"Hello, I'm Saima Yunus, a recent computer engineering graduate from San Jose State University. My passion for tutoring stems from the opportunity it provides to reinforce my understanding of technical concepts while helping students learn. I specialize in teaching college students and adult learners, but I am also proficient in teaching middle/high school students.

With 2-3 years of programming experience, I excel in C++ and Python, adeptly applying object-oriented programming and fundamental algorithms in personal and collaborative projects. Additionally, I've independently studied HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and Java.

My professional journey includes my time as a freelance computer science instructor at Elite Prep, from February 2023 to the present. At Elite, I taught Java and Python to Elite Prep students, prioritizing problem-solving through real-world examples and practice coding problems. I've also conducted both group and individual tutoring sessions with students to solidify language syntax and computer science basics.

Moreover, during my time as a Cisco intern, I played a pivotal role in Cisco's VPP team by addressing security vulnerabilities within VPP's Python-based testing framework, resulting in a 10% performance boost for the software. Engaging in Cisco's complimentary online training, I honed my networking expertise, with a specific focus on Wireshark and VPP. Additionally, I contributed significantly to technical documentation for FD.io, emphasizing Vector Packet Processing..

Continuing my education, I've passed CSETs for middle and high school mathematics and plan to pursue an MS in Computer Science, Engineering, and Data Science to deepen my foundational knowledge and offer advanced tutoring.
