Heyya!

I’m currently a UI Web Developer at an energy company in Toronto. I come from a designing background which involves working with software like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Audition and Xd. At school, I hated coding because of the calculations, although funnily, I managed to graduate. I was super intimidated by mathematics. I always thought coding was terrifying until I actually gave it a shot by applying and being hired as a Web Production Artist position at TVO. As I started my job and got in-depth, I went crazy for coding. I immediately fell in love with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I came to realize that my logical mind was destined to code and mathematics was not so intimidating.

In my career, I gained two and a half years of experience and counting as a developer and three years of experience as an interactive media designer. Since I love designing and programming, I always found a fusion of responsibilities in the industry to keep things interesting. I’ve done abundant tutoring on math, science and chemistry to the children of aged 5-15. I know! Math! I taught the children well because I was a super learner in high school. I’ve also tutored my fellow students at Durham College during my PG.

I personally love creative learning, and can completely understand the approaches required to teach a child. I’m very approachable and understanding with a child-like mentality. I would love to see the latest kids excel in their future! I’m here to do my best in helping them grow and share every bit of my knowledge.

Hello,

I am a software engineering student at Carleton University. I am well versed in Object Oriented Programming (OOP), functional programming, algorithms and data structures, and web development. I have taught coding and app making in the past using Scratch, MIT AppInventor, and Python. I also also did a 1 year internship at Magnet Forensics and learned a lot about the Digital Forensics Investigative Reporting (DFIR) industry. I am interested in doing research for AI in Cyber Security in the future and really like working in Security and Investigations. I am a big fan of reverse engineering, finding solutions to real world problems, and entrepreneurship through software.

I am also passionate about the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) movement in STEAM, Women in STEM, and promoting the world of computer science to young children.

Hello!

I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a post-graduate diploma in Game Development. I have always liked programming and have always wanted to be a programmer. I studied Computer Science for that reason and studied Game Development also. I have a passion for game/coding/ AR/VR. When I’m not thinking about computer science and gaming, my hobbies are traveling and fitness. I want to encourage students to do their best. I got into teaching in the first place to pass on my own knowledge and personal experiences. I believe this may be one of the biggest joys of teaching!
