Corey Wade: Berkeley Coding Academy
Community SubscriberBerkeley Coding Academy teaches students from the Bay Area and beyond coding fundamentals in Python, Data Science, Machine Learning, & AI. We offer a popular Machine Learning & AI summer intensive where students attend interactive lectures from program director Corey Wade and join small cohorts to solve problems and work on project development. During the school year, BCA students work 1-1 with instructors at their own pace with a tailored curriculum that may include core Python concepts or advanced Machine Learning concepts. BCA graduates earn certificates, and may pursue careers in fields related to Programming or AI. We are a code first program. BCA Program director, math/programming teacher, and author Corey Wade has over 17 years of experience with BUSD.
Corey has been tutoring our middle schooler for the past year. He is a gifted teacher with a real love for math and coding. He has an uncanny ability to connect with students of all ages at their level and share his passion for math and coding. During our first meeting with Corey, I expressed my hope that our son will grow to love math and see the beauty in mathematical logic and reasoning. I can honestly say that it has been a real pleasure to see Corey connect with our son and inspire him to do just that. We look forward to working with him for the foreseeable future.
Corey Wade first taught my son, Andrew, when he was a struggling, stressed-out freshman at Berkeley High School, successfully getting him through his first year of algebra. After Andrew joined the Berkeley Independent Study Program, Corey continued as his math teacher, guiding him with great success through geometry and algebra II. I was a parent volunteer and came to know most of the teachers in this program; I found Corey to be a highly effective math teacher who is completely dedicated to the success of his students, understanding the needs of each individual student. His many years teaching and relating to the diversity of students in Independent Studies gives Corey a unique ability to assist and guide struggling students through the beautiful world of mathematics. I thank Corey for being Andrew's teacher and am pleased to give him the highest recommendation.
I have taught along side the superlative educator Corey Wade for many years in the Berkeley Independent Study program of Berkeley Unified. I am inspired by the consistent and deep attention Corey gives each student he works with. He quickly identifies what each student needs, and handily designs an educational plan that supports high academic growth. He also always engages students in creative math projects that expose students to the relevance and beauty of Math. Corey is an excellent communicator (also a poet) and parents, students, teachers and other school personnel can count on him for clear, thoughtful communication.
Corey taught my 16 year old AP Calculus BC through Berkeley Independent Study last year; what a wonderful experience for her! His insight, focus on the individual needs of the students, adaptability, kindness, patience and humor make him a delight of a teacher. How marvelous to truly have instruction tailored to your child! I highly recommend him as a teacher. -Christine S.
