"Hi, I am Yavuz. I hold a Master of Science (MS) in Geographic Information Systems from Istanbul Technical University. I have completed the Google/Data Analytics Professional Program. I have earned various certifications, such as Scrum Master, Google Certified Educator, CMMI Associate, and Six Sigma Yellow Belt.

In addition to my extensive experience in the IT and GIS fields, I am deeply passionate about education and have actively engaged in tutoring and teaching endeavors. As an academic coach at the Citizenship and Science Academy of Rochester, I guided and mentored students and staff to embrace new technologies and enhance their learning experience.

Moreover, I am an active tutor at a non-profit organization in IT education, where I have been teaching students coding with Scratch. I have honed my ability to break down complex concepts into manageable steps, making coding fun and accessible to aspiring young minds.

My teaching experience spans various age groups, from young students learning to code with Scratch to military personnel and students at different academic levels. I have been teaching for more than two decades, starting from my role as a Computer Lesson Instructor at the Military Band High School. I have engaged in both classroom settings and one-on-one coaching, tailoring my approach to the specific needs of the learners.

As an academic coach, IT professional, and coding tutor, I aim to combine my technical expertise with my passion for education to inspire and empower learners of all ages. My strong analytical abilities, project management skills, and commitment to continuous learning contribute to my ability to positively impact students' educational journeys, encouraging them to explore the exciting world of coding and technology." less...
