One of our best tutors. Quality profile, experience in their field, verified qualifications and a great response time. David will be happy to arrange your first Programmation lesson.

About David

I am a software developer with 5+ years of professional experience in numerous programming languages and tools. I have built web apps, server-side systems, desktop apps, mobile apps, and computer games throughout my years and I am intrigued to expand my knowledge with the new up-and-coming technologies. I have been giving private programming sessions for a few years from complete beginners to advanced students in Python, JavaScript (React, Vue, NodeJs), HTML, CSS, Java, and C.

About the lesson

My approach is always catered to the student's needs. I help them complete assignments and projects while explaining core concepts and fundamentals. When a student comes to me for a structured curriculum about certain programming subjects, I provide them with structured lessons going over the basics to the more advanced topics. I provide resources, exercises, and projects as I find learning by doing is the best method to really understand the material.

Review

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with David.

Perfect! just wanted to say thank you for being such a dedicated and inspiring teacher. Computer science wasn't something my son was always confident in, but your way of explaining things made complex topics feel understandable and even exciting. You didn’t just teach him code but you taught how to think logically, solve problems creatively, and stay curious.

Perfect! David is a great teacher with a lot of knowledge in python and coding. He is very good at explaining everything and makes things easier to understand what you are learning!

David's response
Darpaul is at the early stages of learning Python and programming in general. He shows curiosity and is eager to understand the fundamentals, which is an important first step. While he is still building his foundational knowledge and may take time to grasp new concepts, his willingness to learn is evident. With continued practice and persistence, I believe he will gain more confidence and proficiency in programming. An individual with potential who is on the right track!
