Bio
Born into a family of teachers, and having escaped the trap of underachievement, I am empathetic to the needs of students. I enjoy problems, and am ready to bring out the joy in my students too!
I have personal experience facilitating critical thinking workshops for high school students, as well as tutoring mathematics and computer programming. I don't shortcut the learning process by doing the work for students - instead helping them come to their own conclusions organically. I use recommend learning strategies like spaced repetition and active recall, and of course use motivation!

Computer Programming
Computer Science 2A and 2B encompass a thorough grounding in fundamental data structures, and network-oriented programming in the object oriented language Java, with both theoretical and practical uses of the associated protocols, topologies and technologies (data communications with the OSI model)
Java
Designing Data Structures and Algorithms to be efficient is well-recognised as a key component of any CS curriculum. Learning these topics ideally requires understanding about basic high-level language constructs -- but focuses on abstract data structures that are independent of specific language.
