About Gaurav

I recently graduated from California State University, Long Beach with my bachelor's degree in computer science. I first became interested in teaching way back in middle school - my English teacher handed out extra credit if we'd make PowerPoint lessons covering the week's vocabulary words and I really enjoyed making and presenting them. My key reason for enjoying teaching has always been that it gives me great joy when someone learns how to do something new. I especially like it when someone takes the knowledge I give them and uses it to create something entirely new. My first foray with tutoring was in high school, where I tutored fellow students - I was an advanced math student, and I'd tutor students taking regular or remedial courses. I then worked for an after-school program that runs similar to High Performance Tutoring, teaching kids in weekly lessons in a self-paced format. Finally, I started the School Outreach program at the Women in Computing student organization at my college. We travel to local middle schools and teach children (especially girls) how to program on LEGO Mindstorms SPIKE robots. I was quite proud when I learned that all of the coding competition winners at the 2023 regional event held at my college came from the class we'd reached out to that fall.
