Instructor
Andrew Rothman
San Francisco native and university professor dedicated to Public Service. Specialist in Computer Science Pedagogy, with a focus on conveying complex concepts in ways that can be understood by people without deep technical knowledge. Centered on making sure students who grow up in the Bay Area have access to the skills necessary for them to thrive and contribute to the community that raised them.
Victoria Phelps (she/they)
Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to be your co-instructor this summer. I’m currently a student at Berkeley (so you don’t need to call me professor). Additionally, I work for SAP, the company that sponsors the programming language Snap!, which we’ll be using throughout the semester. My passion lies in research, particularly in software development and computer science (CS) education. When I first took this course, I had no programming experience, but I fell in love with it and became a dedicated advocate for CS10 and Snap!.
As a non-traditional student returning to school after a four-year gap, I firmly believe that anyone can learn CS. The field is open to everyone, regardless of age, skill level, or previous experience. My key piece of advice is to embrace failure as part of the learning process. Remember, not knowing something now doesn’t mean you won’t master it soon. I’m excited to share this journey with you and help you discover the world of computer science!
Head Teaching Assistants
Naveen Nathan
Hi everyone! I am Naveen, a rising 4th year CS major. I have been involved in teaching CS (as a member of course staff or CSM) since my first semester at UCB. In my free time, I love to hike and bike. I look forward to working with you all this summer!
Stacey Yoo
Hi there! My name is Stacey and I’m a rising senior studying Bioengineering. I took CS10 in Spring 2022 and have been with the team ever since. I”m excited to be back as a TA this summer. CS10 is a fun, welcoming introductory class that helped me confidently dive into CS at Berkeley. Outside of the classroom I love to cook, listen to music, and create. Feel free to ask me anything! :D

Wen Cao
Haalllllo00o0o0o0o0o0!!!! I’m Wen and I’m a sophomore triple major in Applied Math, Computer Science, and Mechanical Engineering. This is my fifth time staffing for CS10! I’m a food lover and a big fan of ketchup. Can’t wait to see you all this summer:))))
Marius Castro
Yo! My name is Marius and I’m a rising senior majoring in Applied Math and Computer Science. I took CS10 Spring 2022 and have been involved with the course on staff ever since. I’m pumped to see what this summer has for all of us! I came into Berkeley with no coding experience and I remember how my roommates (who were in 61A/B at the time) screens used to look like giberish while they did hw. I had no idea what CS was so I decided just to try it out by taking CS10. The class quickly became my favorite I’ve taken so far at Berkeley as it opened up the world of programming to me in a very beginner-friendly way. I hope to lend other students a hand in finding their way into Computer Science as a whole and maybe even find a passion like I did :)
Tutors
Dream Lopez
Hello everyone!! I’m a third year planning to major in Data Science and Public Health. I took CS10 my first semester at Berkeley and it really helped my build confidence in my coding abilities! I have AI’d for CS 10 for three semesters, and look forward to assisting you as a tutor this semester. In my free time I love to read, hike, watch movies, find cute coffee shops, and bake. I look forward to meeting everyone and help you fall in love with CS <3
Hannah Chung
Hello! I am a first year and I’m super excited to be part of the CS10 course staff!
Harry Qian
Hi! I am a rising Junior majoring in Physics and a minor in EECS; I’ve been on the CS 10 staff team for a couple of semesters and am very excited to meet you all. I’m from Rome, Italy, so if you have any questions about Italy, stop by and ask! I joined the class with ZERO experience in coding, and I left the class with enough skills to start my CS journey here at Cal. I hope to support you throughout the course!
Nahee Jeong
Hi guys! I’m Nahee, a rising sophomore intending to study computer science. I was an Academic Intern for CS10 last semester, and this is my first time becoming a tutor. Outside of school, I love watching horror movies, writing short stories, and building cute mobile apps. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
