I am coding most of the time and love to share my experience with other. I have been teaching Java at a high school in California. As I interact with students on a regular basis, I feel they are more comfortable understanding the concepts first than jumping on to practice coding directly. I mainly focus on the basic concepts as well as on the lab work. Besides this, I am a strong believer of encouraging girls to learn more about Computer Science. If you look at any computer science class, ... Read more

Expert in Mathematics (all topics)
- $15 / h
- Sunnyvale , California ( 94085 )
- 20 miles
I am currently teaching at high school. I have my degree in Mathematics and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with students. Mathematics seems to be very hard for students to understand. What I do in my classes is to try to overcome that "fear" of math in my students mind. Then I do step by step explanation of every problem students have. If something is not clear we go through that part as many times as students need. Let's say that the patience is very important in teaching math. I have tuto... Read more
