Hello! I am a software engineer working in Manhattan for the past 3 years. I want to provide free mentoring for students in grades 9 - 11 that are interested in getting an introduction to computer science. I am specifically looking to mentor students who may have trouble finding opportunities to get introduced to the study of computer science or students who have trouble affording a private mentor.

This is what you can expect from this opportunity

• 12 in-person sessions (ideally once a week, but can be flexible) with me going over material I have prepared that will give the student an introduction to computer science & programming
• 40 minute sessions
• I can do sessions in English or Korean (I only have conversational fluency in Korean)
• a small amount of homework after each session
• completely free & commitment free (if the student wants to stop the mentorship we can stop, we don't have to do all 12 sessions)
• NOT an opportunity to get help with schoolwork or other subjects than computer science
• sessions can take place at the student's home preferably as long as it is less than 1 hour commute from my home (Williamsburg, Brooklyn)

My goals from doing this:

1. Give youth an introduction to the field of computer science & software engineering as a career
2. Teach basic programming concepts to students
3. Give youth an opportunity to learn/improve skills that may be useful later in life

Why am I doing this?

I want to combine my professional skills and love of volunteering to give youth a chance to learn about the field of computer science. An opportunity I wish I had when I was in grade 9 - 11.

Please email me if you are interested or have any questions and we can have a chat or video call before the first session.
