I am a passionate cs student who recently completed third yr honors. I tutored and TAed for 320, achieved the second highest mark on the final exam for 340 (1), and the highest integer-rounded overall mark for the course (2).
95% in 320
96% in 340
96% math + cs average
I like to teach difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand way, without relying on using big words or fancy definitions that only confuse people more. I always prioritize understanding and reasoning over memorizing answers to past assessments. I will teach the exact problem solving technique/procedure that I used to solve every single question on the tests when I took those courses. Anyone looking to improve their skills and solve harder problems from these courses should look no further.
Sources:
(1) prof lehrmann who was one of the profs that taught my 340 section
(2) ubc grades (2022w term 2, which are sections 201 and 202)
rates: very negotiable, but generally around 50-60/hr ish
availability: weekends, or weekday nights
