I graduated from UCSD with a math degree. After graduation, I became a software engineer and developed a graphics system for air traffic controllers in system, and later used C and C++ in the development and maintenance of the popular defragmenter, Diskeeper. Also used C and C++ for my stock picking software development. I have a lot of experience programming, in particular in these two languages. Qualifications: -BA in Math from UCSD, magna cum laude -OVER 4000 successful hours of tutoring in the last 6 years -You will not only learn the subject, you will learn to improve your ability T [more]
While working at Citibank, the company sent me to a class on the newly developed C language which we began using for our ATM's, internal tools, and server side components, such as network messaging. Besides designing and programming these components, I also taught an in-house class on C programming for other staff members. We began developing on the Unix based Solaris operating system on Sun servers with the gcc compiler, and later developed C programs for Microsoft servers using Visual Studio. I have tutored C here at WyzAnt, where you can find feedback from a student who learned with the [more]
I work in a major aerospace firm as a software developer for the past 28 years. I have programmed primarily in C. This includes real-time firmware development. After having worked 30 years as an engineer for major aerospace firms, I have recently decided to retire. I can now pursue the things I like to do. One of things I like to do is to tutor. I love working with people, especially when they see significant improvement because of my help. I have been successfully tutoring the last six years and have helped many people along the way....

I first studied C when I was 13 years old, and wrote a basic DOS game. C syntax is a great starting point for programming as many languages draw upon it heavily, including C++/C#, PHP, Java, and many more. Studying C provides a solid foundation for beginning in almost any programming language, and it's a language that I've both used and taught extensively. I have 15+ years of experience as a software developer, and 9+ years as a teacher. I am currently helping industry professionals, and college and high school students in C, C++, Java, JavaScript (and jQuery/AJAX), PHP, Python, SQL, C#, and [more]
I was employed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for 21 years, during which time I was a C and C++ programmer, developing programs to process data from spacecraft. At JPL I tutored peers in the use of this language, and since I retired from JPL I have tutored it as well. Most of the difficulties that my students experienced was related to the use of pointers. I have helped students to excel in the following subjects: Basic Math Algebra Geometry Trigonometry Math Analysis Pre-Calculus Calculus (AP/BC) Physics My INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE is the following: I was employed at the Jet Propu [more]
For the past 8 years I've mentored a robotics team that competes in the FIRST Robotics FTC league. My primary focus is on improving the students ability to engage in computational thinking. Recognizing and solving problems with software, or how software can improve the ability of the robot to complete a game requirement. This can be anything from sophisticated autonomous operation to software assisted functionality during the human control portion of the competition. As part of this focus,... [more]
Hi, I'm Donny. I'm currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at UC Irvine. I have experience teaching or tutoring at the middle school, high school, and college level. My specialty is math (Algebra/SAT), physics (high school, AP) and computer programming (Python, C/C++, Java). I also have teaching certifications from the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning, as well as UCI's Division of Teaching Excellence and Innovation.... [more]
I have been programming in C (and its related dialects) for more than 20 years. As a programmer, I've developed numerous applications and have worked with a wide variety of libraries, game engines and development tools. I've won numerous awards in Computer Science from the California State and Ventura County Science Fairs, and have judged the Computer Science division of the Ventura County Science Fair on multiple occasions. I programmed one of the leading music and audio editing tools, as well as one of Popular Science's Inventions of the Year. I sold my first commercial video game, wh [more]
I have studied C on my own and have the language installed outer. I am also conversant in many other computer languages including C+. In addition I took an on-line course in C from Harvard University's internet education site, EDX. Earlier in my career I was an active programmer as well as systems analyst. This graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Wisconsin, Madison is a patient and excellent tutor who is well versed in a wide variety of subjects that have as a common theme that they are mathematically oriented. I am a retired financial executive going back to work to support t [more]
I have tutored this subject for 2 semesters with great success, and have been familiar with this language for over 3 years. I am currently a tutor at Santa Monica College and the subjects I tutor range from intro and advanced Java, C, C++, web development languages, Visual Basic, PHP, mySQL, and more. I am also currently a student at the college and working toward my Web Programmer certificate I am no stranger to teaching, both in groups and one-to-one. In various roles I have taught Yoga, and coding classes for a community nonprofit, and math subjects ranging from basic Algebra to Trigonometr [more]
