About Dan
I started tutoring DOS in the mid 80's. Then became a game industry professional programming in Assembly / C / C++. Since then I've worked with both Front end, and Back End technologies. You have probably even seen some of my work if you have ever played on an XBox. I've also worked with Unity, and Unreal.
I'm great at taking complex subjects, and simplifying them for non-technical audiences. Not only do I understand how to program, but I understand how to program in large environments, with lots of contributors to the code base. If your looking to get into the games industry, I can also help you study for programming exams that many game companies will expect you to complete.
I've held classes at major corporations tutoring groups on 3D math, as it relates to gaming, concurrency, multi-threading, parallelization both on the instruction level (SIMD), and on the thread level, (SPMD), and even what NVidia calls (SIMT). On an individual mentoring level, I've helped people write cleaner, better understood code, as well as point out game industry norms, language faux pas, and how to use, or create your own algorithms.
In individual 1 : 1 tutoring sessions, I first take an assessment of what you already know. Then we discuss what you want to learn. Then I create lesson plans based on the deltas. I think it's important to understand the fundamentals before getting lost in the syntax. I'm not going to hover over you as you write code. Doing, failing, identifying the failures (real or potential), and repeating Is how I like teach. Understanding failures are often the best lessons on how to create success.

I like getting students to that AHA moment. When they start doing things that they never thought that they could do. I like breaking down the mental barrier of "that's impossible". Or "I'll never get this." A lot of times the student themselves doesn't understand what they don't get. They just don't get it. I like exploring that, and breaking things down until we find some basis that they do understand, and then build back up from that.

Frequently I like to have a short call, to assess your current skill level and understanding, and solidify what you want to get out of the session, and schedule a time. If there is homework that you want help with, I'd also like to get a copy of it at that time.
