About Luis

(concealed information)

Learn in an exciting way:

3D videogames with Unity for kids.

Python, master it for real.

Web development.

When some one who doen't undertand, finally in a magic way gets it, and starts flying by her/himk self in coding.

I used to tutor my little sister and I realized I loved that, the sparkle on her face when she was able to understand and master topics that school teachers were not able to help her to understand.

I have worked as a teacher for 22 years both classroom and online. I have worked with adults, teenagers, and kids as young as 9 years old.

At my former job, I took several teaching courses. I have a bachelor's in information technologies.

About the lesson

I teach coding.

Prior to the session, I use text messages to introduce myself and inquire about the students’ needs and goals. I do this before the lesson because students do not want to waste time with introductions and explanations about their goals during actual lessons since they are paying a good amount of money. After communicating through messages I prepare a great lesson in advance, I have plenty of lessons already prepared that I constantly update, because I have taught for decades. So I adapt those lessons to the student’s needs, age, situation, and personality.

During the actual session, I would still make a very short introduction and briefly confirm the student’s goals. And then I would start with an exercise that I will use to quickly assess student skills and knowledge in a general way.

If the student provides the exercise I would still assess the student, through questions, and asking the student to explain and demonstrate what he knows about the exercise.

Assessing them is very important because sometimes they say they understand a topic and they say they want to move on to a more complex topic. Sometimes they truly think they understand the topic. And I explain to them that we can continue the way they want but it is going to hurt them if they can not actually use the knowledge and skills of more simple topics before advancing to more complex ones. So it is up to them if they want me to help them to truly master the simple topics or if they want to continue. Most of the time they decide that they really want to master the simpler topics.

One extremely powerful tool I use is asking students to explain and ask. So I tell them how this is going to work: I am going to demonstrate/explain to them a topic, and they have to ask anything about it that is not clear, then they will have to demonstrate/explain it to me and whatever they are not capable to demonstrate/explain they have to ask that to me again, and after I demonstrate/explain again then they have to either demonstrate/explain again or start a new exercise.

When they explain to me their mind becomes clearer and they can both understand better and spot what they actually did not understand so I can explain.

I constantly encourage them in a sincere way. I let them know when they are doing the exercise correctly if I see something goes wrong I tell them they should double-check the specific line of code, trying not to give them the solution but just hint at them.

Adults, teenagers, and kids as young as 9 years old.

To try to really master coding. It will help them a lot, for instance, that way they will be able to create at the very least a minimum viable product and use it to demonstrate their idea, And by an idea I mean a whole range, from trying to get funds for research or trying to create a new app. Think about Facebook, the idea was not Zuckerberg's, yet he managed to do the minimum viable product and he got investors from there.

They have just found an intergalactic structure, "Giant Arc" that seems to challenge the knowledge we have about cosmology.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Why do I need to learn to code?

What will be the process of learning with you?

Will I really be able to master programming?

What have been my previous experiences at learning?

Do I just need to pass a test?

Do I just want to deliver a project or do I really want to master coding?

I have had nothing but an absolutely positive learning experience here, Luis explains everything that I need to learn, and checks for confirmation. He is punctual, his pricing is very fair, he has a great understanding of English and is very easy to work with. I wish all my teachers growing up were as easy to learn from.

My college-aged son was struggling in a class so badly that he was ready to drop out. He was feeling lost and hopeless, and then we found Luis. Luis took my son under his wing and gave him the knowledge, encouragement, help and guidance that my son so desperately needed. He teaches in a way that is not only easy to understand, but is also enjoyable and fun. Luis goes the extra mile in every aspect of his job! My son went from feeling lost and confused, to confident and hopeful. There are truly no words to describe what a gift Luis has been in our lives. He has been a true life-saver and we are forever grateful for all he has done to turn things around for us...
