Personal Statement

Hello, my name is Brian and I am a software engineer based in NYC with over 8 years of experience as a computer science tutor! While I love building apps and solving interesting problems, I've always had a strong passion for learning and sharing knowledge as well.

The open-ended nature of coding leaves a lot of room for interpretation and creativity, and there is rarely one correct approach to solving a programming task. I believe teaching is the same way - everyone is coming from a differ...

Brian is a knowledgeable tutor who was able to assist and help me understand conplex programming/pandas questions. Takes time to explain material so you know how to approach things.

Brian is a very patient tutor who?s wants to make sure you understand the concept, and wants you to do well. He?s very easy to work with, and is very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend him to any cs student

I was terrified of learning Python. Brian was very supportive even before we began our first session he asked a lot of questions to be prepared to help. I feel more comfortable with Python now so it doesn't feel so foreign to me.
- Maya B. from New York, NY
Brian was a fantastic tutor. He took the time to explain everything and did not move on until he felt I understood what he was trying to go over with me. He is very patient and I enjoy that he is very adaptable with his methods of teaching. He is very understand and makes sure that I don?t get lost along the way. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone that needs help with Java.

Brian was knowledgeable with MIPS though it was difficult. He tells you the particular problems you need to watch out for. It was fun working with him as my tutor.

Brian was a fantastic tutor. He took the time to explain everything and did not move on until he felt I understood what he was teaching. I would highly recommend Brian and I already set up a second session.

Brian does a great job explaining Python, but I?m most impressed with the care he takes to ask if we?ve used techniques in class and is careful to make sure I?m taught in the way that aligns with how my professor is teaching. I highly recommend Brian.
- Andrea E. from Kirkwood, DE
I was in panic mode studying for a test and Brian was able to squeeze me in for an emergency tutoring lesson which I was so grateful for. Brian does a great job of letting you work through the problem first before he helps guide you to the correct answer which is especially helpful for programming questions. I highly recommend Brian, he's a fantastic tutor!

In a short 1.5 hour session, Brian was able to help me complete an assignment for work, while also teaching me how to do it for myself the next time around. His style of controlling the student's screen maximizes progress in the time allotted, while also giving the student room to ask questions and inquire about his process. Brian was also available on short notice, as I got into contact with him for the first time the night before we had our session. Overall, I couldn't ask for more from a tutor, and will definitely seek out his help again in the need arises!

Brian helped me create some C programs for a lab assignment. After compiling and executing the necessary C code, we then translated the whole C to Assembly Language (RISC-V). Brian has the patience with me to go over line by line what the code is executing, which really helps me to understand what is going on. I was able to learn and comprehend the lab material a lot better and now I have the confidence to do well in my future exams/assignments. Brian lets me send him the assignment that I am working on and he takes the time before our meeting to go over the material to get familiarized with it. I really appreciate the hard work and dedication he has given me to make sure that I succeed in my course materials.

Brian was extremely helpful and is an amazing and knowledgeable tutor! Would recommend him to everyone for their Python needs!
- Shreya U. from West Bloomfield, MI
Brian was super helpful and patient, going through each line of code very clearly with me. My school uses BSL, which a lot of tutors on Wyzant do not have experience with, but Brian made an effort to research BSL and look at my assignment before our lesson to ensure that he could help me. Considering I have never taken a computer science class before, he was very patient and made sure I understood everything before moving on, no matter how basic my questions seemed. He is very knowledgable and can help with any cs problems you have!
- Natalie C. from Long Beach, CA
Brian was extremely patient and helpful when guiding me through my final project. He explained concepts clearly and concisely, and despite my limited knowledge of Python, was able to aid my understanding of the language. This combined with his understanding of my project goals helped keep us focused and cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. I highly recommend him as a tutor.
- Hannah Y. from Philadelphia, PA
Brian was very knowledgeable and patient. He explained exactly how things were and showed me. Super cool tutor, I look forward to our next tutor session. 10/10.

Brian is amazing, not only is he knowledgeable he is extremely patient and is a great teacher! He has inspired me as a HS female student to continue to stick with coding and not give up on it. Thank you!
- Nikkia B. from Somerset, NJ
My first lesson with Brian was great. He was very patient and knowledgeable. Brian clarified some topics I was having a hard time with, and he gave me really thorough and clear technical explanations. Looking forward to my next lesson with him.

Going through the basics of coding. I like the attentiveness of Brian and the way he is customizing his lesson plan and strategy to my son.. couldn?t have picked a better tutor thus far...
