I am here to help you become a successful Data Scientist, whether you have a project, interview, or are just not sure how to figure something out.

A bit about me..I am a currently working as a Data Scientist, researching and developing machine learning models. Before this, I received my Math PhD in 2019 from UIUC and held postdocs at the Universities of Oxford and Montreal.

My tutoring style is very adaptive, as I am looking for the best way to help you understand what you want and need. Through my time as a researcher, I have developed many tricks for simplifying complex topics as well as multiple ways to think of mathematical concepts. I enjoy explaining and sharing this knowledge with others!

Probably the best tutor you will ever get

Highly knowledgeable in mathematics, statistics, data science, python. He was able to walk me through everything on my assignment and more. Introduced me to new methods for approaching problems and how to think about how to use certain types of analysis for different uses.
