Certified Tutor

As a passionate advocate for education and lifelong learning, I find great joy in helping students unlock their full potential. With over two decades of experience in the field of computer science and engineering, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of students, guiding them through their academic journeys and helping them achieve their goals.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and a Master's degree in Computer Science from Florida Atlantic University. My academic background has provided me with a solid foundation in various subjects, including mathematics, programming, and data structures. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to tutor students in these subjects, as well as in standardized test preparation, helping them build confidence and improve their performance.

Among the subjects I tutor, I am particularly passionate about teaching programming and computer science. I enjoy seeing the moment of realization in my students' eyes when they grasp a complex concept or solve a challenging problem. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, clarity, and encouragement. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs and learning style, ensuring that they not only understand the material but also develop a genuine interest in the subject.

Outside of academia, I am a dedicated family person who loves spending time with my two daughters. I also enjoy reading about advancements in technology, participating in coding competitions, and exploring new software development tools and techniques. These interests keep me updated with the latest trends in the tech world, which I bring into my tutoring sessions to provide relevant and practical examples.

Education is a powerful tool that can transform lives, and I am committed to helping my students harness this power. Whether it's through mastering a new programming language, excelling in math, or preparing for an important exam, I strive to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience for each of my students.
