About Kareem
I'm a software engineer with 5 years of experience at Amazon Web Services, following a research career with papers published in top peer-reviewed journals. At AWS, I led a team of engineers and am the primary author of Litani, an open-source tool used by 22 teams at Amazon to help ensure that their code is free from bugs.
Teaching and programming are twin passions for me. Programming is more than an activity: it's a way of thinking and perceiving the world. Some people find it easier to slip into that frame of mind, though it doesn't come naturally to anybody. The only thing more rewarding than "getting it" for the first time is watching a student have that same moment, and seeing their face light up at the moment of insight. My primary motivation is helping people experience the feelings of agency, satisfaction, and pride that programming manifests.

You 🫵 are the most important determinant of our lesson format and structure. I will use our first session to learn what your goals are, your timeframe, your preferred learning styles and what motivates you and keeps you excited. This will help to inform whether we pursue a mini-project with particular features; improve foundational skills with focused programming exercises; contribute to open-source software; or start with introductory material for those who are new to programming.
Lessons start from one hour, typically once every 1-2 weeks. Time can fly on certain projects and it sometimes makes more sense to have longer or more frequent sessions; it's entirely down to your goals and way of working.
I'm happy to offer lessons over a video call, sharing our screens while we code. I'm also able to travel throughout London for in-person lessons, which (especially for introductory programming) can be much more effective for learning and retaining knowledge. In either case, I'm available throughout the week for advice and reviews about any project that we're collaborating on, e.g. via GitHub, Sourcehut, or just over email.
Prior to joining Superprof, I have extensive teaching experience with adults and children, as a programming instructor and working as a teaching assistant for undergraduate Computer Science modules. This includes:
* teaching at Wonga Codemakers, a week-long summer camp for children ages 13-15;
* volunteering at events such as CoderDojo Girls and Think Computer Science, using Scratch with primary-age children and Python for teenagers
* tuition for adults at Codebar workshops, which help people from underrepresented backgrounds learn programming and engineering
I've been a teaching assistant for the following Computer Science modules, including lab work, lecturing, and creating exercises:
University College London
* 2nd Year Compilers
* 1st Year Introductory Programming
* 1st Year Robotics
Queen Mary University of London
* 2nd Year Software Engineering Project
* 1st Year Compilers and Automata
* 1st Year Object Oriented Programming
* 1st Year Introductory Programming
* Student Mentor and Student Mentor Coordiantor
