Hi! I'm a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), majoring in Brain and Cognitive Science and pursuing a minor in Computer Science. I'm passionate about programming and helping students develop confidence in their coding abilities.

I have several years of experience teaching programming, particularly to middle school students. I previously founded SJ Tutors, where I helped students learn Java, computational thinking, and introductory competitive programming. I've also volunteered with the San José Public Library for over four years, organizing and leading free coding workshops. I developed lesson plans, taught beginner and intermediate Java concepts, and guided students through hands-on programming exercises.

My programming experience includes Python, Java, C, and C++. I achieved USACO Silver and competed at the Gold level, and I've completed university-level computer science coursework, including Stanford's CS 107 (Computer Systems). I've also applied programming to machine learning research, including a Parkinson's disease classification project published in a Springer book chapter.

My tutoring approach emphasizes understanding concepts rather than memorizing code. I tailor lessons to each student's experience and learning style, using interactive examples, guided problem-solving, and hands-on coding exercises. I encourage students to think independently, ask questions, and develop strong debugging and problem-solving skills.

I can help with beginner and intermediate Python, Java, C++, AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, introductory algorithms, and USACO Bronze preparation.

Whether your student is learning to code for the first time or looking to strengthen their programming skills, my goal is to make computer science engaging, approachable, and rewarding!

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I am a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a strong background in mathematics, including calculus, statistics, algebra, and geometry. I have experience tutoring students and leading educational workshops, helping them strengthen their problem-solving skills and build confidence in challenging subjects. I am familiar with ACT Math topics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability, and data analysis, and can help students develop effective strategies for solving questions efficiently. My teaching approach emphasizes clear explanations, targeted practice, and time-management techniques to help students improve their performance on the ACT.
Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I am a Brain and Cognitive Science student pursuing a Computer Science minor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with programming experience in Python, Java, C, C++, and Kotlin. I have applied my programming skills to research projects, including developing a convolutional neural network to analyze Parkinson's disease brain scans, which resulted in a published research chapter. I have also organized and taught coding workshops through public libraries, helping younger students develop foundational programming skills and computational thinking. My experience with academic coursework, independent software projects, and competitive programming through USACO has equipped me to teach programming fundamentals, problem-solving strategies, and debugging techniques across multiple languages.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I have several years of experience teaching computer science and programming to middle and high school students through tutoring and free public library coding workshops, where I've developed lesson plans and guided students through hands-on projects. I'm pursuing a Computer Science minor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and have completed Stanford University's CS 107 (Computer Systems), gaining experience in programming, data structures, algorithms, memory management, and computer systems. My background also includes achieving USACO Silver and competing at the Gold level, along with published machine learning research involving Python and deep learning. I tutor students in Java, Python, C++, AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, and introductory computer science concepts, emphasizing conceptual understanding, independent problem-solving, and practical coding skills.
Java

Java

I have over four years of experience teaching Java programming to middle and high school students through public library coding workshops and tutoring. I've developed lesson plans and taught beginner to intermediate Java concepts, including object-oriented programming, recursion, data structures, and algorithms. My background includes university-level computer science coursework at UIUC, competitive programming experience through USACO Silver and Gold, and extensive hands-on programming experience. I tailor my lessons to each student's skill level, emphasizing problem-solving, debugging, and a strong conceptual understanding of Java, including preparation for AP Computer Science A.
Machine Learning/ AI

Machine Learning/ AI

I am a Brain and Cognitive Science student pursuing a Computer Science minor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with hands-on experience in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and Python programming. My research includes developing a convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyze Parkinson’s disease brain scans, achieving approximately 75% classification accuracy, with findings published in a Springer book chapter. I have experience with neural networks, model training, cross-validation, data preprocessing, and evaluating machine learning models. Through my programming and teaching experience, I can help students understand foundational AI/ML concepts, implement machine learning algorithms in Python, and develop practical projects.
Psychology

Psychology

I am a Brain and Cognitive Science major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a strong academic foundation in psychology, neuroscience, and human behavior. I conduct research in a developmental psychology lab at UIUC, studying adolescent social and emotional development through behavioral assessments and neuroimaging. My academic and research experience has given me a strong understanding of cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, research methods, and the biological foundations of behavior. I aim to make complex psychological concepts approachable through clear explanations, real-world examples, and personalized instruction that helps students build confidence and deepen their understanding.
Python

Python

I have extensive experience with Python through university-level coursework, artificial intelligence and machine learning research, and independent programming projects. I've used Python extensively for data analysis, visualization, automation, and deep learning, including developing a Parkinson's disease classification model using TensorFlow and transfer learning, which contributed to a published Springer book chapter. My research experience also includes working with pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib to analyze behavioral and cognitive science datasets. I help students build strong Python fundamentals, develop problem-solving skills, and gain confidence through hands-on coding exercises, real-world applications, and step-by-step debugging.
