"I am an IT professional with 15 years of experience in software engineering, complex problem-solving, and mentoring, which makes me uniquely qualified to tutor in Python, SQL/Relational Databases, Algorithms, Logic, and Discrete Mathematics. I am a CompTIA Security+ certified Cybersecurity Analyst.

I have hands-on experience tutoring college students at Columbus State and HarvardX's CS50, where I provided guidance on topics such as programming, algorithms, mathematics, and data structures. I serve as a Mentor for learners worldwide in HarvardX’s CS50 program, helping CS50's students master Python, Artificial Intelligence, and problem-solving techniques. This has given me the ability to teach students of all ages and levels, tailoring my lessons to meet their unique needs and learning styles.

My educational background includes graduating cum laude with an Associate of Science in Computer Science from Columbus State, earning certifications in multiple programming languages languages via Columbus State and HackerRank, and being chosen as a student mentor for Python and Artificial Intelligence through HarvardX’s CS50 program. I am currently pursuing dual Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at The Ohio State University, which strengthens my expertise in foundational and advanced concepts.

What sets me apart as a tutor is my approach to teaching. Rather than simply providing answers, I empower students to think critically, discover solutions, and build confidence in their problem solving abilities. I focus on identifying where students are struggling and guiding them through these challenges with thought-provoking questions and hand-made problem sets. I have a passion for helping students figure it out and see their a-ha moments. My combination of practical experience, strong academic background, and passion for teaching allows me to provide a learning environment that is both engaging and effective." less...
