Personal Statement

Since January 2021, I have been working as a Computer Science tutor on this website. In 2022 and 2023 I worked as a teaching assistant at Passaic County Community College and assisted different STEM classes. In 2024 I worked as a computer science teacher/instructor at a local business known as `Code Ninjas` which was a learning center for kids who were interested in learning how to code (block based and text based coding). In total, I have tutored in the following subjects: C++, Python, Java, Scratch Coding, Microsoft MakeCode Arcade Coding, Basic Algebra, HTML, CSS, Discrete Math 1, JavaScript, Swift, and SQL.

From January 2019 to now, I've helped out over 50 students (combining students at my college and students from superprof). After attending several tutoring sessions with me, many of them improved their grades in their programming classes and developed their own big functional projects with my advice. My practical experience has been through the classes I’ve taken at my college and in personal projects I did over the past several years. Most recently in the 2023-2024 years, I’ve created a custom Pong clone called Azetude in JavaScript, my own Frogger game in Python, a game recommendation ML app in Jupyter Notebooks, a chatbot AI app, a Breakout game, and many more projects. I received my Computer Science associate's degree in May 2021 and my Computer Science bachelor's degree in March 2024.
