Breakout Mentors

HistoryI tutored my friends and peers at UC Irvine to help them through the classes they took with me. After graduating I moved on to independent game development, but I never forgot how good it felt to explain and guide people through such a complex and exact subject. I opened this tutoring service to assist those who want to learn computer science.SpecialtiesI offer tutoring in C++, Java and C#, as well as instruction on the use of the Unity game engine and game design. My goal is not just to teach you how to code, but to help you stand out by sharing my creative approach to problem solving, and to help you think fluently in code and architecture. This is not about teaching you just how to pass tests, but about giving you a real understanding of what is going on. I love to tutor students going into programming for the first time - the intro classes are what most often turn potential computer scientists away, and I want to do what I can to make you feel at home in the world of computer programs.
