Teacher expertise and credentials
Classes I Teach
I specialize in teaching Python programming, covering a wide range of topics from basic syntax and data structures to advanced concepts like object-oriented programming, web development, and data analysis. Additionally, I offer classes in math, reading, and writing, helping students excel in multiple subjects.

Professional Background
With over five years of tutoring experience, I have successfully guided students through their academic journeys in high school and college, as well as through other platforms. My expertise is backed by a CRLA Certification, and I have been honored with the Employee of the Year award for my exceptional tutoring services at my college.
