debugging process by asking clarifying questions in French ("Quel est le message d'erreur?" / "What is the error message?"), helping them articulate what the code should do versus what it's actually doing, and systematically isolating issues. By working through problems together in French, students develop both stronger debugging habits and the language skills to seek help independently. This approach also builds metacognitive awareness—students learn to think about their thinking while expressing it in French.
Understanding French perspectives on Computer Science enriches technical learning and motivates students. A tutor can introduce students to French-language tech communities, notable French Computer Scientists and their contributions, and how France approaches technology education and innovation. Learning about concepts through French resources—whether articles from French tech publications or documentation from French software projects—provides cultural context and exposes students to authentic language use in professional settings. This immersion approach makes learning feel relevant beyond the classroom and builds appreciation for French contributions to technology.
An effective Computer Science French tutor needs expertise in both domains: strong programming skills across multiple languages, deep understanding of Computer Science concepts, and advanced French proficiency (ideally native or near-native fluency). The tutor should be able to explain technical concepts clearly in French, recognize common misconceptions students have when bridging English programming syntax and French terminology, and adapt explanations based on a student's language level. Experience teaching Computer Science to French learners or working in bilingual tech environments is valuable, as it demonstrates understanding of the specific challenges this combination presents.
Tutoring must be calibrated to both language and technical proficiency. A student fluent in French but new to programming needs tutors who explain CS concepts clearly without overcomplicating French explanations. Conversely, a student with strong programming skills but intermediate French benefits from a tutor who accelerates technical learning while building French vocabulary and confidence. Advanced students might focus on specialized topics (machine learning, cybersecurity) while refining professional French communication. A skilled tutor assesses both dimensions independently and creates a personalized learning path that challenges the student appropriately in each area without overwhelming them.
