"Hi. I'm Ahmed. I graduated from Air University, Islamabad, Pakistan, with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Currently, I am a Graduate Student at Arizona State University, pursuing my Master's Degree in Computer Science. I am almost done with the program and have maintained a CGPA of 3.67 so far.

From high school, I realized that anything is made enjoyable and interactive by two things: the teacher's knowledge of the subject and the approach towards teaching.

I would also like to point out that I have had the pleasure of taking classes where instructors were so good that they were also a source of inspiration for becoming a teacher.

Apart from the 4 years of tutoring my classmates, I have also tutored children for their GCE O/A Level exams for one year. After my graduation in 2019, I took a year off before applying to Graduate Colleges. During" less...
