› Relying on AI? AI-era coding help

Programs and courses I can help with

Computer Programming and Analysis (3-year advanced diploma)

Object-oriented development (Windows/Linux)

Client/server web development

SQL Server and database development

Fanshawe's CPA program is intensive and project-heavy, spanning OOP in Java and C++, client/server web, SQL Server databases, and data structures. This page is designed for students who need direct support on the actual code and deadlines.

Common coding blockers

  • Assignment code that compiles but fails the rubric or tests.
  • Object-oriented design that feels messy or hard to extend.
  • Database, web, or full-stack projects with too many moving pieces.
  • Exam and midterm prep where you need targeted practice, not random review.
  • Code AI wrote that runs fine, but that you could not rewrite or explain yourself.

Fanshawe courses students ask about

Exam & midterm prep

Tracing code, data structures, OOP, SQL, and language syntax turned into targeted practice for your next quiz, midterm, or final.

Coding in the AI era

AI can finish the lab. Can you explain the code?

Fanshawe programming runs on labs, assignments, and term projects, and that is exactly the work AI finishes fastest. Submissions go in on time, the marks look fine, and nothing feels wrong until something closed book shows up: a test, a code walkthrough, or a professor asking why you wrote a line the way you did.

A INFO-3134 assignment you finished with help and a INFO-3134 test with nothing open are two very different measurements of the same course. Most students find out at the second one.

None of this makes you a bad student. It makes you a student learning to code in the AI era.

What a finished project proves

That the code runs and the rubric is satisfied. It does not prove you could rebuild it from an empty file, and the semester moves too fast to stop and check.

What a closed book test measures

Whether you can write, trace, and debug Java, C++, C# on your own. Same course, different skill, and usually the first place the gap shows up.

›You finish assignments with AI but could not rewrite them from scratch.
›Your next exam is closed book and you have no idea how that will go.
›You are scared your professor will ask you to explain your own code.
›You freeze at technical interview questions you should be able to answer.

Nobody here is going to tell you to quit using AI. That is bad advice and you would ignore it anyway. The goal is AI independence, not AI avoidance: keep the speed, and also be able to think, code, debug, and explain your Fanshawe work when the tools are closed. In a session that means you write it, you explain it back, and you get the first attempt at your own bugs. You still write and submit your own work, always.

What to send before our first session

The more of this you send, the faster we get to a fix:

📄 The assignment PDF or rubric
💻 Your current code or repo/files
🐞 The error message or failing test
⏰ Your deadline
🧭 What you've already tried
🎯 What "done" looks like for you

Fanshawe tutoring FAQ

Do you tutor Fanshawe College programming students?

Yes. I help Fanshawe College students online with Computer Programming and Analysis (3-year advanced diploma) and related courses: assignments, labs, debugging, and exam prep. Sessions are 1:1 and built around your exact coursework.

Which languages and tools can you help with at Fanshawe?

Common Fanshawe support areas include Java, C++, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, plus databases, web development, and object-oriented design. Not sure if your topic fits? Send the assignment and I'll tell you honestly.

Can you help with a Fanshawe assignment or lab before the deadline?

Yes. Send the assignment or rubric, your current code, the error or failing test, and the deadline. We'll get it working and make sure you understand it, not just hand you a solution.

I use AI for most of my Fanshawe assignments. Can you still help?

Yes, and I am not going to tell you to stop using it. College programming is lab and project heavy, which is exactly the work AI finishes fastest, so the gap usually stays hidden until a closed book test or a professor asking you to walk through your own code. We keep the speed and rebuild what is underneath: you write it, explain it, and debug it yourself, then use AI for hints, feedback, and practice instead of finished answers. The AI-era coding help is a good first step if you want to see where you actually stand.

Are sessions online, and is assignment triage free?

All sessions are online, so I can help Fanshawe College students anywhere in Ontario. The assignment triage is free so you can see if the help is a good fit before committing.

Do you cover specific Fanshawe courses like INFO-3134?

Yes. For example, INFO-3134, INFO-1156, INFO-3070, INFO-3135, INFO-5052 are all areas I can support. Tell me your course code and topic and I'll tailor the session.
