About

Hello, my name is Rohan! I have experience with both Python and tutoring Python. I have also completed CS50P offered by Harvard. This course is intended for beginners who want to learn Python and get started. We will have sessions twice a week for around 3-4 weeks. Sessions and times are flexible, so please message me if you want to change dates/times. Topics we will cover range from syntax all the way to loops and exceptions! No programming experience is required, hope to see you there!

About the Tutor

Hello, my name is Rohan! I am from New Jersey, and I am currently a high schooler. My goal on Schoolhouse is to help other students like me learn and be prepared for anything. My passion lies in machine learning (ML), and I have researched everything ML! (from model training techniques, hyperparameter tuning, and fine-tuning after the training process). Additionally, I enjoy software engineering on a broader level, with interests in competitive programming (USACO), web development, and efficiency with everything I create! During my free time, I am an avid videogame player, with multiple "Platinum" trophies on the hardest games of the decade. I have also played piano for 6 years and arrange my favorite video game tracks on piano (like "Escaping a Foul Prescence" from Ori 2, "Abyss Watchers" from Dark Souls 3, and "Final Battle" from Elden Ring as great examples)! Going outside the house, I play goalkeeper for my high school soccer team and I am a varsity swimmer. In addition to computer science, I also love mathematics, so if you have any questions about any High School Mathematics, Machine Learning, Python, or Java, feel free to ask me and I will try to get back to you with answers! Happy learning everyone! - Rohan
