"I earned my BS in Computer Science with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Arizona, graduating summa cum laude. I also have hands-on experience as a backend developer at IBM.

I understand that computer science can be challenging, but my goal is to make it more approachable and engaging. Whether you're struggling with algorithms, data structures, or debugging an assignment, I can help you break down complex concepts into clear, digestible steps.

My approach starts with stepping back to fully understand the problem—- its specifications, constraints, and assumptions. From there, we can brainstorm possible solutions and identify how to apply previously learned concepts. I provide guidance, help clarify underlying principles, and serve as a sounding board to refine ideas throughout the problem-solving process.

I bring a unique perspective, having previously tutored high school students in both Chemistry and Computer Science one-on-one. Additionally, I have experience coaching students of all ages through one-on-one cycling skills sessions and group clinics, which has strengthened my ability to teach in a patient, adaptable, and structured way." less...
