If you are Junior High/High school/College/Professional Engineer - whatever level it doesn’t matter. My learning tips and techniques prepare you to solve an immediate problem, learn a new language, or prepare for algorithm code tests and the interview process. I work with the student at their own pace, and tailor sessions to individual needs. My advice is for 2 hours at a time well spaced according to your schedule needs (every 1 ,2 weeks or more), but 1 hr can be suitable and the most practical for some use cases.

I have conducted over 40 interviews, and worked as a software engineer for over 25 years both Fortune 500 and startups. I am a lead engineer charged with reviewing code and mentoring, and I am totally passionate about knowing the right stuff leading to a successful career. Software engineering is a process requiring:
Attention to detail (organization)
Proper fundamentals, from the ground up
How to progress by knowing what needs to be learned next
Tools and techniques helping you to learn
I can work with you on projects carefully planned to be rewarding from more than just 1 standpoint, not wasting your time
I work with you and your own projects that you may need help
If needed I offer a high degree of interview, resume and code test prep
Taking projects to the cloud, managing them yourself

My experience run across many of the most popular languages today:
Java
C#
Javascript
React
Python
Ruby on Rails
SQL
CSS

C#

I am really strong in C#, Java, Python, Ruby on Rails, and React with over 20 years developing web sites and enterprise solutions, plus past experience in C and C++. I have a keen sense of organization and keeping things simple to understand and teach the core fundamentals from the ground up. C# is a great language from gaming to web sites and mobile development, and I have enjoyed mentoring students and new developers in more than 1 company where I've worked as this is one of the primary languages I've used from ASP.NET to .NET Core.

CSS,

CSS

I am accomplished with both vanilla CSS and responsive design using CSS Grid, Flexbox and Media Queries and spent parts of several years writing solid CSS good enough for a designer to take over and work on the user experience. I tailor my schedule to the individual needs of each student and make it fun and challenging. I believe in teaching CSS by taking existing themes and rebuilding them from scratch, the basics of design flow, and solid techniques that avoid trickery and code hacks. You will gain confidence and speed, I work extra hard to make sure no lesson is going to be over complicated.

I am strong in C#, Java, Python, C++, Ruby on Rails and TSQL. I am experienced with teaching Middle school and above, the Java AP exam prep and seeing students raise their performance. I will show you all the basics in a thorough manner and I tailor my instruction to the individual needs of the student. I have Ruby on Rails, C#, and Java public facing website experience. I am happy to assist with interview tips and practice. I do not tutor AI or Machine Learning.

Ruby

I am really strong in C#, Java, Python, Ruby on Rails, and React with over 20 years developing web sites and enterprise solutions, plus past experience in C and C++. I worked on a large-scale Ruby on Rails website at Bloomberg and it was a blast, and I discovered there is not a faster way to get a website up and running with a non simple database and ORM, because Rails does so much of the heavy lifting, and I will show you all the basics. I tailor my instruction to the individual needs of the student, so you will not be moving too slow or fast, and it will make sense to you every step of the way.
