About James
Coding is a hugely useful skill, and you can change the world and make really good money as a coder. Most importantly, it is fun!
I've taught coding at the high school level for 8 years, and have taught it some at the college level. Many of my students have graduated with CS degrees or are currently in a CS progam.
I teach AP CSA, and I run an IT academy where I teach computer programing using Scratch, Python, Pygame, and robots. We are just starting an AP CSP program at our school this year.
Before teaching, for 25 years experience I was a professional software engineer, manager, and entrepeneur. I moved over to teaching because I wanted to do something truly meaningful in my life.
I can help beginners get going, and help CS majors when they are really struggling with a concept or with an assignment.
Mostly, we do tutoring using Zoom, where the student is sharing their screen, so I can see their code and help them with it. If if is a new concept I need to teach them, then I may share my screen instead to demonstrate the idea while we talk about it.
My academy students come to me afraid of coding, and leave my class with confidence in coding.
My AP CSA students take a *very* rigourous course and are well prepared for the AP CSA test.
I like teaching and I like my students a lot. I'm a people person. I like teaching something that many people think is magic and only for geniuses. It's just not true! Almost everyone can code!
When I hit my middle-age crisis I was working in the financial industry as a programmer and manager. Instead of getting a trophy wife and a sports car, I shaved off my mustache and became a teacher.
Teaching is one of the hardest jobs I've ever had, but I'm also happier as a teacher than I've ever been in my life. I love teaching and helping people.
25 years full-time experience as a computer programmer, senior software engineer, manager, and entrepeneur.
8 years experience teaching coding and robotics in a very diverse high school. I teach mainly Scratch, Python, and Java, but have taught Ruby and RubyOnRails in the past.
I know several other languages, for what it is worth. But coding isn't really about languages, it is about problem solving and learning how to train computers to do what you want them to do.

1. Find out what the student needs and wants.
2. Answer all questions they have about me.
3. We'll set up a free or half-price first session (whatever is allowed by this website). Typically, we'll be on Zoom, and the student will be sharing their screen.
4. If the first session goes well, we'll continue from there. :)
Mostly high school students. I teach in one of the most diverse high schools in Calfornia. I've subbed for a college class, and I've worked with kids as young as 9 years old.
Real world experience!! Too many CS teachers and tutors have never worked as professional programmers. I've hired a lot of programmers and know what companies are looking for.
In addition, you want some who is responsive and nice, not someone who is a decent coder but doesn't have good people skills.
I also help even current pros debug sometimes. Just last week a programming friend called me up to get some help with a bug that was driving him nuts. We solved it together in about 20 minutes.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Be as clear as you can -- do you plan to become a pro, or do you just want get some help studying for the AP CSA or AP CSP test? (I teach AP CSA, and teach the same material that is on the AP CSP in my IT Academy classes.)
