Class Experience

The learner can ask questions about topics that I can help during the class and I will help the learner answer the questions (as best as I can within the class time limits).

Topics that I can help the learner with are:

   (1) Programming in Java, C, C++,Python and SQL
   (2) AP Computer Science A and AP Computer Science Principles
   (3) Database Systems (SQL)
   (4) Data Structures (e.g., linked list, binary search tree, hashing...)
   (5) Algorithms (e.g., searching, sorting, recursion, dynamic programming, etc.)
   (6) Digital circuits and Computer Architecture.

Topics that I CANNOT help are:

     (1) C#
     (2) Unity
     (3) Minecraft
     (4) Scratch
     (5) Roblox
     (6) Robotics
     (7) Play video games

My teaching style is "explain things as easy as possible" and some of the teaching techniques I use include: (1) breaking down a complex topic into smaller units and explain each unit independently, (2) using a familiar concept to explain new computer science concepts (e.g., do you know that computer memory is similar to mail boxes ?) and (3) using my own brand of unusual analogies to illustrate new concepts. When appropriate, I will also explain any prerequisite knowledge necessary that you need to understand  the topic.
