Tutoring for Comp Sci High
SAT Math Tutoring
Comp Sci High is the first charter, CTE, computer science high school in the state of New York. Their mission is to ensure every student graduates with a college acceptance letter, high-tech skills, real work experience, and a plan to turn those opportunities into a successful career. At Comp Sci High, students build knowledge, skills, and maturity through a demanding curriculum, regular contact with industry professionals, real work experience, and an advisory program that builds confidence and independence.
In my first year working with Comp Sci High, I created over 40 hours' worth of instructional videos for students enrolled in the SAT Math class. I also compiled problem sets and answer keys in a written format to accompany my solution videos.
AP Computer Science A Tutoring
In my sophomore year, I was enrolled in the class and took the exam for AP Computer Science A. Computer Science has always been a big part of my life, and my experience in FIRST robotics as the lead programmer meant I had already been exposed to Java programming in the past.
Because of this, Comp. Sci High asked me if I was willing to peer-tutor eleventh graders in AP CSA. I happily agreed and took on several students who I have formed close bonds with. This year, I completed around twenty 90-minute tutoring sessions with like-minded peers at Comp Sci High. to get them ready for the big exam in May!

Hackathon Mentoring
During my spring break, I traveled to New York to accompany four of the brightest AP CSA students from Comp Sci High to a college-only hackathon - HackPrinceton. These four students were specially invited and I served as their project manager, overseeing the project's progress over the 36 straight hours of hacking. Not only did they improve their speed-coding abilities but they also won the best beginner hack award.Â
