“Working as a computer science academic tutor at Queens College has been an incredible experience for me both academically and professionally. First, it has helped me to develop a deeper understanding of computer science concepts and principles by teaching them to others. Elaborating these concepts to my peers has encouraged me to further clarify my own understanding and gain confidence in my abilities. Second, the experience has improved my communication and leadership skills as I am required to explain difficult concepts in a way that is easy for others to understand, which has been particularly beneficial in group projects and presentations. Additionally, working on campus has helped me to build relationships with other students and faculty, providing networking opportunities and potential references for future job opportunities.”
