About Melissa
I’m a passionate programmer and STEM student with experience in full-stack development, competitive programming, and hackathons, including coding competition wins and mentoring students through a coding club that I run. I focus on helping students develop strong problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and confidence in coding through clear and engaging guidance.

I teach coding through a highly interactive, problem-solving focused approach designed to help students truly understand concepts rather than memorize syntax. Lessons are conducted online using shared Google Colab notebooks, allowing us to code together live while discussing theory, debugging, and solving problems collaboratively.
I teach:
* Python programming
* Data Structures & Algorithms
* LeetCode/interview-style problems
* Competitive programming concepts
* Logical problem solving and debugging
Lessons are adapted to each student’s level and goals. Beginners build strong foundations in Python and computational thinking, while more advanced students work on algorithmic thinking, optimization, and challenging coding problems.
A typical lesson lasts 60–90 minutes and includes concept explanations, guided coding, and interactive practice questions.
I currently run a coding club where I mentor students in programming and DSA, and I also have experience with hackathons, competitive programming, and full-stack project development.
Lessons are suitable for beginners, Computer Science students, and anyone looking to improve their coding and problem-solving skills in a structured but approachable environment.

Melissa taught me in both a seminar she lead on real world application of python but also a coding club that is held weekly. She is really patient and understanding, helping me not only patch a lot of misconceptions from the past but also new concepts like regression!
Melissa taught me about linked lists, matrices and so much more in DSA. She’s not only well-versed in programming in python, C++ and web development, but also knows how to make anything interesting. Great tutor and person!
