Personal Statement

Hello! My name is Jamil from New York City and I'm excited to be your next tutor! I'm a professional software engineer working in the Ed Tech industry and hold engineering degrees from both NYU and Columbia University. I began tutoring when I was an undergraduate and worked for various departments at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering. I helped students grasp and solve problems in computer science, programming, computer architecture and math. In addition to University students, I also tutored primary school students for years in reading, math and writing. When I was an undergraduate, I saw firsthand the lack of help available in advanced engineering courses. In order to meet my academic goals, I had to learn how to learn fast and teach myself. Along the way, I discovered various tricks to solving problems and tackling exams. As a way to reinforce my own learning, I signed up to be a tutor for those very same classes. I have tutored with or personally used languages like Python, Java, C, C++, PHP and Ruby. I look forward to those moments when a student `gets it,` which motivates not just them but myself as well. Whether you're looking to catch up or get ahead, know that you've made the right choice with me as your tutor.
