Learning with Jordan
How we’ll work together
“Nobody learns to code by memorizing syntax — you learn by debugging your own thinking.”
I won't hand you the answer; I'll sit with you while you find the bug, because that's the skill that actually transfers. We'll write real code from minute one.
A little background
Jordan’s story
Jordan taught himself to code at twelve by modding Minecraft, then nearly flunked his first college data-structures midterm — he'd been memorizing instead of understanding. Rebuilding his fundamentals from scratch turned him into the TA everyone fought to get. He's shipped two indie games and still plays competitive Super Smash Bros on weekends.
What students say
1,073 ratings“I went from failing AP CS to a 5. Jordan never just gave me the fix — he made me explain my logic until I saw the mistake myself.”
“Total beginner at 40, switching careers. Jordan got me through Python fundamentals and I just landed my first dev internship.”
“Patient with the dumb questions, sharp on the hard ones. My recursion finally clicked.”
Before your first session
How does Jordan run a Computer Science session?
Jordan adapts each Computer Science session to the student's current assignment, exam, or goal.
Can this nerd remember past sessions?
Yes. Nerdy can save important notes, goals, preferences, and breakthroughs so future sessions can pick up with more context.
Can I get practice tests and study materials?
Yes. The session toolbox can generate practice tests, flashcards, diagrams, and study notes when they fit the lesson.
