CSUCI Computer Science Tutoring Center
About
The Computer Science Tutoring center at CSUCI provides a space for CS students to get help on assignments, ask questions, and do focused work.
My Experience
At the end of my first semester my Data Structures and Program Design professor suggested that I apply to be a tutor because she saw my ability to help others and my understanding of the material she had covered in class. I started working at the tutoring center the next semester and I continued to work there until graduation.
Tutoring others taught me how to explain complex topics in simple ways. I learned to identify where students were getting confused and how to help them by drawing out an explanation on the white board. By helping others I learned more myself and I was able to solidify and review concepts from previous courses. Overall it was a very rewarding experience and one that helped sharpen my communication skills as well as my technical skills.
Some Notable Contributions
