About Michael
Hi, I'm Michael! I'm a software engineer with a degree in Computer Science and over 8 years of professional experience working with companies such as Fitbit, Cruise, and Ridgeline.
Throughout my career, I've worked on software development, automated testing, and building tools that solve real-world problems. I've also developed my own applications, giving me experience taking ideas from concept to working products.
Beyond technology, I'm a professional mountain guide, an experience that has strengthened my ability to teach, communicate clearly, adapt to different learning styles, and help people build confidence while developing new skills.
I believe anyone can learn to program with the right guidance, patience, and encouragement. My goal is to create a supportive, engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and progressing at their own pace.
Whether you're completely new to programming, studying computer science, or looking to develop practical technical skills, I'm committed to helping you understand the material, become a more independent problem-solver, and achieve your goals.

My approach to tutoring is simple: I believe the best way to learn programming is by actually building things. With a degree in Computer Science and over 8 years of professional experience in software engineering, I've learned that understanding how to solve problems is far more valuable than simply memorizing code.
**My Teaching Method**
I focus on hands-on, interactive lessons tailored to each student's experience, goals, and learning pace. Rather than spending an entire session lecturing, I explain concepts clearly, demonstrate practical examples, and guide students through solving problems themselves. I encourage questions, experimentation, and learning from mistakes to build confidence and independence.
**What a Typical Lesson Looks Like**
We start by reviewing your goals and any challenges you're facing. I'll introduce a concept, walk through a real-world example, and then help you apply what you've learned through practical exercises. As you progress, we'll work on increasingly challenging projects that reinforce your skills and develop your ability to solve problems independently.
**What Sets Me Apart**
I've spent over 8 years working in the technology industry, including at companies such as Fitbit and Cruise. Beyond my professional experience, I develop my own software applications, giving me firsthand knowledge of how programming is used to solve real problems. I bring that practical perspective into every lesson, helping students understand not just how code works, but why it matters and how it's used in the real world.
**Who My Lessons Are For**
My lessons are designed for complete beginners, high school and college students studying computer science, adults looking to transition into technology, and anyone interested in learning Python, programming fundamentals, or AI-assisted development.
Whether you're writing your first line of code, struggling with a programming course, or hoping to build your own application, I'll help you develop the skills and confidence to reach your goals.
