About Jason

I’m Jason Cheng, a Ph.D. in Computer Science with over 15 years of international experience as an educator, researcher, and mentor. I’ve worked with students from all over the world—from high schoolers preparing for AP Computer Science exams to university students writing research proposals, to adult learners pivoting into tech. I was part of the Zoom development team, contributing to real-time collaboration tools, and my academic research focuses on artificial intelligence, educational technology, and intelligent systems. I bring both deep theoretical understanding and hands-on industry experience into every lesson I teach. My approach is clear, structured, and responsive. I specialize in working with: Bilingual learners (English/Mandarin), especially those adjusting to North American academic or technical standards Ambitious high school students aiming for top AP scores or STEM university admissions College students and adults needing clarity, confidence, and strong foundations in computer science or academic communication More than just a tutor, I act as a mentor and guide—for your coursework, exams, projects, or career planning. Whether you're writing your first line of code or preparing a research portfolio, I’ll help you build the tools to succeed.

About the lesson

My lessons are tailored for students who want clarity, structure, and long-term skill development—not just short-term cramming. Whether you're a high school student aiming for a 5 on the AP Computer Science A or Principles exam, a university student working on a research project, or an adult learner starting Python from scratch, I build each lesson around your goals and pace.

What to Expect
For AP Computer Science A: Exam-focused sessions with structured walkthroughs of FRQs, algorithm drills, and Java problem sets. I teach not only syntax but how to think like a programmer.

For AP Computer Science Principles (CSP): I help students build conceptual understanding of computing systems, algorithms, the internet, and data. Lessons include practice with performance tasks and mock exam components, as well as creative projects using block-based or text-based languages.

For Python: We start from logic and flow, move into syntax and libraries, and end in mini-projects based on your interests—such as AI, games, or data analysis.

For academic writing: I guide students in science and tech majors to build strong, structured essays, SOPs, research reports, and presentations. I help bilingual students navigate English academic norms without losing their voice.

For IELTS writing: I focus on coherence, structure, and lexical range, especially for students with a technical or STEM background.

‍ Who My Lessons Are For
AP CS A and AP CSP students (Grades 9–12)

University students in CS, engineering, or applied science programs

ESL/ELL learners (especially Mandarin speakers) needing scaffolded support in technical writing or computing

Adult learners or career switchers interested in computer science or AI foundations

As a former student of Jason, I am very grateful for the opportunity to write this recommendation. Jason was my computer programming teacher in Vancouver, and thanks to his clear explanations and dedicated teaching style, I was able to achieve a level 5 score in the course.

Jason has a deep understanding of programming and a unique ability to make complex topics easy to understand. He always encouraged us to think critically and solve problems step by step. His classes were not only educational but also engaging and motivating. I saw many of my classmates improve significantly under his guidance—some even achieved perfect scores, which speaks volumes about the quality of his teaching.

I highly recommend Jason to anyone who is looking to truly learn and succeed in computer programming. He is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had.
