What sets me apart from the other tutors on this platform is my unique blend of deep industry experience and several thousand hours coaching and tutoring individuals just like you.

My industry experience comes from working as a machine learning software engineer, manager, and CEO at multiple successful startups over the past 8 years, where I've built a variety of web-based and machine learning products for both independent customers and businesses. This has provided me with experience in over a dozen modern programming languages across many of the most common frontend, backend, and infrastructure frameworks as well as coaching less experienced peers and maximizing their potential.

My coaching experience extends beyond my time as a manager and CEO, as my passion for teaching started back when I was in middle school earning volunteer hours. I've been tutoring consistently since the sixth grade, and have experience working with all experience levels and learning styles.

I strongly believe in learning through understanding the concepts behind the material, followed by struggling through proper examples. I find this approach balances both conceptual and practical knowledge, and helps students retain the material effectively.

My teaching style varies by student, but I strive for learning to be both efficient and effective. I believe in students learning at their own pace in the way that works best for them, but also learning in a way that allows them to save time and retain the maximum amount of information. I provide my students with countless tips and tricks that I have acquired over my career.

My students are typically graduate students, PhD candidates, and professionals looking to improve their skills at any number of related disciplines.

If you are interested in becoming a software engineer or data scientist and want to learn with an efficient and effective approach, reach out so we can determine whether I am the right fit for your needs. I look forward to helping you accomplish your goals.

Incredible Python Data Science tutor!

Andrew really knows Python and also knows how to interpret and apply Python to solve difficult data science problems. He is actually extremely quick at it too! His demeanor is very pleasant, kind and patient and seems to enjoy teaching others. What more can I say except I really believe he is gifted, a genius!

Jonathan, 7 lessons with Andrew

Generally knowledgeable but not as prepared as I hoped

I am taking a course in Machine Learning and worked on some highly difficult problem sets stumping even some 5.0 star experienced Machine Learning tutors on Wyzant. When messaging back and forth with Andrew, I acknowledged his steep price and he made it sound as if he could work through these problems with me easily. He knows a lot in general but even after sending problems and solutions to him in advance, I sensed that his knowledge of some of the problems were subpar despite the confidence he puts forward with his messages and hourly rate. I was hoping that one of the highest priced tutors in this domain would come more prepared and the higher the price the higher my expectations of value a tutor brings. Also there were times I found his explanations rushed and I had to extensively research some things even after the session.

Eric, 1 lesson with Andrew

Very clear and extremely patient, and has high ML knowledge

Explained very complex optimization techniques and methods with ease, simplicity and high clarity. I definitely recommend him as he has high and great knowledge within several subjects.

Jayden, 2 lessons with Andrew

A super star

I am doing a Masters dissertation and have only been using R for a few months. Andrew was fantastic and helped write the code that I needed to run my data analysis. I would have been lost without his help. I have learnt so much.

Katy, 2 lessons with Andrew

Excellent and knowledgeable tutor.

Andrew helped me with my Machine Learning Homework. he knows his stuff very well and he explains clearly. He helped me to write code in Python to solve a problem about classification. Andrew was able to find a solution to every curveball I threw at him, and it was obvious to me that he has significant experience with different programming languages. I definitely plan to have another tutoring session again with him for any future help with Machine Learning. Thanks Andrew.

Eddy, 2 lessons with Andrew

Very patient, Would Recommend

Andrew is very helpful. Solved my problem with an innovative way. He has much experience with data. I would recommend him to anyone who has a problem with data.

Actuarial teaching from Andrew

Andrew taught me how to calculate all kinds of ratios from insurance companies' annual report and how to conduct the profitability analysis. Andrew has a great amount of knowledge of actuarial and the teaching is very helpful! Thank you.

Wendy, 1 lesson with Andrew

Excellent

Andrew is intelligent and knowledgeable in a multitude of subjects including mathematics and programming. Coupled with his vast range of expertise, he is also kind, patient, and an exceptional teacher. It is an absolute joy to work with him and he has taught me a great deal. I have improved immensely under his guidance and each lesson with him always exceeds my expectations.

Nikolette, 48 lessons with Andrew

Incredibly knowledgeable and efficient!

Andrew helped me write code in R to read and manipulate some very poorly formatted files. Andrew was able to find a solution to every curveball I threw at him, and it was obvious to me that he has significant experience with different programming languages. I definitely plan to talk to Andrew again for any future help with R!

Hartford, 3 lessons with Andrew
