Hi! I’m Dheeraj! I’m an Academic Coach with Staying Ahead of the Game LLC. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University at Buffalo, where I also worked as a Teaching Assistant and Research Assistant in the Computer Science and Engineering Department. I supported courses like Computer Organization and Theory of Computation, mentored undergraduates, and co-developed educational tools used by thousands of students. My experience balancing academics, research, and part-time work taught me the importance of time management, persistence, and self-discipline which are skills I now share with my students. I chose to coach with SAOTG because I believe in helping students build confidence, independence, and resilience through consistent effort and personalized strategies.
