Tutoring

Home About me Posts

I offer tutoring services to families and individual students in any North American timezone.
I am now offering both online tutoring, and in-person tutoring for students who are fully vaccinated in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan (south of 34th)

I can accomodate at most two students in parallel per month. Currently BOTH slots are open!

Subjects and rates

• Computer Science/Programming - $60/hr (65 minutes)
  • Topics such as: general programming, functional programming, algorithms, Linux, web services, networking, databases/architecture, or anything else you see on my résumé.
  • Qualification: I am an experienced, passionate full-time software engineer specializing in backend engineering at a fast-growing startup.
• I have previously tutored subjects such as reading/writing, and math, however am no longer offering these subjects. Sorry about that!

Discounted rates

If you choose to buy lessons as a lesson package (recommended), I offer the following package discounts:

• 4-lesson package (one lesson per week): $20 off total package cost
• 8-lesson package (two lessons per week): One lesson is free!

Only packages of 4 or 8 lessons are available, and you can only pay for additional lesson packages after the 4th or 8th lesson (respectively).

Payment and important info

I accept payment via PayPal, Venmo, cash, or check (latter two for in-person lessons only).

• For packages, payment is to be received in advance, at least 24 hours before the first lesson.
• For individual lessons, payments can be made after the lesson.
• Time/money spent traveling to an in-person lesson will be reflected in the lesson price. For example, if it takes me 30 minutes to get to a lesson, an additional fee of $27.50 will be added per lesson.
• If you feel that a lesson went poorly, or you would like to stop lessons entirely, I offer the following refund policy:
  • If it is an individual lesson, 50% of will be refunded (not including travel costs).
  • If you are seeking a refund for a lesson package, only remaining lessons will be refunded.
• Normally, I will email students with relevant homework/reading after each lesson. It serves as useful lesson review and preparation for the next lesson.
  If you’d like to opt-out of this, please let me know.
