Tutor Qualifications
I have experience programming in Python for a year, C++ for 3 years, and competitive programming for over a year. I have experience with competitive programming competitions such as the American Computer Science League (ACSL), United States of America Computing Olympiad (USACO), and some Codeforces contests. When learning Python, I worked on numerous projects that helped me master the fundamentals of Python. During the 2022-2023 USACO Contests, I passed the Bronze Division with a perfect score and got some Silver Division problems partially right.
