I’m Siva Jasthi! I have a Ph.D. in Engineering and I have been working in the software industry for the last 25 years. I played many roles such as Developer, Architect, Manager, Trainer, Auditor, and Consultant. In the industry, I designed, developed, and delivered software using several programming languages.

I am a lifelong learner and earned several certifications, such as SAFe Process Consultant (SPC), Project Management Professional (PMP) and Certified Quality Auditor (CQA).

I enjoy sharing my industry experiences with the students. I have been teaching as Adjunct Faculty at a local public university for the last 20 years. I taught Computer Science classes to undergraduate students and working adults (18 to 40-year-old students). Some classes I taught are Programming (using Python, Java, PHP, MySQL), Object-Oriented Design, Software Engineering, and Capstone Project. The size of these classes ranges from 8 to 30 students. I also held many individual sessions with the students who are looking for additional help.

I also enjoy volunteering and started teaching Computer Science classes to middle and high school students at a local non-profit weekend school. I now serve as a Program Coordinator for Digital Literacy classes at this school. In this role, I design and develop the course curriculum and lesson plans for all five levels of classes (HTML and CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL, Python, Java).

I taught classes in a classroom setting, one-on-one tutoring, and online zoom sessions. I take pride in translating complex concepts into simple analogies and examples. My teaching philosophy involves active learning, where I encourage students to focus on doing, problem-solving and learning from mistakes.

I am easily reachable and will provide fast responses to your queries. Contact me to schedule a lesson!

Knowledgeable and Outstanding Tutor!

Siva is an outstanding tutor. His deep understanding of Python concepts and real-world applications shines through in every session. He explains complex topics in a clear, concise, and easily digestible manner. He creates a detailed summary of the topics covered in the lesson and also develops a thorough plan for future sessions. Thanks to his guidance, I have mastered the basic Python concepts, earned the PCEP (Python Entry-Level Certified Programmer Certification), and have now moved on to more advanced topics in Python. I would highly recommend him to anyone else in need of Python or other programming assistance.

Love Mr. Siva

He is very understanding, patient, and knows his stuff! He is very detailed oriented with each part of the assignment to ensure nothing is left out. Programming is new to me. Mr. Siva knows his stuff so it makes understanding really easy. I would recommend anyone to take Mr. Siva.

Incredible Tutor For Complex Python Concepts

Siva is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient tutor. I reached out to him in a panic because I was struggling to understand complex algorithms for Python, and he explained them with ease. What I appreciated most was that he prepared prior to our session to confirm that he could properly explain my issues and ensure that I left the session understanding the concepts. He has a breadth of knowledge and a passion for computer science, and I would highly recommend working with him.
