About Me

I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from NYU Tandon School of Engineering and currently teach Software Engineering as an adjunct professor. I have over 5 years of experience tutoring students in computer science, covering topics such as Java, data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented programming. I am especially passionate about helping students build confidence in problem-solving and develop a strong foundation in programming concepts. My teaching philosophy is hands-on and personalized: I use clear explanations, worked examples, and exercises tailored to each student's learning style. I also draw from my experience as a software engineer, having built web applications and interactive platforms, which allows me to connect real-world applications to the concepts we cover. I enjoy guiding students through challenges, helping them see progress, and making learning both effective and engaging. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring creative coding projects, virtual reality experiences, sports and teamwork from my track background, and traveling to experience new cultures.
