Bio

Hi, I'm Sam! I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science in 2015 and have worked as a software engineer with a focus on full-stack web development for over 6 years since then. I also have over a year of experience teaching web development skills for a coding bootcamp. I love teaching and helping students learn the skills they need to accomplish their goals!

Hi, I'm Sam! I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science in 2015 and have worked as a software engineer with a focus on full-stack web development for over 6 years since then. I also have over a year of experience teaching web development skills for a coding bootcamp. I love teaching and helping students learn the skills they need to accomplish their goals!

I enjoy helping people and I am a very curious person, so I like sharing what I've learned over the years with others. I was lucky enough to be able to learn programming and how to work with technology despite the many barriers that exist, so I feel very proud to be able to give back to the community by passing on those skills to my students. It's an honor every time I can help a student understand something better.

I'm very passionate about making learning accessible for my students. I have mostly worked with college-age students and other adult learners, but I also have some experience teaching high schoolers and believe I can help students of all ages understand the material they're trying to learn. I have worked with students who don't speak English as their native language, students with disabilities (including, ADHD, autism, and learning disabilities such as dyslexia), and students raising children, so I know how to support students with a variety of learning challenges. I particularly enjoy working with women, queer people, and people from other communities underserved by the White male-dominated tech industry. Regardless of where you're coming from, I'm confident I can translate the technical information and jargon into a form that makes sense to you.

Even if it takes some time for a student to understand certain concepts, I am patient with them and try to be encouraging no matter what. I want to answer all of the questions students have so they have a deep and complete understanding of the material. If you have any questions for me or want to schedule a lesson, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to working with you!
