My DSA lessons are structured to be interactive, concept-driven, and highly practical, catering to both beginners and intermediate learners. Each session is tailored to ensure that students not only understand the theory but can also apply it to solve real coding problems efficiently.

Lesson Format:
Live Coding + Whiteboard Explanation: I begin each session by explaining the core concept (e.g., recursion, trees, dynamic programming) using visuals and intuition. Then we dive into live coding to apply the concept to problems.

Problem-Solving Approach: I focus on step-by-step problem breakdown—understanding constraints, writing pseudo-code, identifying edge cases, and finally implementing the solution.

Hands-On Practice: After explaining and solving a few problems, students get time to solve curated problems on platforms like LeetCode, CodeChef, or GeeksforGeeks, while I provide guidance and debugging support.

Doubt Clearing: Every session ends with a Q&A where we discuss alternative solutions, time-space complexities, and coding best practices.

Content Covered:
All major DSA topics: Arrays, Strings, Recursion, Sorting, Searching, Linked Lists, Trees, Graphs, Backtracking, Greedy, DP, and more.

Language used: Primarily C++, but I also support Java and Python based on student preference.

Weekly quizzes and mock interviews for progress tracking.

My Experience:
Mentored 1000+ students at Coding Ninjas and Scaler.

Achieved 4-star on CodeChef, Knight badge on LeetCode, and a 4.9/5 teaching rating.

Currently working as a Java Developer at VOIS and previously interned as a React Developer, which helps me share both academic and industry-level insights.
