Georgia Tech Computer Science Graduate

Shachi J.

I am a Georgia Tech graduate with a B.S. in Computer Science with a concentration in Intelligence and Devices, and a minor in Business and Management. Throughout my academic career, I've developed a strong foundation in programming languages such as Python, Java, and C++, and applied these skills in real-world settings through internships and full time jobs. These experiences have allowed me to translate technical concepts into accessible knowledge, something I bring into every tutoring session.

During college, I tutored fellow students in Computer Science subjects like Python programming, object-oriented programming, and data structures. I also supported students in math courses including Algebra I & II and Linear Algebra. Most of my tutoring took place in one-on-one settings, either through informal peer mentoring or structured campus programs. I took a student-centered approach—breaking down difficult concepts using visuals, real-world analogies, and lots of practice—so learners could build both confidence and technical fluency.

In addition to academic tutoring, I spent four years working with a nonprofit focused on teaching programming to underrepresented youth. There, I taught middle and high school students fundamental coding concepts and project-based learning in small groups and classroom-style settings. This experience shaped my passion for making STEM education more accessible and reinforced the value of clear, empathetic instruction. I enjoy tailoring my approach to the needs of each student, ensuring they not only improve their grades but gain a genuine understanding of the material.
