I hold a PhD in Philosophy of Science with a focus on quantum computing, as well as a triple major in Physics, Philosophy, and Applied Mathematics from my undergraduate studies. My background spans both technical and conceptual disciplines, allowing me to approach subjects with a strong emphasis on clarity, application, and intuition. Over the years, I have taught a wide range of students, from middle schoolers programming video games to college undergraduates tackling differential equations, physics, and upper-level economics courses. My experience includes classroom instruction, one-on-one tutoring, and online teaching, where I have worked to make complex subjects more accessible and engaging.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in ensuring students not only understand a subject but also see its broader applications. I focus on building strong foundational intuition, using real-world examples to show why concepts matter and how they can be applied. Whether helping students grasp symbolic logic by deconstructing everyday language, exploring mathematical modeling in sports and voting theory, or guiding students in persuasive writing by acting as their "skeptical friend," I tailor my approach to each student’s learning style. I emphasize active learning through problem-solving, discussions, and structured feedback to help students gain confidence and mastery. I strive to provide my students with both the knowledge and the critical thinking tools they need to succeed in their studies and beyond.

Approved Subjects

Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I have professional experience using data analysis to solve real business and technical problems, including infrastructure risk modeling, financial forecasting, marketing analytics, and survey research. I work extensively with Python, pandas, SQL, Excel, Power BI, and Tableau to clean messy datasets, build dashboards, automate workflows, and turn raw data into clear recommendations. My background includes developing predictive models, running A/B tests, analyzing trends, and communicating results to both technical and non-technical audiences. As a tutor, I focus on helping students understand how to complete an analysis and understand each step in the process.
Data Science

Data Science

I have extensive experience in data science, combining advanced analytics with practical applications in business, finance, and predictive modeling. I have developed expertise in quantitative research, hypothesis testing, and machine learning, which I have applied in roles as a Data Science Consultant and Quantitative Research Analyst. I have built automated data pipelines, designed predictive models for financial and marketing analytics, and implemented machine learning techniques for anomaly detection and decision optimization. My technical skills include Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, and cloud-based data engineering, allowing me to effectively teach both fundamental and advanced concepts in data science to students and professionals alike.
Econometrics

Econometrics

I have a strong background in econometrics, combining formal education with practical experience in quantitative research and data analysis. With a PhD in Logic and Philosophy of Science and a BS in Applied Mathematics, I have developed expertise in statistical modeling, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis. I have taught upper-level undergraduate economics courses, guiding students through econometric methods and their applications in real-world data analysis. My professional experience includes using econometric techniques for risk modeling, predictive analytics, and financial forecasting, utilizing Python, SQL, and Power BI to extract insights from complex datasets.
Logic

Logic

I hold a PhD in Philosophy of Science with a focus on quantum computing, which required extensive study of formal logic, reasoning, and argumentation. I have taught logic at multiple levels, including critical reasoning courses where I guided students through symbolic logic, logical fallacies, and argument analysis using real-world examples. My approach emphasizes building intuition by starting with familiar concepts, breaking down complex ideas step by step, and applying logic to practical scenarios. Through years of teaching and tutoring, I have helped students develop clear, structured thinking skills essential for mastering propositional, predicate, model, mathematical, and inductive logic.
Philosophy

Philosophy

I have a PhD in Logic and Philosophy of Science from (arguably) the best Philosophy of Science Program in the United States, with a focus on Philosophy of Physics and Philosophy of Computation. You can find my dissertation here: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
