CS 8 Mentor profiles

</table>

Noah S. (TA)

Preferred Pronouns: He, Him, His
Major: Computational Biology
Previous experience as a TA: None! First time.
"Hi! I'm a first year PhD student in CS, excited to be here and to help introduce you to the field. I first learned to program by writing web scrapers as an undergrad at UCLA, and then I got involved in a medical imaging lab that introduced me to research in CS. Since then I have worked as a software developer at a number of companies (including Procore in the SB area), and I have also worked as a researcher in the areas of machine learning and computer vision. Learning to write code is very rewarding and eye-opening, and I'm looking forward to sharing that experience with you."

Rachel R.(TA)

Preferred Pronouns: She, Her, Hers
"Hi everyone! I’m Rachel, a fourth-year PhD student in Computer Science. Prior to this, I’ve been a TA for CS16 and for CS40. I hope that I can help make programming a pleasant experience and give you a positive first impression of it!"

Jianyu X. (TA)

Preferred Pronouns: He, Him, His
Major: Computer Science
Previous experience as a TA: This is my first time being a TA.
"Hello everyone! My name is Jianyu Xu and I'm a first year PhD student in CS. I'm looking forward to help all of you succeed in CS8 course and Python programming. I was major in engineering as an undergraduate, and hope to learn more on computer science with you together! Besides, I like combinatorics a lot, so do not hesitate if you find some math problem interesting!"

Jose Cuellar (Tutor)

Preferred Pronouns: He, Him, His
Major: Computer Science
Previous experience as a tutor: For Spring 2018 I was a tutor for CS8 and in Winter of 2018 I was a tutor for CS56
"Hello! I am a 4th year Computer Science. I was a tutor for this course last quarter so I have a lot of experience with questions that commonly arise. I came to UCSB with no prior programming experience and CS8 was my introduction to the field. Due to this I know how overwhelming and confusing some topics in Computer Science are and I can hopefully help you all get a better understanding based on my experience. I'm always glad to help with any sort of questions related to the class or the major. Some of my hobbies include creating mobile applications, playing video games and going out hiking. A random tidbit about myself, my favorite animals are reptiles in particular turtles and snakes :). With that said, I look forward to helping you succeed in the course!" </tr>

Kevin H. (Tutor)

Preferred Pronouns: He, Him, His
Major: Computer Science
Previous experience as a tutor: Last year I tutored for CS 16. I love to teach, and share my experience coding.
"I am a Senior in my last coding classes here at UCSB. I love to cook, read, write, and get outdoors. Feel free to reach out to me with questions, and I will be available in your sections. Looking forward to a great quarter. Let's have fun in this class! "

Siqi Zhao(Tutor)

Preferred Pronouns: She, Her, Hers
Major: Computer Science
Previous experience as a tutor: Last quarter I was the tutor for CS8 also, I really had a great experiences!
"Hi! This is Siqi (or Maggie). I am third-year with CS major. I came to UCSB as undeclared, but I took this course in my first quarter and fell in love with it, even if I did’t have any prior programming experience. I was helped by a tutor when I took this course, so I decided to help others when I am able to. Luckily, I got the chance to do it this quarter again! I am really looking forward to help you guys when you have any problem, even about this major and this school, we could talk about such stuff after class or ourside of labs. Please always feel free to email, text or directly talk to me. I also speak Chinese. I hope my presence can really make a difference in your CS journey."

Xingxing G.(Tutor)

Preferred Pronouns: She, Her, Hers
Major: Computer Science
Previous experience as a tutor: This is my first time tutoring CS8.
" I am a fourth year CS major student, and this will be my first time to be tutor. After three years learning Computer Science, I want to apply what I learned to practice and help students who may struggle to start. I will be available in the closed lab and open lab time. And I will also attend the class, so please feel free to come to me and ask questions. Looking forward to figuring problems out with you during this course, and I hope you all can enjoy yourselves in CS8! "
