About Shanzay

Hey everyone! I’m really happy that you’re considering me as your tutor. I know from experience that school, whether in high school or university can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to fall behind. I know how much of a difference it makes to have someone who can guide you in the right direction. That’s exactly what I hope to do for you.

I’m a Master’s student in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, and I’ve had the opportunity to tutor students from different parts of the world. My teaching experience spans across high school subjects like math, physics, chemistry, and computer science, as well as more advanced undergraduate topics. I’ve helped students navigate complex areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction, Security & Privacy, and fundamental courses like Object-Oriented Programming, Data Structures, Computer Organization, and Databases. Additionally, I specialize in Human-Centered Design, Interaction, and Data Science.
My structured, engaging approach simplifies programming concepts, ensuring students gain confidence, problem-solving skills, and real-world coding proficiency in a supportive learning environment. Looking forward to helping you reach your goals!

About the lesson

I take a hands-on, problem-solving approach to teaching computer science and programming, ensuring that students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. My lessons incorporate concept breakdowns, live coding, and interactive exercises, all tailored to the needs of university students, beginners, and school-going children. With a first-class honours degree in Computer Science and five years of teaching experience, I focus on making learning engaging, clear, and applicable to real-world scenarios. My teaching methodology emphasizes interactive learning, using digital resources, visual aids, real-world examples, and customized lesson plans that adapt to each student’s learning style—whether visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. I provide regular feedback and conduct low-pressure assessments to track progress, adjusting my approach accordingly. A typical lesson includes a structured flow: an introduction to outline objectives, followed by instruction through demonstrations and relatable examples, interactive exercises for hands-on learning, a summary to reinforce key takeaways, and a Q&A session for clarifications. My adaptability, experience, and commitment to staying updated with the latest educational trends set me apart, along with my patience and ability to foster a supportive learning environment. Whether helping undergraduate students with advanced CS topics or guiding high school students through programming fundamentals and exam preparation, my goal is to instill confidence, inspire a love for learning, and equip students with skills for both academic and professional success.
