About the lesson

As an incoming Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Utah—an institution ranked among the top in the world for research in machine learning systems and high-performance computing (MLSys/HPC)—my teaching philosophy is shaped by both academic training and pedagogical experience. My objective as a tutor is to help students cultivate durable intellectual tools, not merely acquire surface-level familiarity with current technologies.

Far too often, computer science education is reduced to the acquisition of transient skills tied to specific languages, frameworks, or trends. In contrast, my instructional approach is rooted in computational thinking: the structured reasoning, abstraction, and problem decomposition that form the conceptual foundation of the discipline. These are the skills that persist, regardless of the tools in vogue.

I hold an Honours Bachelor of Science with Distinction from the University of Toronto, where I completed a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics. I have served as a teaching assistant for multiple undergraduate courses, supporting both large classroom instruction and individualized learning through office hours and tutorials. My teaching contributions were recognized through a departmental nomination for a teaching assistant award, and I have participated in undergraduate research on computer science pedagogy. My background also includes several years of industry experience as a software engineer, which informs my ability to bridge theory with practical application.

This is not a tutoring service focused on short-term outcomes or rote technical training. It is intended for students who are serious about developing a rigorous understanding of the subject and for parents who value long-term intellectual growth over momentary performance. To ensure alignment between my teaching approach and the student’s goals, I offer the first session at no cost.
