Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a Master’s degree in Computer Science from San Jose State University. I have been actively involved in teaching people from all walks of life, as a freelancer and I have tutored students in various platforms such as computer programming, Mobile Development (iOS), Linux shell scripting, ScratchJr, Scratch 3, Java, Python, Web development etc.
I am also a freelance music teacher and have been teaching students South Indian Classical Music, both as online and in-person classes for the past 3 years in the USA and for the past 10 years in India.
I love teaching and I make learning fun and do not believe in being strict and stern with the students. I also believe in "learning through examples"- meaning, I think of and give real-world examples to which the students can relate to so that they find it easy to understand the concepts being taught.
Now I am passionate about passing on my technical skills along with theoretical knowledge to my students and achieving the next level of success.
Apart from this, I have three beautiful kids, a 7-year old, a 4-year old and a 2-year old. I love doing experiments at home with my kids and teaching them. We learn together and have lots of fun and squeals of laughter.
