Personal Statement

I am a life-long Chicagoan who earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science at UIC. I have 15 years of professional experience as a Software Engineer, and a true passion for teaching. I specialize in tutoring Java, JavaScript, C#, ASP.NET, Python, Linux, and HTML.

Jason is well versed in Visual Studio Code and has proved to be a patient and supportive tutor. He knows how to help students taking AP Computer Science Principles with their artifact. I would recommend Jason.
- Joanne L. from Cincinnati, OH
Jason was phenomenal in helping me troubleshoot a complicated assignment. He was understanding of my limited knowledge of the python program and guided me on the ins and outs of what the assignment question was really asking for. Not only that, he was very kind and patient, which means the world to me. It's hard for me to understand concepts very quickly, so his no-rush approach was very welcoming. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to ask for help but Jason was there to guide me. I was at my wit's end in trying to complete the assignment and I was very close to dropping the class. Not only did I not have to drop the class but the best part is that I managed to pass with an A!! If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable about programming concepts and is compassionate about teaching, you can't go wrong with having Jason as your tutor. I look forward to more tutoring sessions. :D Thank you Jason for all the help you gave me!

I'm a mediocre Developer with 25 years of experience and in need of a skills upgrade. In the course of three lessons Jason has made sense of technologies I had only grasped onto bits of and couldn't stay awake through another training video for. Using a useful example (a personal website for my portfolio) he is bringing the technology landscape all together for me and it's fun, even when debugging. Jason is very patient, often answering the same question multiple times, takes his time and is clear (he would be good with children and non native English speakers). The lessons are not low cost but well worth it, particularly considering what tech "training" (usually cert crams) costs and what little you get out of them. Consider him if like me your skills are dated.
- Steve F. from Schaumburg, IL
Jason didn't just solve my problem, but rather helped me to understand how to solve it which is very valuable. Great experience and will certainly be using his services again.
- Clint B. from Heavener, OK

- Tuan T. from Highland, IN
He was very soft and slow for me to understand it better and never rushed me and even let me do things so I can understand it better :3 and I didn?t feel rushed or scared to ask questions
- J M. from Winter Park, FL
Jason answered all of my questions and was very helpful and to the point. I would definitely use his services again in the future if the need arises, and I would recommend him to others! Worth the money.
- Jacob T. from Euless, TX
I've tried 3 different tutors so far, he has been the best and worth the money. Does not get mad or frustrated at the student and will makes sure you understand it all
- Tanner N. from Clear Lake, IA
Our daughter is new to programming and is taking an aggressive AP Java programming class. I met with Jason to make an initial introduction and to articulate our objectives. Jason was very accomodating and tailored a learning plan that met our daughter's goals. She had an excellent first session, and we plan to continue working with Jason moving forward.
- Adam D. from Devon, PA
Jason understood exactly what I needed help with, and explained it very clearly. I?m extremely grateful for his help.
- Shawn P. from Chicago, IL
Jason has been more than helpful and patient with me, and he is the main reason I am getting through my server side web development class! I learn more from him than I do from my online class. I cannot say strong enough how grateful I am for his help this semester.
- Delaney R. from Byron Center, MI
Jason is very knowledgeable. He has helped me to debug my projects and I learn a ton from each session. The most important lessons are how to think like a programmer, how to approach the problem-solving process and breaking down some of complex concepts. He has helped me with projects using JavaScript, React, Next JS. Bugs that I worked on for days and still couldn?t resolve, only took Jason less than an hour to fix. Amazing! I highly recommend Jason as a tutor.
- Chasity D. from Atlanta, GA
I've been struggling for a few months with the last piece of a project I'm working on, and Jason was able to not only solve it in one session, but also helped me understand how to solve it in the future! He was very professional and patient the entire time.
- Anna T. from Paducah, KY
Jason helped me with my web service assignment and walked me through the code. He explained it so I understood. We went through it and executed it to make sure it worked properly. He was very patient and informative. I highly recommend Jason as he is very knowledgeable and helpful.
- David R. from Pompano Beach, FL
I?ve only done one session but I see real progress with my concept of learning Python can?t wait for the next session
- Shawnia A. from Temecula, CA
Jason does a great job of showing your how to break down your coding projects and how to implement the solution. He is so helpful and patience, great for newbies!
- Kendall G. from Whitmore Lake, MI
His teaching methods are great. Very clear and concise. He?s excellent at building confidence in understanding Javascript and keeping lessons fun and engaging through various activities.
- Shantel M. from Brooklyn, NY
Jason clearly has a ton of knowledge and capability as both a programmer and teacher. We were able to go over some specifics of JavaScript (including a couple of coding exercises) as well as some more generic "wisdom". It was great to meet with Jason!
- Keenan T. from Chicago, IL
Jason helped me with the setup of my Eclipse IDE. If you need help with your Eclipse setup he is definitely the tutor to make an appointment with. Thanks a lot Jason. Michelle
- Michelle H. from Quartzsite, AZ
Jason is an excellent tutor. Quick response time to our request for sessions, excellent knowledge of the subject area (Java) and has been very helpful to my son. Definitely recommend him as a tutor.
