Tutoring
MIT EECS Computer Science Tutor
Pristone Academy offers one-on-one computer science tutoring from an MIT-EECS-credentialed senior engineer. Unlike generalist tutors, Edward Mabonga teaches the hard, specific topics — algorithms, data structures, computer architecture, MIPS assembly, recursion and backtracking, and computer graphics — from real understanding, adapted to how each student learns.
Premium private coaching, typically structured as multi-session engagements.
Who this is for
University CS students, transfer and re-entry students, and serious self-learners who need depth and rigor on specific computer science topics — not surface-level help.
- University students in algorithms, data structures, or architecture courses
- Students struggling with recursion, backtracking, or MIPS assembly
- Computer graphics and systems coursework that generalist tutors can't cover
- Self-learners who want CS taught with real depth
What you walk away with
- ✓Genuine understanding of hard topics, not memorized patterns
- ✓Stronger problem-solving and proof reasoning
- ✓Improved coursework and exam performance
- ✓A mental model you can build on, taught by a working engineer
What we can cover
Algorithms & data structures
Sorting, graphs, dynamic programming, recursion and backtracking, complexity analysis — with intuition, not just code.
Computer architecture & assembly
Computer organization, memory hierarchy, and hands-on MIPS assembly — the topics most tutors won't touch.
Computer graphics & systems
Graphics pipelines, linear algebra for rendering, and systems-level reasoning, taught from real experience.
