Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first thing to do before starting to teach is to get to know the student. That covers 50% of the process and the rest is shaped based on the student. How student can focus and learn? I mostly prefer to teach by doing. Also teaching from the experience is one of the most effective ways to grab students' attention and I have loads of experience to share.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Database and Data Analytics. I then found my passion in software engineering. I started my journey in a startup company and then worked for PayPal. The company that I currently work for is Uber which is one of the leading companies in the tech industry.
Besides that, I have a year of tutoring experience. I used to teach elementary school students in an Indian Cultural center and enjoyed my time there.
