Personal Statement

If you are a programming or computer science student anywhere between 10 years old through college and beyond, I'm your guy! I have experience as a a professional software engineer, as a tutor, and as a teaching assistant at my alma mater, where I graduated with high honors with a degree in computer science.

I'm a strong programmer with a knack for debugging students' code. Additionally, I have a good understanding of how computers work "under the hood", which allows me to scale the depth of...

Reviews

Elliot is super helpful, supportive and knowledgable. He's one of the best tutors I have ever had. He was very responsive and made great use of the time he spent with me.
- Zachary P. from Hermosa Beach, CA
Elliot helped me finish my project when I had a very tight deadline, was patient with me when I wasn?t getting it, and took the time to explain concepts I was struggling with. I would use him again.
- Daniel G. from Richardson, TX
We went over some open source codebase. He was able to help me resolve some issues I had with my code. It was helpful because he helped me learn how to use tools within my IDE to learn about the codebase quickly and how to create solutions. Very helpful and patient.

Elliot has been a tutor of mine for almost a year now, and I have learned so much from him in that time. He is extremely knowledgeable about so many different coding languages as well as discrete math. His lessons are laid back and comfortable, but at the same time he always stays on topic and makes sure I?m understanding each concept before moving on. He genuinely cares about getting you to understand the material before just answering a question. He?s also really great about being accommodating with scheduling, even with time differences and busy schedules. Five stars!
- Julianna M. from Portland, OR
Elliot is an intelligent guy who knows what he is doing. He comes with a surprisingly calm and relaxed teaching method which could be very useful for his students. He has a natural ability to quickly spot the student's challenges and steps in to help out. Elliot explains concepts clearly and writes clean and professional code irrespective of the task's scope or complexity. He focuses on good code design, which ultimately leads to maintainable code. Elliot does not make you feel bad if your code is sloppy, identifies sections requiring improvements, and suggests multiple ways of implementing them. While I'm no expert by any means, Elliot has improved my confidence in C programming, and I won't hesitate to use his help again in the future.

Elliot was very engaging, helpful and patient. Always checking for understanding. This was my daughter?s first lesson and we are very happy.
- Lisa G. from Parsippany, NJ
Elliot helped me with my C project on file compression that i had pretty much no idea what i was doing for it. So he walked me through bit manipulation and guided me to the finish. I will 100% be coming back to Elliott when i need help next
- Jack V. from Champlin, MN
Fantastic Tutor! Elliot helped me work through concepts that I didn't quite fully grasp, and he went above and beyond in helping me fully understand these problem areas in way I was able to understand and apply.
- Kyle F. from Verona, IL
Elliot is always willing to help me solve problems and teach me new things to help me become a better programmer. He has dedicated his time to helping me with my college Operating Systems course and is very knowledgable about the topic. Very helpful and patient - would highly recommend!
- Sophie L. from Gainesville, FL
I worked with Elliot on a multi-threaded producer consumer pipeline program and one-time pads program for my college operating systems course in C. Elliot started by walking me through the concepts of pipes, multi-threading, encryption, and one-time pads. After providing this overview, he then worked with me through the assignments' code. He is very knowledgeable and writes clean, effective code quickly. Additionally, he is very detail oriented, which is great for making sure all of the program requirements are met. Elliot is a relaxed patient guy who I would highly recommend help you with computer science projects.
- Kaylin L. from Silver Spring, MD
Elliot was able to help me understand memory handling (why and how) in C and even how to work with files and binary in code. Great at explaining things and also does mini reviews/gauges your knowledge level to know how in-depth he should go on topics.
- Alyssa A. from Oceanside, CA
Elliot is very patient and uses good communication. Very experienced in coding beyond java, making his analogies and concepts to java alone very easy to follow. This is the go to guy for basic level programming for sure!!!!
- Phillip B. from Climax, NC
I learned a few concepts that I was struggling with as well as some coding tips, and learned at a comfortable pace. I would definitely recommend Elliot if you need help with C++!
- Michael K. from Pleasanton, CA
Elliot is patient and understanding of any coding ability. He is thorough and really helps you understand why things are done the way they are. I look forward to working with him for the rest of my semester.
- Vinny T. from Missoula, MT
Elliot was able to help me with my lab as well as with with dereference and pointers in c++. Elliot helped me implement a generic type array class for my data structures class. I will return to Elliot for help in the future.
