I’m Jake, a Senior Machine Learning Engineer and experienced tutor specializing in Math, Physics, Computer Science, Statistics, and Python. I have over 10 years of one-on-one tutoring experience and I’ve worked with students from middle school through college, plus adult learners returning to technical material. Academically, I earned a B.S. in Physics from UC Santa Barbara and an M.S. in Computer Science focused on AI and data systems.

Professionally, I build real production software and machine learning systems, including large-scale personalization and ranking systems used by tens of millions of users. That background shows up in how I teach: I’m clear, structured, and I care about getting you reliable results, not just getting through tonight’s homework. I help students strengthen fundamentals, learn efficient problem-solving patterns, and build confidence under time pressure for quizzes, exams, and standardized tests.

In a typical session, we start with a quick diagnostic to identify the exact sticking points, then rebuild the missing concepts with a simple mental model and targeted practice. I coach students on how to study, how to avoid common traps, and how to become independent problem solvers. If you want a tutor who is patient, has high standards, and is very efficient with your time, I’d be happy to help.

Approved Subjects

Computer Science

Computer Science

I’m a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 9+ years building production software and ML systems, plus 10+ years of tutoring Computer Science and Python. I teach students from high school through college and adult learners, covering fundamentals through advanced topics like data structures, algorithms, object-oriented programming, and interview prep. My approach is structured and results-driven: we identify gaps quickly, build a clear mental model, then drill the exact problem patterns you’ll see on assignments and exams. I also help with projects, debugging, clean code, and building confidence under time pressure.
Data Science

Data Science

I’m a Senior Machine Learning Engineer and data scientist with 9+ years building production analytics and ML systems, plus 10+ years of tutoring. I teach the full data science workflow: Python (pandas, NumPy), SQL, statistics, experiment design, data cleaning, feature engineering, and model evaluation. My sessions are practical and results-driven, focused on turning messy real datasets into clear insights and reliable models, with strong emphasis on interpretation and communication. I also help with portfolios, capstone projects, and interview prep (case studies, SQL, and ML fundamentals).
Machine Learning/ AI

Machine Learning/ AI

I’m a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 9+ years building and deploying production ML systems, including large-scale personalization and ranking used by tens of millions of users. I tutor ML from foundations to advanced topics: supervised learning, feature engineering, model evaluation, tuning, and deep learning concepts, plus practical tooling in Python. My focus is real-world competence: choosing the right metrics, avoiding leakage, diagnosing failures, and understanding tradeoffs like latency, reliability, and monitoring. I also support interview prep and project guidance, including end-to-end ML pipelines and clear technical storytelling.
