About Olivia
I've been a teaching assistant and private tutor for introductory computer science courses since 2018 with Duke University. I specialize in Python, Java, and C scripting languages as well as data structures and algorithms. I also have extensive academic and professional experience with database design and SQL. I'm passionate about making computer science accessible, understandable, and fun for everyone, especially underrepresented groups in tech fields.
I am a senior at Duke University studying computer science. I will be graduating in May of 2021 having taken 4 years of CS courses, from data structures to computer architecture to algorithm analysis, with a major GPA of 3.8/4. I have been a teaching assistant and private tutor for introductory CS classes since 2018, specializing in Python, Java, C, and SQL/database systems.

When I first meet a new student, I typically like to ask for a copy of the syllabus and any recent homework assignments or assessments so I can get a feel for what their areas of strength and weakness are. I want to maximize session productivity, so I like to be flexible to the needs and preferences of each student. A typical onboarding session will include: setting expectations for what they hope to get out of the course and the tutoring process, outlining which topics we will want to conceptually review, and discussing how we want to tackle upcoming assignments.
I've worked with college and high school students from various different backgrounds in CS, from those starting completely fresh to those with years of experience under their belt. My approach is always to be patient, flexible, and open to whatever style of learning best suits the student.
I would highly recommmend looking for a teacher who has a strong background in coding theory and fundamentals. Having years of specializes scripting experience is great, but it isn't always applicable to coding courses. The Internet is full of amazing - yet oftentimes contradictory - resources for all levels of programmers. In my opinion, the best kind of help comes from those teachers who can sort through all of that noise and focus on the basics, which are often much simpler than they first seem!

Olivia was very knowledgable in introductory python! Definitely helped my grade out a lot.
She is very nice and super helpful!
She was incredibly helpful, always was prepared to work on what our group asked to work on, and knew the material so well. She was also readily available outside of our sessions and answered questions over text and recorded sessions if people couldn’t make them. Overall so nice and well-suited to tutor, and had a mastery of the course!
It helped my grade a lot in general because I was able to understand concepts better and quickly find my own personal mistakes when coding. 10/10 recommend to anyone else
I literally didn't know anything about coding and when I took my 101 class I was so unprepared. Olivia was so nice and so helpful and I ended up getting an A in the class!! Thank you Olivia!!!
I never thought I’d need a tutor, especially not with a subject that I enjoyed so much. But such a mentality had to put aside if I wanted to do better in the class. Olivia was helpful in doing that. And I think it it partly because of her I did incredibly better on the next exam.
