One tutor. On purpose.

Hi, I'm Marcos. I tutor computer science and game development for K–12 students all over the LA area. Every session is me and your student (or your student and a friend): no rotating staff, no outsourced instructors, no script.

I meet students wherever they actually are: a kid who's never written a line of code, a teen who wants their Unity game on itch.io, or a student fighting through AP CS A. We work in public spaces your family already knows, like libraries, cafes, and community centers, because comfortable students learn faster.

// teaching philosophy

Build first. Theory follows.

Nobody fell in love with coding from a worksheet. From the very first session, my students are building something they actually want to exist, a game, a website, a little program that does something funny. The theory shows up exactly when the project needs it, which is when it sticks.

I keep sessions calm and judgment-free. Students get stuck, that's the job. My role isn't to hand over answers; it's to teach the questions that get you unstuck, because that skill outlasts any single language or framework.

And I keep parents in the loop without homework for them: after every session you get a short recap of what we built and where we're headed next. You'll always know what your investment is producing.
