About the lesson

Hi there! I'm an experienced programming tutor providing bespoke programming lessons in a variety of languages, tailering to your needs as a student.

I mostly teach using a combination of lecture-activity periods, in which I will discuss a new topic, provide you with tasks to complete followed by a review of the just completed course work.

Lessons are expected to last 1-hour, however subject to availability and the particular student we can adjust as it is seen fit.

I will often recommend readings or provide write-ups of lessons, and have handouts and cheatsheats prepared for most topics.

If you don't have a particular goal in mind we will explore programming and its usecases through Processing, a Java Framework, otherwise we will change the curriculum to suit you.

I have been working as a professional programming tutor for one year, and have experience working with ages 8-23. These online classes are not suitable for children, however. No experience required, somewhat experienced students will be accounted for in the curriculum.

Perfect for College Freshman, Leaving Certificate Computer Science students and anyone with an active interest in programming.

About Rian

Hi there, I'm a second-year Computational Linguistics student who has been programming personally and professionally for many years.

I began teaching through the Coderdojo Movement in which I acted as a Mentor to children, and for the past year I have been working for an EduTech company teaching programming to children.

Rian gave me private grinds in Computer Science / Programming as we were going through College together, it was really helpful!

I don't go into college knowing anything but he was there to answer any questions and often handheld me through even the smallest and idiotic mistakes I made

It's an understatement to say I've learned a lot about java programming from Rían while in college, and the fact that he's a student too is even more impressive to me. Time and time again he's been able to give good examples and comparisons to explain topics clearly to me and other students in our course.

As someone who has been taught concepts by Rian and has studied along side Rian, he really knows his stuff and truly goes out of his way to explain the reasoning behind. Most people will be content with just showing you the code and explaining it or if your lucky they might show you how the concept works in detail, but Rian explains not only the concept but why there might be a better, efficient and more elegant implementation to a problem.
I have personally found Rian to be invaluable help in my academic ventures and would recommend him as a tutor
