About Ron
I graduated from UW La Crosse with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, and a minor in Math. I had a 3.4 GPA. In college, I worked as a computer lab assistant. That's the first experience I had being paid to teach people programming concepts, and overcome technical issues.
As a computer programmer for American Family Insurance, I provided technical support for people who needed help with their projects. This involved me going over their code with employees on their computer. I'd describe the methodology of isolating bug followed by involving them in the debugging process. Then we would determine the best way to fix the code. I also helped people organize their code to make it more readable, and which would make it easier to maintain.
I continued my hands on technique while working as a website developer. Most of my clients started out wanting me to create their websites. Often times, they wanted to learn how to maintain their sites themselves. That's when I would teach them how to uses web development software and the basics of HTML, and sometimes JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL. Most of my tutoring experience is with adults, but I have tutored college students and a High School student.
I've developed a collection of PHP applications that can be used as a good starting point for new programs as well a collection of generic functions that simplify common tasks like database access and querying, using cookies, and programming with AJAX. I also have user management software that lets people quickly add user functionality to their websites. I can let you use a copy of my portable code library, and teach you how to use it to help you compete your projects as you learn programming concepts.
Additionally, I can teach you organizing techniques like code versioning, naming conventions, proper indentation, etc. to make easy to read, scalable code.
Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I am able to give online lessons as well as lessons at a local library in the Madison, WI and Mount Horeb, WI areas.
My approach is to start by determining your needs, and together we come up with a schedule and lesson plan.
Answering assignment questions and debugging code is a 2 step process.
1. I figure out the answer by asking questions.
2. I guide my student through the thought process so they have the opportunity to figure it out on their own.
When teaching concepts I like to allow the student to learn by walking through an example.
