Experience
I am a computer science and programming tutor in NYC. I also work as a professional web developer and have degrees in both Computer Science and Cognitive Science. I'd like to use both my academic and professional experience to help you learn computer science and programming on multiple levels instead of through rote memorization. I enjoy tutoring students of all ages and all levels of computer science experience, including those who have never programmed before as well as college students majoring in CS. When teaching, I try to enable my students to achieve their goals, whether that means building their own websites or passing their next test. TESTIMONIALS: "David taught me how to look through my code carefully for errors and how to make the code simple. I also learned how to translate written text to code." - Candace "David was very good with my 10-year-old, prompting him to figure out things on his own rather than just telling him, and allowing him to learn from his mistakes. He also seems to be organized and have a good curriculum in place for teaching programming to kids. And he is very patient!" - Meredith "We did a 3 hour class with Python. Knows how to teach Python quite well. Good explainer. Clearly very knowledgeable. Would be looking to hire him again." - Anthony

Hobbies
I've worked on projects such as an ear training site for musicians, a search engine for programmers, and an open source artificial intelligence framework. I believe this experience will help me to teach you to code while staying grounded in terms of how the material can be useful in actual projects.
