# 🚀 Computer Science Tutoring — Learn to Code From a 20+ Year Software Engineer
**Middle & High School Students Welcome — Beginners, Hobbyists, College Students & Professionals Too!**
Interested in computer science, programming, or AI? Whether you're struggling with a CS class, trying to understand your homework, preparing for a test, or just curious about how software actually works, I can help.
I'm a **software engineer with 20+ years of professional experience** and master's degrees in **Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence**. I've worked as a .NET engineer, senior engineer, and software architect for companies including **Konica Minolta, Koch Industries, and others**, helping build award-winning, industry-leading applications.
I've spent my career working with everything from fundamental programming concepts to advanced software architecture, and I'd love to share that experience with the next generation of programmers.
### 👨💻 What I Can Help With
**Middle & High School Computer Science**
* Homework help
* Test and exam preparation
* Understanding difficult programming concepts
* Learning to program from the ground up
* Python, C#, Java, and other languages
* Object-oriented programming
* Debugging and problem solving
* Preparing for future CS courses or college
**🎓 Career & Professional Guidance**
* Advice for students considering a career in technology
* Guidance for recent graduates entering the industry
* Helping junior developers grow their skills and advance their careers
* Mentoring experienced developers who want to move into senior, architect, or design roles
* Real-world insight into what professional software development is actually like
**💻 Hobbyists & Enthusiasts**
You don't have to be pursuing a CS degree—or even a career—to learn programming!
Maybe you want to build your own application, automate something, make a game, experiment with AI, or simply understand how computers work. I can help you get there.
### 🧠 Advanced Topics
For students and developers who want to go beyond the basics, I have extensive experience with:
* C# / .NET and the broader .NET ecosystem
* Object-oriented programming
* SOLID principles
* Design patterns
* MVC and MVVM
* Service-oriented architecture
* Domain-driven design
* Test-driven development
* Application architecture and system design
* Software engineering best practices
* And much more
I've also spent the last several years working extensively with **agentic AI and modern AI technologies**, including products and APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and others.
### 💰 Flexible Rates
My standard rate is **$40/hour**, but I'm flexible.
I don't want cost to prevent someone who genuinely wants to learn from getting help. If $40/hour is outside your budget, **please reach out anyway**. We can discuss an arrangement that works.
### 📚 Why Learn From Someone With Industry Experience?
There's a big difference between learning how to make a program work for a class assignment and learning how professional software is actually designed and built.
I can help with both.
Whether you're a middle-school student writing your first program, a high-school student considering a career in computer science, a hobbyist who wants to learn Python, or an experienced developer looking to take the next step, I'm happy to help.
**If you're interested, have questions, or have something else in mind that isn't listed here, feel free to reach out.** I'm always happy to talk about what you're trying to learn and see if I can help.
