Hello!

My name is Jaya. I am a graduate of Barnard College with degrees in Computer Science and English (Creative Writing), and have spent several years working at the intersection between journalism and technology before winning a Fulbright grant to teach English at the University of Málaga in Spain. There, I taught and planned classes for Spanish students both at the university and in private one-on-one lessons. But my teaching experience spans the length of my career: I volunteered teaching computer science at a high school in Brooklyn, worked as a teaching assistant in college, and my first-ever job was working as a tutor at Kumon.

My approach to teaching is tailored to each student and their specific needs and objectives. In general, though, I aim to make my lessons both creative and practical, focused on reaching educational goals and desired outcomes. I am always open to feedback, suggestions, or additional learning resources that students or parents might find useful. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule your first lesson!

I worked as a Senior Software Engineer at the Washington Post, creating data pipelines in Python for be consumed and displayed on thousands of elections results pages. I also developed a full-stack tool for the newsroom to independently administer elections, using React. Outside of official professional experience, I have also built a number of hobby projects using Node.js, React, Python, and plain JavaScript in order to independently improve my skills.
Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I graduated with a concentration in Creative Writing, a competitive program within the English major at Barnard, and wrote several short stories, including a culminating thesis. Over the past year, I've worked as a tutor at the University of Málaga's Writing Center, and in my free time often enjoy editing friends' papers and essays. I still write creatively on my own time, and love encouraging the same creativity in others!
