About Chad


Bio

Hello there! I'm a computer guy with a couple years of tutoring experience, as well as several years of professional experience as both a software developer and an IT guy. When I'm not fixing things on a computer, I sometimes play games like Kerbal Space Progam.

I really enjoy helping people connect the dots and understand the things we're trying to study. I'm not going to do your homework for you, but I might walk you through it if time is tight. I'd rather not just give you working code;...

Hello there! I'm a computer guy with a couple years of tutoring experience, as well as several years of professional experience as both a software developer and an IT guy. When I'm not fixing things on a computer, I sometimes play games like Kerbal Space Progam.

I really enjoy helping people connect the dots and understand the things we're trying to study. I'm not going to do your homework for you, but I might walk you through it if time is tight. I'd rather not just give you working code; I'd like to spend a few minutes exploring how and why it works; I am not going to help you on your finals, so you need to be able to do this for yourself!

To be clear, if you need to just hand a homework project off and let someone else do it, you are asking the wrong tutor. And giving me a one-star review isn't going to change my mind. We are both going to work hard on your assignment and you are going to learn something.

I have a 4-year computer science degree and several years of industry experience; can tutor most computer science undergrad subjects from basic middle-school projects like Jeroo through to advanced database and AI classes.

I look forward to hearing from you! You can do it; I can help.

Awesome Tutor

Chad helped my son in Computer Science, he is an excellent tutor, he goes beyond his area of expertise and find ways to help you. He is very knowledgeable, patient, he always responds pretty quick and is very accommodating. I have had tutors on the past but Chad has been the greatest experience ever !!! Thank you Chad, our family really appreciate all your help, God bless you !

Barbara, 21 lessons with Chad

great!

Really Amazing, he’s a cool guy and definitely knows what he’s talking about, would definitely spend time learning from him !

Excellent Tutor

Chad is an amazing tutor. He has helped me understand lots of concepts related to data structures. I also learned a lot about debugging. I am always glad to work with him!

Samy, 30 lessons with Chad

Very patient, knowledgable.

Chad was very patient with me and good at explaining precisely the issue with the code I presented to him. Also, when there were some gaps in his knowledge -- because of the specificity of my issue, he's generally very well informed -- he was very good at quickly and efficiently researching to tackle the problem with me. 10/10 felt like I learned a lot about the specific library we were working with and debugging code in general.

Margaux, 2 lessons with Chad

Fast, efficient, and intelligent

Chad helped calm my anxiousness with my homework. We setup a step by step plan. He was always available to me and he responded quick. He has a ton of knowledge with many technologies making him a one stop shop tutor for all your tech questions.

Ernie, 8 lessons with Chad

Excellent Teacher!!!

I worked with Chad over a series of tutoring sessions, and every time he helped me figure out what I was struggling with, and gave me not only the knowledge to figure my way through each obstacle, but helpful shortcuts and tips and tricks a long the way, only a seasoned professional would know! I highly recommend him to anyone, especially for beginners of HTML, CSS, etc. His teaching style is easy going and very easy to follow, understand, and retain! If you need informative and efficient help, Chad is the answer!

Athena, 5 lessons with Chad

Very helpful, easy to work with

Fantastic tutor, who’s extremely knowledgeable and attentive. Makes it easy to ask questions and truly understand the answer. Don’t hesitate to work with Chad.

Riley, 2 lessons with Chad

Great teacher

He is really patient and knows what he is talking about. We went over Express and SQLite for a web programming assignment.

Ramneek, 3 lessons with Chad

Knowledgeable and helpful!!!!

Chad responded very quickly to my request for tutoring on a weekend and holiday night! He helped me understand a complex computing project that I was working on and patiently helped through the process. He helped me when I was on a tight deadline with understanding the material. He even helped me re-work with concepts that I was familiar with. I had worked with another tutor that didn't even understand the scope of the project so I was very grateful for Chad's help and expertise. I will definitely use Chad again in the future and would highly recommend him to other students.

Donald, 1 lesson with Chad

Knows his stuff and is good at explaining

He went thru the complicated steps to set up SSL and told me how to take it from there. We'll deal with the second problem next session. The only reason I felt obliged to not give five stars was a timing muddle, but then I had one, too, when my webhost server went down.
