About

I've been active on Khan Academy for about 5 years now and wanted to give back to the community. I've tutored a few of my friends and enjoy teaching and explaining subjects, but I don't want to be a teacher. I have my fair share of commitments such as school/after school activities and sports, so I may not be online as often.

Some of my hobbies include computer science, where I find endless fascination in coding, problem-solving, and developing innovative solutions. I focus on competitive programming like USACO in my spare time. I play soccer as well, which has been a part of my life since I was young, and I enjoy the rush of scoring goals, the strategic maneuvering on the field, and the camaraderie with my teammates.

By integrating these diverse interests, I've developed a unique perspective that combines creativity with analytical thinking, teamwork with independent problem-solving, and physical strength with mental agility. I'm always excited to take on new challenges, expand my horizons, and make a positive impact in both the digital and physical realms.

I have also achieved 1580 on my October 2023 Paper SAT with a 800 Math 780 RW Split.

Feel free to message me anytime if you need help or have questions.

I liked how you asked the learners what prior experience they had with programming at the beginning. An example of that was when Yu had some Python experience but none with C++ so far. I also liked how during the code demos you asked the learners if they would do something next or why you did something or what the result is. Keep it up! See if you can make your next sessions even better by asking these questions to the learners in a deeper way. Consider that they might learn better if they are more involved in answering questions on their own. For example, you could make a practice problem on a slide and switch to that after you do a code demo. Then, the learners put their answer in the chat or you ask one of them what their answer is and how they got it. If you're having trouble switching between code demos and slides then you could also put practice problem slides at the end or make a Schoolhouse assessment to gauge the learners' progress. Either way, I can't wait to see your next sessions!

Hi John! I'm reviewing your C++ session today. Something you did great here in your session was to explain the C++ content in a way where you can see some of the underlying concepts. I know C++ has tons of weird, tricky underlying concepts, so I liked that you covered some of them here. For example, when you say why we use int for an integer type, which is because it's simple and small, as well as because that's just what the integer type symbol is defined as. Something that might improve your next sessions is if you included some visuals in addition to doing the hands-on code demos. With purpose-made aids, such as charts of types, learners might be able to better understand these underlying concepts such as the dizzying array of different types you can choose from in C++. If you find that this helps then run with it for all your next programming sessions!

Thank you for helping me today! I really appreciate how you call on everyone and that you help us understand where we went wrong rather than just telling us the correct answer.
