About Jorge


Bio

My name is Jorge and I am a first generation Computer Science college graduate. I tutor Discrete Math and many Computer science topics, in addition I also help with Algebra, conceptual physics, algorithms and more. As for programming languages, I can tutor Java, Python, C, C++, C#, Javascript, PHP, Snap, Scratch, assembly, and potentially many others (since a lot follow the same formula). I also tutor MERN stack web development which includes (Linux, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, mySQL, Express,...

My name is Jorge and I am a first generation Computer Science college graduate. I tutor Discrete Math and many Computer science topics, in addition I also help with Algebra, conceptual physics, algorithms and more. As for programming languages, I can tutor Java, Python, C, C++, C#, Javascript, PHP, Snap, Scratch, assembly, and potentially many others (since a lot follow the same formula). I also tutor MERN stack web development which includes (Linux, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, mySQL, Express, React, NodeJS). I help students/clients from many backgrounds ranging from elementary school, middle school, high school, AP, IB, College, and professional level.

I say the key to my success is because I studied Mathematical Logic, therefore I can solve problems a lot more effectively. Logic is the origin/foundation of mathematics, therefore students can grasp topics faster and more effectively when they master this subject.I have a lot of experience in set theory, number theory, graph theory, functions, automata, relations, and pretty much every topic in discrete math. I put a heavy emphasis on proofs as solving them is definitive evidence that a student understands the topic. Just let me know what you are working on and I'll help.

As mentioned, I used to be terrible at math. To clarify, I have to say it's philosophical thinking that made me successful and Logic is just subtopic of that. Philosophical thinking strengthens imagination, and imagination (aka abstract thinking) is the #1 skill needed in mathematics (and related subjects). Learning is like exercise , no one is going to become stronger by lifting 1000 pounds in a single moment. Likewise, no one is going to become more adept at a subject by tackling harder problems or by attempting to learn it in a short amount of time. Nothing is impossible, patience, perseverance, discipline, and guts, is all thats needed. If I have to tell someone where to start, start thinking about big and mysterious questions.

C

I am a Senior Computer Science student that has been working with C for 4 years. I am also a full time tutor and I assist students from High School, College, and Career backgrounds with computer science related topics(including C). My session topics would range from C program structure to Arduino/AVR C programming. I actually have written an article of how to program Atmel microcontrollers in pure C.

I am a Senior Computer Science student that has been working with Python for 4 years. I am also a full time tutor and I assist students from High School, College, and Career backgrounds with computer science related topics(including Python). My session topics would range from Python program structure to GUI construction with tkinter. I also have done a variety of Python projects, ranging from robotics to graphics, where a prerequisite to this is an understanding of electronics, mathematics, and object oriented programming.

Awesome Tutor! Very helpful, and explanatory for all levels!

Jorge has been helping me in tremendous ways this semester! I am very shaky and have always struggled with python. Jorge makes sure to explain every step of the code and the purpose behind each function. Jorge's style is super efficient when dealing with such complicated material. I find myself better understanding the class material that is taught at such a high pace . I also see myself participating more in class and getting more comfortable with python.

Python Assert Statements

Jorge was again, very helpful. He assisted me with assert statements, as well as helped with implementing test cases in Python

Excellent Tutor

Jorge’s bio accurately reflects his abilities. He is a legitimate subject matter expert in programming. I was blown away by his knowledge and ability to clearly articulate concepts. He was patient and gladly reexplained anything I didn’t grasp initially. I highly recommend Jorge to anyone looking to improve their skills. Undoubtedly, I will be booking again with him in the future. 5/5, the real deal folks.

Jorge Has Been Fantastic - a Very Committed and Competent Tutor

Jorge has spent several sessions helping our son with an intermediate programming course in Python through AoPS. We found Jorge because he had experience with tkInter which is a package from the Python library. Our son had a couple of large projects for the course and Jorge was very committed to going well above and beyond with our son to finish the very challenging coursework. During several sessions, Jorge was incredibly generous with his time in order to make sure our son understood the material and was able to finish his projects. Jorge is a committed, motivated, empathetic and very competent tutor. Our experience with Jorge was outstanding and we're grateful to have found him.

Excellent in knowledge of python, professional and engaging

My son had several time-sensitive projects and assignments in Python leading up to his finals at school. He was performing at "meeting expectations" and needed a coordinated engagement covering concepts, applications and quality coding from a tutoring & peer review perspective. We had our first session with Jorge where he quickly came to speed on the help my son needed and engaged him very effectively for the first hour that led to additional sessions leading to a strong performance in the final submissions. Jorge was very professional, responsive and flexible with his availability and staying up late over a holiday weekend to help my son. His tutoring method was focused on making my son learn and independently develop his code with peer review that improved his understanding. I strongly recommend Jorge and plan to use his help for the AP Computer Science coursework.

Every minute was spent problem-solving!

Jorge was quick in his feet to help me with my coding class. He was able to jump right in and help me understand the lesson. He also had examples to demonstrate the functions- will schedule another session!

No Show

My daughter had been making these little apps on code.org and was getting stuck at places and needed help. I sent jorge a request and told him that we were looking for someone who could help her couple of times a week consistently. We had a great first session, he taught my daughter code.org and javascript. he gave good feedback for her and she enjoyed the lesson. We scheduled another session for the following week but he never showed up (for online session). He sent him couple of messages as i saw him online on wyzant but he did not respond or bother to let us know why he didnt just cancel the session if he was busy. My daughter was pretty disappointed as she was really looking forward to the coding session and waited online for 25 minutes before we called it a day. I think that was highly unprofessional of him!
