About Sam
I'm a patient and experienced tutor who cares about your goals. There are never any stupid questions, and sometimes you need to be exposed to a concept in multiple ways before it "clicks". Programming is an empowering skill that anyone can benefit from, and I'm more than happy to adjust my teaching style to suit you.
I have 6 years of experience as a Software Developer specialising in back-end C++ development for a major global trading firm.
I absolutely love teaching and have more than 10 years experience tutoring:
* Volunteer outreach programs for primary and high school kids (Python and embedded systems)
* University classes at the University of Sydney in Introduction to Programming (Java) and Algorithms (Python)
* For after-school group classes for kids (Python, Scratch).
Graduated University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Science (1st Class Honours) majoring in Computer Science in 2015.
Can provide a Working With Children Check and CV on request.

I can offer:

- Support for other programming courses.
- Once-off support for quizzes, exams, and assignments*
- Help learning the "software developer" skills which university computer courses sometimes miss, e.g. debugging, using source control (git), designing multi-class applications.
- A 10 week introduction to programming course if you wish to dip your toes in before committing to a uni course or boot-camp.
- A reduced rate for small group lessons if you have a friend or two with similar goals :)
Looking for something else? Shoot me a message and I'll let you know if I can help.
* I won't do your work for you, but more than happy to help identify and address knowledge gaps, give debugging advice, and work through related problems together.

Sam is a fantastic educator and all-around friendly and fun person.
Having worked with them for a long time through the Girls' Programming Network, I have seen them help a huge range of people take the next steps on their coding journeys. Whether they're helping beginners tackle their first programming projects, or extending the understanding of experienced programmers in new and interesting ways, they're great at explaining tricky concepts at just the right level.I started a Bachelor of CompSci as a mature age student and straight away found myself in the deep end of a whole new world with foreign concepts that seemed initially perplexing. As I tried to understand an entirely new language (that my professors causally just seemed to have thought should have already been taught) I quickly realised I may need some help. I then took the initiative to reach out to Sam, a bright established BSc graduate in the industry with over 6+ years of software development experience.
Sam was able to work with me to help me understand the complex areas of the Java programming language that I just couldn’t grasp from my university lectures. Sam’s positive and understanding demeanor made it an absolute pleasure to work with, knowing that in every session we had I would walk away feeling more at ease with my subject as my concerns and questions were always answered.
Sam is flexible with consultation hours and if you require a little more help or have a stressful assignment approaching a deadline, Sam will provide you the tools and knowledge to help get it submitted and you can walk away feeling accomplished because you did the hard work.
I can highly recommend Sam to anyone at any age that needs help in this area, as Sam is very versatile and accommodating with a reasonable price range for quality work delivered.
10/10 tutoring experience delivered for Computer programming especially in Java and for anyone who needs a clearer explanation of other computing languages.
I will no doubt be using Sam again in the future.
I’ve worked with Sam teaching a lot over the years. They’re diligent, considerate, and extremely knowledgeable. They explain concepts clearly, and are great with students of all levels.
When I co-founded an educational company, Sam was at the top of our list for tutors to hire.View more recommendations
