My name is Jimmy and I'm looking forward to working with you.

For my education I went to UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (essentially Computer Science). I ended with a GPA of 3.677. I've worked as a Software Engineer for 5 years at Meta and 1 year at Google.

In addition to 6+ years of technical industry experience at Meta and Google, I've got about as much tutoring experience as well. This platform seems more targeted to post-college mentorship, but feel free to inquire about my total range of tutoring experience. On this platform, I've worked with 1 mentee so far and we've gone over approaches to solving LeetCode style problems. In addition to general interview tips.

My general approach is empathy based. I know what it's like first hand to struggle with new concepts, especially at a young age. I have the compassion to seek to understand where the student is struggling. I have the patience to revisit concepts not yet mastered. I'll keep us on track, but if I sense the need for a short break, I will suggest one. A mentee's mental health comes before their academic or career success is my policy, so I will have to turn you away if our philosophies differ here. But rest assured, I am not laid back. I will do what I can to excite mentees about the material they are learning, and motivate them to keep learning and growing.

I am most comfortable with mentoring sessions in the direction of LeetCode style questions with a preference for Python, but please still inquire if you have a request outside of that scope.

I respond within 24 hours, usually within 12.
