About Natalie

Learning how to program should be easy, but teaching how to program should not.

Computer science is, comparatively, an extremely young subject (see math, science, art, history...), which means most CS teachers actually taught themselves, or their teachers taught themselves.

What does this mean? It means your teacher might be a great programmer, but chances are they are not a great teacher of programming.

I think teaching CS should always be about finesse rather than brute force. Taking the time to really understand and recognize how something works will always be more effective than being able to memorize how it looks or how to recreate it.

Teaching method:
- Understanding over memorization
- Finding the root cause of confusion is step 1!
- Real world examples to see the big picture, details later

Typical session:
Let's say you're learning about recursion, and you have an assignment to "flip a coin" 10 times and return the amount of heads you get. Let's not sit staring at your IDE, endlessly running a new tweak on your broken program until it works.

Instead, let's look at your family tree (With names! Can't remember? Let's call your mom!). Let's draw it out on a piece of paper and look for patterns. Let's write the pattern out in a sentence. Let's translate that sentence into some sudo-code. Etc.

If you can do that, then it's not about memorization, it's about understanding the world and how to translate it into code.

Levels:
I have experience tutoring/teaching CS at an elementary, high school, and collegiate level.
