I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

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

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

The most in-demand languages depend on your target platform. For iOS apps, you'll want to learn Swift, Apple's modern programming language. For Android development, Java and Kotlin are the primary choices, with Kotlin becoming increasingly popular due to its concise syntax. Many developers also learn cross-platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter, which allow you to build apps for both iOS and Android using a single codebase. A tutor can help you choose the right language based on your goals and then guide you through the fundamentals before moving to framework-specific development.

Building foundational skills in a programming language usually takes 2-3 months of consistent practice. However, becoming proficient enough to build functional apps typically requires 6-12 months of dedicated learning, depending on your starting point and how much time you dedicate to practice. The journey accelerates with personalized instruction, since a tutor can identify gaps in your understanding immediately and provide targeted explanations rather than having you struggle through confusing concepts alone. Advanced skills like app architecture, API integration, and performance optimization develop over additional months of real-world project experience.

In a classroom setting, instruction moves at an average pace that may leave some students behind on complex topics like asynchronous programming or API design patterns. Personalized tutoring lets you focus on exactly what you need—whether that's spending extra time on concepts that challenge you or accelerating through material you grasp quickly. A tutor can also provide real-time feedback on your code, explain why your app isn't working as expected, and show you professional best practices specific to your project. This targeted approach typically helps students build confidence faster and start creating functional apps sooner.

The best tutors combine current industry experience with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly. Look for someone who has shipped real apps and can discuss real-world challenges like debugging, testing, and managing app performance. They should be comfortable with the specific language or framework you're learning and able to review your actual code, not just teach theory. A great tutor also adapts to your learning style—whether you learn best by building projects, working through exercises, or asking lots of questions—and can help you understand not just how to write code, but why certain approaches are better than others.

New developers often struggle with asynchronous programming and understanding how mobile apps handle background tasks differently than desktop applications. Debugging can also be frustrating since errors sometimes occur only on specific devices or OS versions. Many beginners underestimate the importance of user interface design and usability testing, focusing too heavily on code and not enough on how users actually interact with their app. Common issues like managing app state, handling device permissions, and optimizing performance for older devices can also be confusing without guidance. A tutor can help you avoid these pitfalls by teaching best practices upfront and providing hands-on support when you encounter these challenges.

Yes, absolutely. While understanding fundamental programming concepts like variables, loops, and functions does help, many people successfully transition into mobile development from non-technical backgrounds or with minimal coding experience. The key is starting with foundational programming skills first—learning basic syntax and logic in a beginner-friendly language—before diving into mobile-specific frameworks. Personalized tutoring is especially valuable here, since a tutor can move at your pace, ensure you truly understand each building block before moving forward, and use examples relevant to app development to keep concepts concrete and motivating.

Start with simple projects that reinforce fundamental concepts: a to-do list app, a calculator, or a weather app that fetches data from an API. These teach you core skills like managing state, handling user input, and making network requests. As you progress, tackle more complex projects like a social media feed, a real-time chat app, or a game—these introduce challenges like managing complex data, authentication, and performance optimization. The best learning path combines guided projects with personal projects you're excited about. A tutor can suggest appropriate project ideas based on your current skill level, guide you through the trickier parts, and help you understand how to structure your code for a real-world application.
