Currently a Master of Computer Science student at Unimelb with interests in Machine Learning and Programming Languages.
4th semester tutoring Foundations of Algorithms.
I enjoy meeting new students and seeing what gets them ticking (hopefully, C & Algorithms!).
Also studying Chinese, but I’m not very good at it.
Hey there! I’m Alec and I am in my final year of my Computing and Software Systems undergrad here at Unimelb. This will be my fourth semester working alongside Jianzhong as a tutor, and my second semester teaching this subject. Tutoring at university has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences in my life. The moment where a student finally understands a difficult concept is a feeling that keeps me motivated to tutor.
Hey! My name is Kuoyuan Li and it’s really exciting to see you all. I am a Master of Computer Science Student at the Uni. My interests are around AI and machine learning which heavily rely on a good algorithm foundation. Best wishes for your journey on studying!
I studied a bachelor degree of science with a major in Electronic Engineering at Melbourne University in 2012. I currently work as a professional tutor and tour guide of Melbourne. I look forward to teaching you programming.
I am a new Master of Science (Physics) student with the experimental particle physics research group, working on the Belle II experiment. This is my third year working as a tutor and 4th semester tutoring COMP10002. Outside of studies I spend time singing classical music with the Melbourne University Choral Society (MUCS).
I am studying a Master’s of Mechatronics Engineering, currently working on an exoskeleton for people with paraplegia. I have tutored at UoM in Computer Science for four years. In my spare time, I love to play basketball.”
Hi, I’m Stella. I am studying a Bachelor of Science majoring in Computing and Software Systems.
I am currently in the 4th year of my degree because I spent last year as a full-time software development intern.”
I’m super passionate about both computing and teaching! I’ve been tutoring at UniMelb since 2015, and among other research roles, have been a designer/developer of the Quantum User Interface (QUI) project.
I completed my MSc (Computer Science) in 2020.
My thesis focused on the utility of Virtual Reality in Quantum Computing education.
Outside of work I’m into health and fitness, travel, and am somewhat of a rollercoaster fanatic!
Hi all! I am a Tasmanian BSci student going into my fourth year and final semester. My major is discrete mathematics and operations research and I’m also doing a concurrent Diploma in Computing.
