3.9+ GPA Engineering Student with 8 Years of Teaching eEperience

Mustafa D.

I'm a Computer Science student at Michigan State University with a 3.9 GPA and over two years of hands-on teaching experience across multiple countries, age groups, and subjects. My tutoring background spans mathematics (Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I through III, and Linear Algebra), as well as Computer Science, Python, C programming, and HTML. I currently work as an Instructional Facilitator at MSU through the Michigan GEAR UP program, supporting high school students with academic preparedness and critical thinking skills. Before that, I served as a Teaching Assistant at Chongqing University of Post and Telecommunications in China, where I taught C Programming to undergraduate students in a classroom setting for 6 months.
Prior to university, I spent seven months as a private tutor in Karachi working one-on-one with O Level and secondary school students across a wide range of subjects including Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, and English. That experience taught me how to adapt quickly to different learning styles and how to explain the same concept five different ways until one lands. My approach is concept-first: before I introduce a formula or write a line of code, I make sure the student understands the underlying idea and why it matters. Intuition first, mechanics second.
I work primarily with high school students preparing for exams and college students in STEM programs navigating required coursework. All sessions are one-on-one via video call, which lets me pace each lesson around the individual student rather than a fixed curriculum.
