Computer Science tutor near me in Canada

Stella is learning to use her new (used) MacBook Pro with Subashree's guidance. They troubleshoot initial setup issues like permissions and connectivity, then delve into battery management, exploring settings, usage patterns, and potential causes of battery drain. They discuss software updates, accessibility options, and general system settings. Stella expresses concerns about storage usage, overheating, and battery health, which Subashree addresses by planning to help uninstall unnecessary apps and test the battery. They also cover basic window management and schedule their next session.

Subashree Krishnan assisted Stella Hawke in resolving technical difficulties with Google Meet and her MacBook Pro, including screen sharing permissions and account verification issues. They troubleshooted persistent pop-up windows and explored system shortcuts. Due to ongoing problems and Stella's headache, they agreed to defer a basic MacBook Pro overview to their next session at 1:00 PM the following day.

Steven and S A reviewed S A's database assignment, specifically focusing on functional dependencies, partial dependencies, and database normalization. Steven provided guidance on identifying and correcting errors in the database design. S A will send Steven module 8 materials and the group project details for review before their meeting on July 28th.

Subashree and Stella's session was largely consumed by Stella's technical issues with her MacBook Pro, email account, and the Wingy platform, preventing a focused lesson on the touchpad as initially planned. Stella expressed concerns about potential hacking and the tutoring service's practices. They agreed to continue the lesson tomorrow, with Stella hoping to resolve some of the technical issues beforehand and Subashree scheduling a shorter session.

Steven is helping S A with a database normalization assignment. They discuss deletion and insertion anomalies, functional dependencies (full, partial, and transitive), and normalization forms (1NF, 2NF, 3NF). Steven identifies errors in S A's work, particularly regarding partial dependencies and primary key choices, and clarifies the importance of following normalization steps even if less optimal in the short term. While 3NF is generally preferred, 2NF might be considered for very small databases.

Steven is assisting S A with a database assignment due June 12, 2025. They are working on Access queries to extract and format drug prescription data, including calculating total costs and identifying frequently prescribed drugs since 2019. They encountered and resolved issues with screen sharing, date formatting, and query logic. They are also reviewing database design concepts and will independently create database designs for a regional council, including ER diagrams, before a follow-up meeting on Tuesday the 17th.
