College student specializing in Computer Science & Math

Harshita S.

I am a freshman at the University of Maryland, College Park, pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics. My coursework includes Calculus BC (5/5), Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Data Structures, AP Chemistry, AP Computer Science A, Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism (5/5), Physics C: Mechanics (5/5), AP Microeconomics (5/5), AP Macroeconomics (5/5), AP Environmental Science (5/5), AP Language, and advanced classes in app development and VR game design. I am an AP Scholar with Distinction and a member of multiple subject-specific honors societies in math, science, computer science, and English, as well as the National Honor Society, and I have a 1500+ SAT score.

I have tutored middle and high school students in mathematics and computer science, as well as supported peers in college courses. I have taught in volunteer programs and STEM clubs, including XSTEM and Girls Who Code, where I led workshops in web development, Python, data science, and VR game development, and organized hackathons and pitch competitions. My approach is patient, structured, and conversational: I guide students through examples and step-by-step reasoning while encouraging them to think actively and build confidence.

I have experience teaching in both one-on-one sessions and group workshops, with learners ranging from early middle school to college peers. Whether reviewing algebra, explaining linear algebra proofs, or guiding programming projects, I create a supportive environment where questions are welcomed. My goal is to help students understand concepts deeply, develop problem-solving skills, and gain confidence to learn independently and excel academically.
