May 2023 - Present

Teaching has always been a big part of my life, and I'm equally enthusiastic about the process of learning itself. I'm constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and share it with others. It's this intersection of learning and teaching that truly excites me.

As an instructor, I've had the privilege of teaching a variety of programming languages, such as Python, Java, and mobile app development using Flutter. My students typically range from K-12 students, and I engage with them through various educational formats – from 16-week classes to after-school programs, weekend workshops, and even summer camps. My goal is to make sure these young learners grasp the essential coding principles, and I've found that breaking down complex ideas into simpler, more understandable parts is key.

What I find most rewarding is not just imparting knowledge but fostering a genuine understanding and interest in the subject matter. When students truly get why they're learning something, it sets a strong foundation for their future growth as programmers and creative problem solvers.

In my classes, I'm a big advocate for hands-on learning. I encourage my students to apply what they've learned through practical exercises and projects. This approach not only reinforces their knowledge but also sparks their creativity.

Beyond technical skills, I emphasize problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking because these skills are valuable not only in coding but also in life. It's fulfilling to see my students grow as proficient coders and well-rounded individuals who are curious and ready to tackle challenges.
