Wyzant Tutor Rating: 5 of 5 (22 ratings total)

Programming, Math, Statistics, Excel Tutoring. 25+years as programmer

Hi, I am a retired computer programmer who has been using Unix systems to write software in C, Java and many other languages since the mid 1980’s, when I received my BA in Math. Along the way I’ve become an expert Excel and MS Word user.

In teaching, I aim to support my students to learn for themselves. This means that I ask them to do most of the work (since most of us learn better by trying it ourselves) and watch what they do to find the places where they have difficulties.

Emily D. from San Diego, CA Craig is a unique combination of smart, fun, innovative and kind. The kids picked up on his qualities immediately and fell into learning about computer programming and math. After a fun hour or so of learning, he then taught the kids how to fall. It was like having a favorite uncle come to visit. We can't wait until next week's lessons.

Eric O. from San Diego, CA This is my 2nd review of Craig. I'm studying Java thru an online school at an intermediate level. Sometimes the online discussion format just isn't good enough for getting my questions answered, and it helps to discuss things one-on-one with a "live" person. That's where Craig comes in. I've been using Craig's tutoring services once or twice a week now for about 4 or 6 weeks. It's been apparent since my first meeting with him that Craig knows Java REALLY WELL, which is one reason I keep using him! His thorough knowledge with Java probably stems from the fact that, according to Craig, Java has been his primary language for many of his 25 years of work as a professional programmer. Not only does Craig seem to enjoy tutoring but he also likes Java as well. He is a very patient tutor and doesn't get frustrated when I get stuck. I can also tell that he has enough experience to show me subtle alternative techniques for what my assignments require that are both appropriate for my level of learning, but yet are not over my head. In addition to Java, Craig has also mentioned to me that he knows UNIX really well, too, because he worked with Java in a UNIX operating environment for many years. Soon, I would like to start asking him about Linux. Craig is reliable and professional, yet informal. Although he's sometimes just a few minutes late, he's never canceled a tutoring session without notifying me first, and he's MORE THAN FAIR with his time spent versus the amount he charges. I would DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone who needs help with Java! I would also recommend him for UNIX or C++, which is another programming language that Craig knows fairly well because of its similarities with Java. My rating: 4 1/2 - 5 STARS (out of 5).

Willard M. from Vista, CA Craig was a pleasure to work with. He taught me more than I have learned in an entire semester. He answers in a thorough and methodical way where it can't help but make sense.
