SQL

SQL is something any modern professional software developer cannot avoid. I have been working with different databases through my career. Particularly, SQL is the one I used most in day-to-day work. I can tutor basic CRUD operation on MySQL. Furthermore, help student understand how table join works. I can explain and clarify to student's questions.

computer programming

I speak more programming languages than natural languages. I've been coding since I was in high-school. I love coding and sharing my knowledge to anyone who wants to learn how to write computer programs. I can help students with learning basic programming tips & techniques; such as writing algorithms, choosing right data structure to store data in memory. Also, in some languages are designed to support Object Oriented Programming or OOP. And I can tutor in this area as well by explaining what OOP principles are and writing code in OOP fashion.

computer science

I received master degree in Computer Science from Oklahoma State University. When I was student at OSU, I worked as teaching assistance for Computer Science 101 and 102 classes. I helped students with their course works that includes programming. I can tutor fundamentals of computer programming constructs such as conditional logic, loops, functions, variable scopes and more. Also, I can teach how to design and model a solution using Object Oriented Programming paradigm. Last but least, I can explain and clarify to the questions the student might have.

Linux

Python

I am currently a full-time software developer at a Chicago based software start-up company. Self taught Python language about 3 years ago. I use Python to solve s variety of problems. Here are a couple of recent mini-projects that I enjoyed most: I wrote Python script to read application log files then manipulate data and print out the only log data that was concerned. Another one is a script which uses the 3rd party libraries to connect to databases (mongoDB, mysql). Then query data to massage them and print the results. I focus on tutoring in programming basics. For example, for a given problem how to design Python modules (functions/classes), and how to implement it, how to debug it and most importantly how to test it. Newbies and beginners are most welcome!!

JavaScript

JavaScript is essential to the most web pages today. I have been a web developer through out of my career. I use JavaScript along with CSS and HTML to make the web page more interactive and dynamic. I can tutor basic language fundamental such as variable scoping, looping, expressions, conditional logic, functions and more. Furthermore, I can dive into AJAX and JQuery world as well if the student is interested in these topics. My tutoring method is "learn by doing". So, write working code first, then dive into why & how. But, I am open for other ways as well.

Japanese

I was born and raised in Japan until I was 21 years old. I came to the United States for study. I use Japanese language daily. If you are a student in high school or college and taking Japanese class and need a help on your course work, I am here to tutor you from writing/reading basic Hiragana, Katakana, and to basic Kanji. Perhaps you are planning to study abroad in Japan and prepare reading, writing, and or speaking in Japanese. I would love to tutor you so that you will have more confidence using Japanese during your stay in Japan. Language is something that you use it or lose it. Unfortunately, this fact is true. If you like to have some practice buddy to keep up your Japanese skills, I can be your practice buddy.

Java

HTML

I have over 10 years of web development experience. HTML is basic component of any web development. I can tutor a student by helping him/her understand how each HTML tag works. Also, I can dive into styling with font/color and show/hide some section of the HTML page. And more cool stuff to come!

general computer

First PC I owned when I was 15 years old. I am familiar with a variety of operating systems (Dos, Windows, Mac, Linux). I built a few desktops from pieces. Installed variety of operating systems on them. Recent years I mostly install Linux distributions. So, basically, I can tutor students from setting up hardware, installing software, and configuring a secure home network. I welcome anyone at any computer skills level.
