Hi there! I'm a recent graduate from the University of Pittsburgh with a double major in Computer Science and Data Science. During my time in college, I took courses like Java programming, data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design, which closely align with what’s taught in high school and college-level CS classes. I also worked as a peer tutor, helping fellow Pitt students one-on-one with Java and data structures, so I’m very familiar with the kinds of struggles students face...
Hi there! I'm a recent graduate from the University of Pittsburgh with a double major in Computer Science and Data Science. During my time in college, I took courses like Java programming, data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design, which closely align with what’s taught in high school and college-level CS classes. I also worked as a peer tutor, helping fellow Pitt students one-on-one with Java and data structures, so I’m very familiar with the kinds of struggles students face and how to guide them through them. Right now, I work as a Software Developer, where I use the same principles I teach every day.
I love making complex topics feel simple and approachable. Whether you’re trying to wrap your head around loops and variables or looking to polish your code for an AP CS project, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build confidence as a programmer. I also published a mobile app on the App Store called DiabetesAndMe, which helps me connect textbook concepts to real-world development. My goal is always to make tutoring feel less like a lecture and more like a conversation where you're learning by doing and actually enjoying the process.
My teaching style is laid-back and adaptable. Some students need to see concepts drawn out visually, while others learn best by jumping into the code and exploring hands-on. I'm a big believer in building strong debugging skills because, let’s be honest, programming is often about figuring out what went wrong and why. I want you to feel confident tackling problems on your own, not just memorizing solutions.
