"I have a strong academic background in computer science and hands-on experience supporting students in both classroom and tutoring environments. I have completed advanced coursework in programming and related technical subjects, and I have taught CMSC 130, an introductory Java programming course, as well as supported students through my work in learning centers and tutoring programs. My academic training has given me a solid foundation in problem solving, logic, and structured programming, which I use to clearly explain technical concepts in ways that are approachable for students at different skill levels.

My teaching and tutoring experience includes working with high school and college-aged students in both one-on-one and small-group settings. I focus on breaking complex topics into manageable steps, using real-world examples, and encouraging students to actively practice rather than passively observe. I have worked with students who were new to programming as well as those who needed reinforcement for more advanced material, adapting my approach based on each learner’s pace and goals.

Over several years of tutoring and instructional support, I have learned how to identify learning gaps, build confidence, and help students develop independent problem-solving skills. Whether in a classroom, learning center, or individualized tutoring session, my goal is always to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes as part of the learning process." less...
