Class Experience
Tutoring is available for the following subject material:
- Web Development
- HTML/CSS
- Javascript
- React
- Programming
- Java
- Python
- C#
- Computer Science
- Algorithms
- Data Structures
- Object Oriented Programming
Tutoring is open to both absolute beginners, and to students currently learning via another source but would like extra help on certain topics or homework.
Because topics and student learning styles can vary wildly, I cannot describe a specific lesson plan here, but my general style involves an explanation of general concepts, the sharing of mnemonics and memorization tips, and lots and lots of practice and real world examples. Every student learns at their own pace, and I keep that in mind to make sure their learning experience is a fun one, not a stressful one!
Please message me in order to schedule a time and/or choose a topic in advance.
Half-hour and hour-long sessions are available, and you can request to meet up to twice a week.Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Maryfrances!
Thank you so much for considering me to be your (or your child's) instructor today!
I have been a tutor/instructor for five years now, and I am excited to share my knowledge and passions with students who are excited to learn.
I have a degree in Computer Science, which I have been studying for nearly a decade now. It is a unique, new, yet quickly-growing field that manages to combine math and science with the creativity of the Arts, and enables our societies to progress at speeds never before seen in all of human history. Knowing just a little bit of how computers work can get you very ahead in life. I'm here to teach Java and Python, two of the most widely used programming languages today, as well as useful skills such as Web Design to equip my students with the skills they need to go on to become brilliant Computer Scientists.
Not only do I speak the language of computers, but I can also communicate quite well with humans: years of studying Japanese and a minor degree in the subject has succeeded in bringing me to conversational fluency. Japanese is classified as one of the hardest languages for English speakers to learn, but I'm here to say that you can go from awkwardly saying "konnichiwa" to being able to read こんにちは and being able to understand the two meanings of 今日は with just a little hard work.
My teaching philosophy focuses on understanding. Too many times have I seen students simply memorize and regurgitate information they have been taught. I prefer to break difficult concepts into digestible chunks so that my students can learn and retain as much as they possibly can.
I hope to see you in one of my classes!Reviews
