Tutoring Experience

With over six years of dedicated experience in tutoring Computer Science, I have focused on helping students excel in AP Computer Science. My journey began at MIT, where I earned my degree in Computer Science with a GPA of 3.9/4.0. During my time at MIT, I developed a strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and software engineering, which I have since applied in my tutoring career. I have worked with high school students across the globe, guiding them through the complexities of the AP Computer Science A curriculum. My students have consistently achieved high scores, with many earning a 5 on their AP exams. Beyond AP preparation, I also tutor in Python, Java, and C++, ensuring students gain practical coding skills. My experience in both teaching and the tech industry allows me to provide students with insights that extend beyond the textbook.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring revolves around making Computer Science accessible and engaging for every student. I believe in a hands-on learning experience, where students are encouraged to code, experiment, and solve problems independently. I tailor my sessions to each student’s unique learning style, ensuring that complex concepts are broken down into manageable steps. By integrating real-world examples and current technologies into lessons, I aim to show the relevance of Computer Science in everyday life and future careers. My goal is not just to prepare students for their exams but to ignite a passion for technology that will drive their lifelong learning.
