Computer Programming Tutoring in Bruma with Sean v

Bio

Born into a family of teachers, and having escaped the trap of underachievement, I am empathetic to the needs of students. I enjoy problems, and am ready to bring out the joy in my students too!

I have personal experience facilitating critical thinking workshops for high school students, as well as tutoring mathematics and computer programming. I don't shortcut the learning process by doing the work for students - instead helping them come to their own conclusions organically. I use recommend learning strategies like spaced repetition and active recall, and of course use motivation!

Subjects

University Tutoring

Informatics

First Year - Second Year IFM02A2, IFM02B2

Technologies used in the course thus far involved using Visual Studio Community (full stack, WCF application) - especially in the creation of e-Commerce web applications, with new tech stacks. Eager problem solver, and enthusiastic tutor. Active reader of mathematical literature. Ex-underachiever.

Computer science

First Year CSC01A1

C++ with the open source IDE Codeblocks is used as an introduction to various programming concepts and important data structures in first year Computer Science. There are plenty of fun programming exercises to do at this level to teach and reinforce universal concepts! Learn by doing is the motto

Computer Programming

First Year - Second Year CSC2B

Computer Science 2A and 2B encompass a thorough grounding in fundamental data structures, and network-oriented programming in the object oriented language Java, with both theoretical and practical uses of the associated protocols, topologies and technologies (data communications with the OSI model)

Java

First Year - Third Year CSC3A

Designing Data Structures and Algorithms to be efficient is well-recognised as a key component of any CS curriculum. Learning these topics ideally requires understanding about basic high-level language constructs -- but focuses on abstract data structures that are independent of specific language.
