I'm a Princeton Economics graduate who has spent about the last half year working professionally as a data and AI engineer, and I tutor because I enjoy the moment when a technical concept clicks for someone. My academic background includes a senior thesis built on a US Census dataset of over 14 million records, which gave me deep experience with statistics, data cleaning, and applied econometrics well beyond what a typical course covers. Professionally, I worked as a Data and AI Engineering Consultant, building machine learning pipelines, evaluation systems, and data infrastructure for clients, which means I teach SQL, Python, and machine learning the way they're actually used in industry.
My teaching experience spans a few different settings. I served as a course assistant for a data visualization program at Princeton aimed at incoming pre-freshman students, ages 17 to 18, over a three to four month term. In that role I helped students build a foundation in introductory statistics, programming, and data visualization, and worked with them on real-world applications like critically evaluating headlines and claims using data. During my own undergraduate years, I regularly helped classmates work through econometrics, corporate finance, and quantitative math coursework like multivariable calculus in one-on-one and small group settings. More recently, at my most recent job, I spent time teaching coworkers SQL and Python from the ground up so they could contribute to our data workflows independently.
My approach to tutoring is to meet students where they are and build understanding step by step rather than rushing to the answer. I like to connect abstract concepts to real-world examples, whether that means walking through an actual SQL query against messy data or breaking down how a machine learning model makes a prediction. I'm patient with beginners and equally comfortable helping more advanced students refine their skills for internships, coursework, or career transitions into data and AI roles.
