Hello there! I'm Michael, and I have a genuine passion for helping others navigate the world of programming and computer science. Currently, I'm working towards my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and upon my graduation in May 2024 I will be working as a full time Software Developer.

Recently, I was fortunate to intern at Amazon, where I developed a project that serves up to 1.2 million users daily. Such experiences have enriched my understanding, making me adept at simplifying complex technical concepts for my students.

Subjects I'm Excited to Tutor:

AP Computer Science: Whether you're diving into Java or Python, I'm here to help. I've tutored students to understanding any topics they're having trouble with and completion of assignments or exams.

Technical Interview Preparation: Together, we'll build the confidence and skills you need to ace those interviews.

LeetCode/Hackerrank Styled Questions: Let's decode these together, making them less daunting and more approachable.

Data Structures & Algorithms: Specifically tailored for LeetCode styled questions.

General Programming Concepts: Because everyone starts somewhere, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Web Development: From the basics of HTML & CSS to advanced frameworks like React.js with TypeScript, I've got you covered. I have experience using the MERN stack among other tech stacks.

Sean, 3 lessons with Michael

Very Knowledgeable and explains concepts well

Michael is very patient and well-versed in Java. He uses easy to understand explanations and ensures I am able to apply the concepts I've been struggling with. Excellent Tutor!

Colton, 16 lessons with Michael

Knowledgable and patient

I have been having sessions with Michael who is a fantastic tutor. Flexible, open to changing direction if needed. I am a experienced developer but a boot camp professional, I found Michael had the ability to teach me concepts difficult to grasp in simple terms that an average person could understand. That is a great skill! He has helped me with learning more to prep for tougher interviews with assisting in computer science concepts and practicing algorithms.
