NOTE: This listing is for Java rather than JavaScript. Despite the similar name, the two languages are very different. If you need JavaScript tutoring and are having a hard time finding another tutor, please reach out to me. I have used it professionally, though it is not a language I have taught before and is not my expertise, but I may be able to help. I also have half-hour sessions in a different listing if you prefer the shorter time slot! During a one hour (55-minute) tutoring session, we will cover certain topics or materials requested by the student. Students and parents will lead in defining the goals for the session. The requested topic or material should be provided 24 hours ahead of time, when possible, to allow me to plan an appropriate lecture or activity and come prepared to help! When not available ahead of time, I will do my best to gather context quickly and jump into tutoring as best I can with the information available. I can help with test review, projects, homework, covering material missed on a day out, and more! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions. I am happy to take one-time students as well as recurring tutoring sessions. The following are some topics I can teach on: -Types and Identifiers, Operators -Input/Output, Control Structure, Errors and Exceptions -Objects and Classes -Public, Private, and Static keywords -Methods, Scope, and References -Inheritance and Polymorphism -Type Compatibility -Abstract Classes and Interfaces -Arrays, ArrayLists, and 2D Arrays -Sorting and Searching
Learning Goals
I am committed to making sure students understand the material, teaching students how to learn and discover, and helping them succeed on their own by guiding them toward solutions rather than giving them answers without ensuring they understand the material.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will be referring to the Java API Specification from Oracle to look at official language documentation to see what methods are available to us, what they do, and how they can be used.
We will use the Online-Java complier to write and run Java code without having to download anything to the student's computer. It does not require an account.
We may use W3 Resource for practice problems. It does not require an account.
Supply List
If covering an assignment or school-provided materials, student should have those on hand and shared with me 24 hours prior to our session, when possible.
