Hello! I'm Shiva Tej, a recent Masters graduate from the University of Toronto and a computer science and programming tutor with 3+ years' experience. My teaching approach is collaborative – we learn by doing. I engage students through real-life examples and interactive exercises. Whether you're a young coder just starting out or a professional looking to expand your skills, I can help you with Python, Web Technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, etc.), Java, and more. I'm particularly proud of my work mentoring science fair projects—in 2024, one of my students received a special award at the Los Angeles County Science Fair for their impactful project. Whether you're starting your coding journey or looking to enhance specific skills, I'm committed to helping you achieve your technology goals through personalized instruction.

My teaching approach is fundamentally collaborative—we learn by doing. Rather than lecturing, I create interactive exercises that reinforce concepts through practical application. I tailor my teaching style to each student's learning pace and interests, ensuring they gain both confidence and competence. For beginners, I focus on building a strong foundation with achievable milestones. For advanced students, I design challenging projects that push boundaries while providing guidance when needed. I emphasize problem-solving strategies and independent thinking, equipping students with skills that extend beyond specific languages. My methodology has proven successful across age groups, from young coders taking their first steps to professionals expanding their technical toolkit. Each session builds toward creating real-world applications that demonstrate mastery while keeping the learning process engaging and rewarding.
