Hired as a sophomore by the head of the programming department due to my exceptional classwork, I began my journey as a programming tutor. Initially, I stepped in for an absent professor, managing the class and ensuring he could call in remotely. Despite many students being older than me, I helped them navigate the coursework and grasp challenging concepts. This early experience allowed me to develop strong teaching skills and build confidence in guiding others. My role quickly expanded beyond classroom support, marking the start of a fulfilling path where I contributed significantly to the academic success of my peers while continuously improving my own understanding of programming languages and tools.

Throughout my time as a programming tutor, I provided extensive support to college students struggling with C# and C++ projects. I guided them through using tools like Visual Studio, VS Code, WPF, Anaconda, Unity, and Monogame. My role involved breaking down complex topics and assisting with various projects, helping students overcome confusion and complete challenging assignments. This hands-on experience not only honed my technical skills but also reinforced my ability to communicate effectively and patiently. I became one of the most booked tutors at the school, earning high recommendations and trust from the students I assisted.
