Tutor Qualifications
I have been programming in C++ for 2.5 years, and competitively programming for about a year. I have experience with competitive programming competitions such as the American Computer Science League (ACSL), the United States of America Computing Olympiad (USACO), and some Codeforces contests. During the 2022-2023 USACO Contests, I passed the Bronze Division with a perfect score and got some Silver Division problems partially right, so I view myself well acquainted with fundamental algorithms like binary search, DFS (depth-first search), BFS (breadth-first search), and more. I'm excited to teach learners how to think algorithmically when solving problems and implement these algorithms to code.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Learners should have prior knowledge of C++, Java, or Python. If you were a member of my previous C++ Bootcamp series in Schoolhouse, you'll be proficient to join as well, as the series, as I mentioned in the orientation, can be considered a prerequisite for this series.
I expect learners to join every session, and 2 unexcused absences will result in withdrawals. I may host occasional office hours, but there will be no catchup sessions. Office hours will be used to help with the optional practice problems I will be giving out at the end of every session, not to help catch up on what learners missed.

About the Tutor
Hi, I'm Jimmy! I'm a junior in high school interested in learning and teaching math and computer science I also teach SAT Bootcamps and other enrichment topics. In my free time, I like to play sports like running and soccer, watch movies (love Nolan films), and read classic books (Dostoyevsky is my favorite). I look forward to teaching you!
