TutorDudes

Software Engineer Intern

December 2020 • Dover, DE

What I liked

Having experience with developing an android based mobile application is very valuable to me since I have been studying mobile applications a lot before. There is no problem with group work with other interns and COO at TutorDudes. The entire team tries to help each other and share their knowledge via one to one meeting and group chat.

What I wish was different

As an engineer, if there was a specific instruction for setting up the work environment such as Git, Java version, etc, it makes it easier to jump into the existing project.

Advice

Like every other engineering position, the basic knowledge of developing a mobile application is required.

Software Engineer Intern

November 2020 • Fairfax, VA

What I liked

I enjoyed the freedoms given to interns and the flexible work environment. I was assigned to implement music and sound effects in the game that we are creating. Teaching myself how to implement music and code Android applications was an invaluable learning experience, and collaborating with a small team has helped me get better at working with others.

What I wish was different

Some expectations such as due dates are a little ambitious for unpaid interns, but not impossible.

Advice

Since this is a startup, there is not much structure so you should try to be responsible for your own work.

Data Analyst Intern

December 2020 • Fairfax, VA

What I liked

What I like about TutorDudes is that I work independently and virtually. I also liked how we as interns encouraged to use our critical thinking in the assigned work. I liked the feeling that even I am an intern, I can contribute to the company by my ideas. I like how Arya (TutorDudes' CEO) is passionate about making TutorDudes a big company in the future.

Advice

If you want to get out of your comfort zone and use your critical thinking skills, you are in the right place.

Web Marketing Intern

June 2021 • Fairfax, VA

What I liked

I like how Arya cares a lot about us interns and what we would like to get out of the internship. Tasks are given each week and we are able to complete them at our own time and pace. Tasks are straightforward, questions are welcome, and feedbacks are great!

What I wish was different

I wish I had the opportunity to do this internship in person. Due to covid and living across the country, this internship has to be remote.

Advice

Be honest and curious. Don't hesitate to ask questions. You will get helpful answers and feedbacks.

Full-Stack Software Engineer

June - August 2021 • Dover, DE

What I liked

It's a great experience to get familiar with Django framework. I really liked the chatbox feature and the stripe API part. The chatbox is a challenging job which is kinda fun. The Stripe API is pretty useful for the company to receive payment. Deployment is also an operation that I'm really enjoyed.

What I wish was different

The learning curve was kinda out of my expectations.

Advice

Try to build a simple Django project before you work on all the projects we have at TutorDudes, that will help you to understand the whole structure of the project.

What I liked

Flexible schedule, flexible clientele, opportunities to grow, scheduling is easy, and each session gives you room to personalize/tailor them to each individual client.

What I wish was different

I wish that we could conduct more in-person sessions.

Advice

Because this is practically a brand new business, there won't be a large pile of clientele that you can work with. I've noticed, though, that as you continue to push your presence in the tutoring community, clients tend to drift towards you. Make sure that you're marketing yourself, the company, and your mission!

Financial Analyst Intern

January 2022 • Dover, DE

What I liked

I enjoyed connecting with my fellow interns. My favorite kind of assignment was filling out analytics reports. DIving deep into the company's mission, ESG, Management, and some of their financials was really enjoyable.

What I wish was different

I wish that the tasks I did were more closely related to my position.

Advice

The advice I'd give to a future intern is to have an open schedule throughout the week so you aren't forced to work all hours at the end of the week.

What I liked

The work was perfectly aligned with my position and work of interest. Some of the work such as the analytical reports and revisions allowed me to enlarge my scope of understanding of finance.
