About

Welcome everyone!! This course will cover basic Python topics such as variables, loops, conditional statements, arrays, basic data structures, and more. We will practice these concepts through fun projects we will do in class. We will use Python 3. There is no prior programming experience required for this course.

Tutor Qualifications

I am proficient in Python. I used Python for the United States of America Computing Olympiad and reached the Silver Division. I also taught Python to Salvation Army students. I also used Python to create a program that allowed people with motor function disabilities to control a computer using their head movement. The project won 4th place at the California Science and Engineering Fair.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please avoid missing more than 1 class as you will fall behind. However, if you need to miss a class, please try to let me know 24 hours in advance.

If you have more than 1 unexcused absence, I may have to withdraw you from the course as there could be other students willing to register for this course.
