About Me

Learn more about Channing

I am an experienced Software Engineer, Tutor, and Systems Administrator. I have over 12 years of proven industry experience in a wide variety of positions, and hold a degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

I have had a passion for teaching all of my life; I have aided fellow learners as a tutor and TA from middle school onwards. I have over 750 hours of tutoring accumulated across a variety of platforms, as well as in person, and have worked with students ranging from middle school to the graduate level. That said, my bread and butter is helping high school and early collegiate students learn the fundamentals of computer programming and information technology. I like to help guide my students not just towards success in their courses (though that's important too!), but also to success in finding their path in life to their choice of college and career.

I feel that it is important to take a holistic approach to both curriculum design and content delivery to ensure that information relevant to both academia and industry is delivered in as many mediums as possible to ensure comprehension.

I currently work as a Software Engineer II at the University of Rochester's River Campus Libraries, where I build and maintain the systems and websites used by the university community to access and showcase our rare books and special collections content.

My approach

How content is presented is just as important as the knowledge itself. I feel it's very important for everyone to learn at their own pace, and to take an individually tailored approach to each student.

Planning

I work with students and parents to establish concrete, measurable learning goals.

Curriculum

Curriculum materials are prepared and tweaked to suit every student's needs.

Lessons

Material is presented in an individual or small group setting. Care is taken to ensure full comprehension of the subject matter.

Labs

To cement knowledge and assess areas of weakness, each lesson is paired with a practical assignment.
