About Shu-Hsuan
Learning Data Structures and Algorithms can be incredibly challenging when you're on your own. I know because I've been there, spending the past year dedicated to mastering these concepts through consistent practice and determination. As someone who's solved 736 problems across all difficulty levels on LeetCode, I understand the frustration of hitting roadblocks without proper guidance. My journey to reaching the top 4.29% globally wasn't easy, but it taught me how to break down complex problems into manageable steps. Today's tech interviews rely heavily on DSA skills, and having a structured approach makes all the difference. In our 45-minute sessions, I'll share the strategies that helped me succeed, tailored to your specific needs and learning style. I'm passionate about helping others avoid the pitfalls I encountered during my self-taught journey. With my SMU Computer Science background and practical experience, I can provide the guidance that transforms this difficult process into an achievable goal. Let me help you build the problem-solving confidence that will serve you throughout your tech career, whether you're preparing for interviews or simply wanting to strengthen your programming foundation.

1. Concept Clarification: I begin by ensuring students have a solid grasp of fundamental concepts, using visual aids and real-world analogies to make abstract ideas concrete.
2. Problem-Solving Strategies: Rather than focusing solely on solutions, I teach systematic approaches to problem-solving. I guide students through pattern recognition, algorithm selection, and optimization techniques that can be applied across various problem types. My consistent practice has helped me develop frameworks that work for problems at all difficulty levels.
3. Implementation Practice: Theory without practice is ineffective. I incorporate hands-on coding sessions where students implement solutions in real-time, with immediate feedback and guidance.
Lesson Structure and Duration
My typical lessons run for 60 minutes, structured as follows:
20 minutes: Concept review and theoretical discussion
40 minutes: Guided problem-solving with increasing difficulty
20 minutes: Independent practice with my supervision
10 minutes: Summary, homework assignment, and planning for next session
For intensive interview preparation, I offer extended 2-hour sessions focused on mock interviews and targeted practice.
Qualifications and Experience
As a Computer Science Masters student at SMU (3.45/4.0 GPA), I combine academic knowledge with practical expertise. My LeetCode profile demonstrates consistent dedication to algorithmic problem-solving, with:
- Contest rating of 1,905, ranking top 4.29% globally
- 736 solved problems (233 Easy, 441 Medium, 62 Hard)
- 13 earned badges including the prestigious Knight badge
- Author of multiple solution articles explaining algorithmic approaches
- I've maintained a rigorous practice schedule with 305 active days and a maximum streak of 246 days, submitting 1,887 solutions in the past year alone.
Target Students
My tutoring is tailored for:
- University Students: Undergraduate and graduate students taking Data Structures and Algorithms courses who need additional support or want to excel beyond course requirements.
- Interview Candidates: Software engineering job seekers preparing for technical interviews at tech companies, with customized preparation based on target companies.
- Working Professionals: Software developers wanting to strengthen their algorithmic foundations and problem-solving capabilities.
