About
My name is Adam Abbas,
I am a passionate 22 year old programmer living in Bloomsbury, New Jersey.
I am also a poet and creative writer who, by the way, decided to learn web development just to build... my own blog.
I love to tutor people because I love people. I am an extrovert who loves a good laugh and I bring my joy with me wherever I go.
If there's a specific reason why I chose to tutor it would be because of my lack of confidence I had when I first started learning Python. My problem was that every tutorial I watched sounded like rocket-science to me and each new concept I learned made me want to throw in the towel. I remember being so challenged when I first learned "for" and "while" loops that I took about 2 weeks off just to refresh my head. I wish I had someone to remind me of how untrue it is that you can't learn this. Hence why I look for students who simply have a strong desire to learn. I love students with willpower because it is crucial to overcoming those challenges to which we will work through together.
When it comes to helping people learn new skills and/or solve challenging tasks, I am a team-player who will always keep your goals in mind. Every step of our work together is just that; OUR work.
I look forward to watching you grow!read more
Experience
Python Tutor
Independent
Nov 2023 - present
Tutoring two sisters who are both 23 and neither had any prior programming experience. I taught them... the basics of how to use the different data types, loops, nested loops, perform unit testing, handle files, etc. I am now teaching them how to write and test their own class methods and how to inherit class properties. Both have come such a long way and have propelled my passion for teaching.read more
