Freshman @ Carnegie Mellon University & Executive Director @ CSYA

David C.

I am excited to offer my tutoring services to help you achieve your academic goals. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Riverside STEM Academy, recognized as California's top high school by U.S. News in 2024. I am an incoming freshman at Carnegie Mellon University, where I will be majoring in Information Systems.

My background in computer science is extensive and decorated with numerous honors. I am an International Computer Science Medalist, having earned a bronze medal at the American Computer Science League International competition, secured second place nationally at HPE Codewars, and ranked seventh internationally in the advanced division of Lockheed Martin CodeQuest. Additionally, I have two years of research experience as a research intern at the University of California, Riverside, where I focused on various computer science projects.

I have a strong passion for teaching and have spent the past three years instructing high school and middle school students in computer science. My teaching experience includes one-on-one lessons, classroom settings, and leading sessions through a tutoring center. As the Executive Director of Computer Science Youth of America, a nonprofit organization, I have helped hundreds of students learn computer science. In this role, I have not only instructed dozens of students but also mentored them, guiding some to publish their research papers.

One of my proudest achievements is being named an Amazon Future Engineer Scholar, which reflects my dedication to both my studies and my teaching. I believe what sets me apart from other tutors is my ability to connect with students and my commitment to their success. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you excel in your studies.
