"Hello! I am Zahra. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Southern California (USC), where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA. During my time at USC, I was honored to be part of the Master’s Honors Program, a distinction awarded to the top master’s students. My strong academic foundation is complemented by professional experience as a Software Engineer at Meta (Facebook), where I worked on software engineering and large-scale machine learning projects. This industry experience has enriched my technical knowledge and deepened my appreciation for mentoring and teaching.

With two years of experience as a Teaching Assistant at USC, I have taught both undergraduate and graduate-level computer science courses, including Machine Learning for Data Science, Applications of Machine Learning, and Software Design and Optimization. My role involved designing assignments, leading lab sessions, and holding one-on-one office hours to assist students with coursework, programming challenges, and exam preparation. Additionally, I provided extra review sessions before exams, ensuring that students fully grasped key concepts through sample tests and discussions.

My tutoring approach is structured and adaptive. I begin by breaking down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand explanations. I then introduce real-world examples and step-by-step problem-solving techniques to reinforce learning. My goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident in their ability to master computer science and programming topics. Whether you're looking for help with Python programming, algorithms, data science, or machine learning, I am committed to providing personalized guidance that meets your learning needs.
