About Troy
I have spent the last five years teaching programming to more than 180 students from diverse backgrounds and age groups. My professional journey began as a software developer at a fast-growing startup where I noticed that many junior developers struggled not with syntax but with problem decomposition and logical thinking. This observation led me to create a tutoring practice focused on building strong foundational thinking rather than superficial code memorization. I hold a degree in computer science and maintain active development projects to keep my skills current with industry standards. My students include high schoolers exploring coding for the first time, university students needing support with data structures, and career switchers preparing for bootcamp interviews. I take great satisfaction in watching students evolve from copying code to architecting their own solutions. In my spare time, I contribute to open-source projects and mentor at local coding workshops for underrepresented groups in technology. I believe programming literacy is becoming as essential as traditional literacy, and I am committed to making it accessible to everyone.

Learning to code is learning to think with precision and creativity simultaneously. My teaching method treats programming as a craft that requires both conceptual understanding and deliberate practice. I start students with the fundamental logic of sequence selection and iteration before introducing any specific language syntax. Every lesson includes live coding sessions where students watch me solve problems and then immediately apply those patterns to similar challenges. I emphasize reading code before writing it, teaching students to trace execution flow and predict outputs mentally. Debugging is treated as a core skill from day one rather than an afterthought. I use project-based learning where students build real applications such as calculators, data analyzers, or simple games rather than completing isolated exercises. Code reviews are a central part of my process, providing detailed feedback on style, efficiency, readability, and best practices. I also teach version control with Git, collaborative workflows, and how to read documentation effectively. For students preparing for computer science degrees or technical interviews, I offer specialized modules in algorithmic thinking, data structures, and time complexity analysis.
