As a full-time data scientist with a master's in computer engineering and a bachelor's degree in mathematics, I bring years of experience in both theoretical and applied mathematics, data analysis, and programming. Not only are these the skills I put towards my own career but these are also the skills I have taught for years in various capacities both in private tutoring and as a teaching assistant at university, where I had great experiences with the students I got to work with. I take a principles-first approach where I emphasize developing intuition and understanding over copy-and-paste problem solving. This has not only helped me in

Adam helped taught me the concepts in plain English, and after that the math wasn't too bad. He's really good at coming up with real-life examples for different concepts in the class" Read more

  • You are no longer able to provide help with homework or learning

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

Dolores and I started working together my freshman year of college when I struggle with pre calculus and kept working together for the 3 following years as I had to take Calc 1 and 2 and linear algebra for my Computer science major. She’s the best teacher I’ve ever had, even better than my professors, and it was a blessing to be able to work with her all these years! Thank you so much Dolores »
