Bio

Hello, my name is Nicholas! I am a graduate student pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at the University of California, San Diego, where I specialize in generative models and deep learning for scientific applications at the Rose STL Lab. I have been tutoring for the past six years in artificial intelligence, computer programming, mathematics, and other STEM-related fields, while also serving as a research mentor for university students over the past few years.

Hello, my name is Nicholas! I am a graduate student pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at the University of California, San Diego, where I specialize in generative models and deep learning for scientific applications at the Rose STL Lab. I have been tutoring for the past six years in artificial intelligence, computer programming, mathematics, and other STEM-related fields, while also serving as a research mentor for university students over the past few years. During my education, I have authored and coauthored multiple academic research papers that have been accepted to top machine learning conferences such as NeurIPS, AAAI, and L4DC. I have also worked as a Firmware Engineer Intern at Western Digital during the summer, specializing in performance optimization for HDD firmware.

Teaching is something I am deeply passionate about because, as a first-generation college student, I know how impactful the opportunities it provides can be. I firmly believe that anyone with the right mindset and habits can seize these opportunities to achieve their goals. I see this potential in every student I've worked with, regardless of their skill level or background, and I am always invested in helping them succeed. Most of the topics I teach are complex and rigorous, so my tutoring approach emphasizes breaking down difficult concepts into simple, digestible steps. This helps students build a strong foundation while developing the confidence to tackle subjects that can often feel overwhelming. I have experience teaching both one-on-one sessions and small-group lessons, tutoring up to 10 students at a time, and I tailor my teaching methods to fit each individual's learning style and pace.

If you are interested in working with a tutor, whether it is for your classes or your own personal interests, please feel free to reach out! I look forward to hearing from you if you have questions about computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, or any other subject you may need help with.

knowledgeable and patient AI tutor

Nicholas was very thorough and patient with his lesson on the basics of machine learning for a newbie like me. He effectively used the whiteboard and provided clear graphics to demonstrate his points.
