This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Java programming for students with no prior coding experience. Designed as a bridge to AP Computer Science A, the course covers most major AP CSA topics while emphasizing conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and clear program design. Students will begin with the fundamentals of how Java programs work, including variables, data types, expressions, and control flow. The course then progresses through conditionals and loops, method design and decomposition, object-oriented programming with classes and constructors, and an introduction to data collections such as arrays and ArrayLists. Students will also be exposed to standard algorithms, basic runtime reasoning, recursion at an introductory level, and ethical considerations related to data and computing. By the end of the course, students will be able to read, write, and reason about Java programs using the core structures and ideas required for further study in AP Computer Science A or other introductory computer science courses. No previous programming experience is required.

Walk in with any AP Calculus injury: limits bleeding out, derivatives not responding, and integrals causing emotional damage. You choose what hurts, we diagnose it, and we fix it step by step using AP-style reasoning. I can cover anything, including AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and Multivariable Calculus. Sessions are done as 1:1 tutoring. Please message Jiyun to request 1:1 sessions.
