"Hi, I’m Yaya!

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Computer Science with a focus on High-Performance and Cloud Computing. I also earned a Graduate Certificate in Power Systems. Professionally, I have extensive experience in Information Technology, Cloud Computing, High-Performance Computing, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack, Kubernetes, Ceph Distributed Systems, Telecommunications, Broadband, and STEM tutoring.

Tutoring is more than a job—it’s my passion. I truly enjoy helping students overcome challenges and build confidence. One of my most meaningful experiences was working with a student whose teachers recommended he leave school and learn a trade. His mother refused to give up on him and asked me to help. Together, we worked through Algebra I & II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Computer Technology. Over time, he went from failing to excelling—eventually becoming one of the top math students in his city. He later earned an Associate’s degree in Mathematics and went on to complete a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering. Witnessing his transformation reinforced my belief in the power of quality tutoring and mentorship.

I have also worked with adult learners returning to school, tutoring them in Chemistry, Physics, and Math—many of whom went on to become nurses, IT professionals, and accountants. Additionally, I have supported college students in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering (circuit analysis, control systems, communications), and coding.

I have experience tutoring all school ages, from elementary to college levels.

My goal is to help students gain a strong foundation in STEM subjects and achieve their academic goals. My teaching style is personalized: I take time to understand how each student learns best and meet them at their level. I am patient, attentive, and committed to their success.

If you’d like to discuss how I can support you or your student, please feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help." less...
