Computer Science Tutor - Patient & Kind - Full-Stack, Leetcode, APIs

Allina K.

I’m a software engineer with over 2 years of full-time experience at BlackRock, one of the world’s top fintech firms. I have a Computer Science degree from Brooklyn College and specialize in data structures, algorithms, and modern web development using TypeScript, JavaScript, and React.

I love helping college students and aspiring engineers truly understand CS fundamentals. Whether you're struggling with assignments, prepping for coding interviews, or trying to build full-stack apps, I tailor sessions to meet your needs.

I’ve worked with 12+ long-term tutoring clients and have experience tutoring:
Data Structures & Algorithms (C++ and Javascript especially)
Intro to Programming (any language)
Web Development (React, APIs, debugging in any language)
Object Oriented Programming

While working at BlackRock, I regularly pair-programmed with engineers and debugged 100+ real-world issues—experience I bring to every tutoring session. I can also help with:
Building and troubleshooting React apps
Understanding core JS/TS concepts like closures, async/await, DOM, etc.
Debugging and reviewing code for assignments or personal projects
Whiteboard/interview prep using Leetcode, HackerRank, and mock questions

I'm patient, kind, and focused on helping you build deep understanding. Coming from a low-income background, I’m committed to offering affordable, high-quality tutoring and sharing the resources that helped me succeed.

Let’s work together—I’m here to help you reach your goals!
