With an academic foundation in Applied Mathematics (BSc) and Computer Science (PhD), I bring a wealth of knowledge and a decade of experience to the educational arena. My journey has taken me from being a proactive teaching assistant during my PhD studies to a recent role instructing AI at FIU in Miami. My expertise spans across the curricula of both Computer Science and Mathematics, making me an adept tutor in these fields.

My teaching philosophy centers around empowering students with a deep comprehension of the core principles in Computer Science and Mathematics. I employ a unique teaching methodology that intertwines mathematics and programming with practical, real-world examples, ensuring a holistic understanding of the subjects.

As someone who has traversed the realms of Mathematics and Computer Science, my passion lies in unraveling the elegance in simple solutions to intricate problems. It's imperative for me that students not only learn the solutions but also comprehend the logic driving them. This approach is vital for developing robust problem-solving skills, applicable in future scenarios. In my classes, I emphasize a foundational understanding of the problem – clarifying knowns and unknowns, and illustrating its relevance through real-world applications. This sets the stage for students to link theory with practice, potentially applying solutions from past challenges to new ones.

In addressing complex concepts, my strategy extends beyond mere explanation. I introduce 'near misses' – concepts similar yet distinct from the topic at hand. This technique not only clarifies the concept's boundaries but also enhances understanding through focused, comparative analysis. My goal is to not just impart knowledge, but to inspire a lasting curiosity and understanding in my students, equipping them for success in their academic and professional pursuits.

Join me in this enlightening journey where learning transcends the classroom, and every challenge becomes an opportunity for growth and discovery.

Computer Science,

Computer Science

I completed my PhD in computer science in the US and I have published research papers in top tier conferences in the US and in the world. I was a teaching assistant in the US as part of my PhD duties and have taught programming, logic for computer science, and artificial intelligence recently as an adjunct professor. I have been an adjunct professor at Florida International University teaching artificial intelligence for undergraduates (60+ student class). Further, I have tutored data structures, algorithms, game theory, operating systems, machine learning, etc. Some of the classes that I took as part of my PhD in computer science program are: •Mandatory courses: Theory of Computation, Operating Systems, Introduction to Algorithms, Analysis of Algorithms. •Electives: Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Neural Networks, Motion Planning, Fundamentals of Computer Security, Principles of DBMS, Software Engineering, Deep Learning.
Data Science,

Data Science

I have a PhD in computer science, a MSc in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery. I am currently a senior data scientist for a software company in the US. I develop and maintain predictive models in production. I have taken classes and I am familiar with probability, statistics and optimization which are the bedrock of data science.
Python,

Python

With an extensive knowledge base on Python programming, I'm adept at guiding learners through Python's intricacies, from basic syntax to advanced algorithms. My teaching methodology emphasizes clarity and hands-on practice, ensuring that you grasp both the theory and practical application of Python. Whether you're a beginner looking to start your coding journey or an intermediate coder aiming to level up, I'm here to facilitate your Python learning experience.
R

R

I have been trained to understand the syntax and usage of various functions, libraries and concepts of R programming, and can answer questions on these topics. My training also includes working with datasets and data manipulation using R. I am familiar with common use cases of R, such as data analysis, statistical modeling, and visualizations, and can help you solve problems related to these topics.

Screen Sharing Did Not Work

Nestor did a great job helping with various models for GridSearchCV/ensemble techniques. However, screen sharing did not work on my end (could not share with him) and I tried all the screen sharing options. This made the lesson more difficult and inefficient because of the workarounds.

Knwledgable and Patient Tutor

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nestor, an online professor who helped me with my data analysis and predictive modeling project. From the very beginning, Nestor made me feel comfortable and confident in my ability to complete the project successfully. His in-depth knowledge of the subject matter and ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner was truly impressive.
