ts, graduate students and school children/teenagers (K-12). In addition, Dr. Cliff is a Certified Tutor by American Tutoring Association and National Tutoring Association (Math); he holds California Teaching Credentials in Math (CSET I,II,III), Business (I,II,III), and Educational Technology/Computers (I,II); he is a Sylvan Certified Teacher in Math and Arts/Language K-12.

Dr. Cliff believes that, although many professors and teachers do an admirable job in the classroom, many students and children do not learn well in traditional institutions. Many students and children don't respond to the assembly line nature of most institutions. He believes that a student's or child's strengths and natural abilities need to be the foundation of learning. Dr. Cliff often warns against a "cookie cutter" approach to educating students, teenagers and children. You or your child is seen as an individual, and natural strengths are identified and built upon. Therefore, individual one-on-one tutoring or help is the key approach to each student who has any challenges difficulties in a given subject.

In today’s environment and economic challenges, with shorter budgets for the education, larger classes sizes and pressure of performing well in all kind of standard tests, I often see many students lacking true knowledge and skills in a given subject, since they cannot get individualized attention during the class session. That’s where a tutor comes into the picture, not only uncover major “holes” in students’ knowledge set but also teach students how to study, how to learn and through proper guidance “fill” those knowledge and skills holes.

he National Symphonic Orchestra, and I played as a cellist in this institution until 2016. Studying at the university and working as a cellist with the Orchestra has provided me with a solid knowledge of music, but I have always kept an open mind for new sounds, no matter the genre, and have played as a cellist in works of many different styles. Additionally, I began focusing on music performance by manipulating different styles and genres. To further expand my knowledge of technology in music, I have studied recording and production processes. Another important concept that influenced me was the experience of performing in free jazz sessions and improvising accompanying silent films in Europe.

them to learn.Once we learn the fundamentals ,and after a few weeks of taking lessons together, students begin to realize how approachable and fun coding can be.This is the moment where i smile and be glad that i have been able to give my students the confidence they need in order to unleash their potential and create amazing things!.

The industry is fast paced and there is a lot of things that may change fast.My job is to make sure that all my students are learning the most relevant and in-demand skills that can help them to achieve their goals.Whether you are interested in learning to code in order to get employment, start a business, or just as a hobby, the skills that we will learn together are applicable and i bring a lot of experience as teaching is what i do for a living ,so you can be assured that you are getting some solid material with every lesson we go through.

My teaching style involves focusing on my individual students needs and then working on the areas that i find need more practice to make sure they grasp those concepts.I am able to teach students of all different ages, backgrounds and experience levels because patience is the key and once we establish a rhythm that we both like, the lessons get easier and much more fun as we get along.

Many people have a misconception that coding is for very smart individuals who are mathematics geniuses and love working with numbers or complex algorithms and the like.This couldn't be more further from the truth,and anyone can learn how to write elegant code once they are taught how to do it steadily i.e step by step

I encourage you to take a few lessons with me and i promise i will teach you the skills you need to become a great programmer.We will face some challenges and we will learn how to overcome them together,and this is how everyone learns to be a master at coding.Thank you for reading and see you in our first lesson together!

icture of web development as a whole.

Though learning to code definitely does take hard work, it doesn't have to be a boring "repeat it until you learn it" type of thing. It can also be interactive and fun.

A little more about me - when I'm not behind my computer writing code, I'm often up in the mountains snowboarding, climbing or hiking, or playing with my dog.

Allow me help you on your journey to become a web developer.
