Yasir

I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy working as visiting lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire, specializing in multiple programming languages, Mobile Games development, Virtual and Augmented Reality. With a strong background in Computer Engineering (PhD, UK & MS, S. Korea) I’ve combined academic achievements with hands-on industry experience. I’ve worked in multinational gaming companies, developing 2.5D and 3D games using Unity3D. As an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA), I’m committed to fostering both academic and personal growth in my students.

Tutoring Experience

My teaching primarily focuses on C, C++, Python, MATLAB, and C# (for Unity3D game development). As a personal tutor and visiting lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire, I lead practical lab sessions covering Unity3D, MATLAB, and other programming topics. I aim to help students build both foundational and advanced coding skills through hands-on learning. Additionally, I mentor students, supporting them in problem-solving, academic growth, and personal development to ensure their success in projects and coursework.

Tutoring Approach

As an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, my teaching philosophy is rooted in creating an engaging, supportive, and inclusive learning environment. I apply research-informed, student-centered teaching methods tailored to diverse learning styles. I focus on breaking complex programming concepts into practical, achievable steps, encouraging students to develop problem-solving abilities and critical thinking. Through real-world examples and interactive exercises, I ensure students gain not only technical knowledge but also the confidence to apply these skills in academic and professional settings. My approach emphasizes mentorship and personal development, preparing students to succeed in their projects, coursework, and future careers.
