Super Prof

Chris is one of our best Computer programming tutors. High-quality profile and excellent qualifications, organised and responsive to lesson requests, appreciated by their students!

About Chris

I am a semi-retired, professional software developer of ten years with the majority of that time spent in the video game industry working on high-profile video games. I have a BSc with Honours in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo.

About the lesson

Because technology is always changing the most important skill for a software developer is their ability to learn rather than any specific programming language or algorithm. With that in mind, if a concept has you absolutely stumped or a problem has you feeling like you don't know where to begin, I will work with you to get you back on track with a focus on intuitive understanding and problem-solving habits that will help you continue learning confidently and effectively on your own.

Review

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.

Perfect! He is an excellent teacher, and really have patient with students. He have his way of teaching you how to code, but not just telling you what to do, instead he try to let you figure out the answer alone.

Chris is a patient and attentive teacher. Instead of giving you the answer and explaining it, he'll encourage you to work out the solution, providing guidance and suggestions on the way. He's extremely knowledgeable, but I think his greatest skill as a teacher is his ability to work through problems together. I've learned lots from Chris!

I've known Chris for over 2 decades, and went to elementary, high school, and university with him. He has always been one of the most intelligent people I know, and he has a knack for explaining things easily to others. I think he understands concepts so deeply that it makes it easy for him to step back and determine the best way to convey the concept to someone else. I can think of countless times that he has taught me something that a teacher wasn't able to, or explained something to me in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to understand on my own.

He's the best!

Having worked on a number of projects with Chris for years, I have had many great experiences.

He great at being empathetic and knowing how another person understands a language or problem, and being able to guide them to understand and create a solution.

But by far, his greatest skill is his ability to solve and also explain thought process around simple and complex problems.

A great engineer, mentor, and teacher.

Honestly I was on track to fail my intro to programming course and then I ended up with a B+ in the course thanks to Chris! I didn’t think I’d be able to get it at all but he explained everything so much better than my professor. I finished the subsequent course with an A-! Honestly you will not find a better tutor than Chris!

Find out more about Chris

1. When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?
My interest in video games started when I was just six years old! My cousins gave me their Super Nintendo along with a copy of Super Mario World, and computers and games have been a big part of my life ever since.
2. What makes you passionate about your subject?
Programming is all about solving puzzles: What tools are available? How do all the pieces fit together? How can I make this code faster or simpler? It's an endless game that provides new challenges and new opportunities on a daily basis, so naturally I can't resist!
3. What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?
I love to talk, and what could be more rewarding than talking about your passion with others? Unfortunately, a lot of people assume that computer science is too complicated for them to understand, but I'm not one to back down from a challenge. Don't like math? Don't like computers? Don't care! I pride myself on being able to not only explain computer science concepts, but also convince others that it's actually easy and intuitive! Of course it's always better if the audience is willing and tutoring is the perfect way to connect with new people (and give my friends and family a break).
4. Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?
My inspiration comes from all the amazing things that can be achieved through computer science as well as the friends and colleagues that I've collaborated throughout my many years of school and work. Every amazing game, app, or system that makes me wonder how it works, and all the people I can share that curiosity with.
5. What are your keys to success?
Perseverance! Coding can often throw you for a loop (pun intended), but as long as you keep pushing through, the sense of accomplishment that you get from fixing something that's broken or building something new will keep you hungry for more!
