Bio

I have developed my unique teaching approach over the years, drawing inspiration from my own excellent teachers and feedback from my students. My aim is to help you understand programming and computer science with real-world examples and intuitive explanations. I believe that asking questions is the best way to learn, and I'm confident that any problem can be solved if explained in a simple, intuitive, and clear manner.

I have developed my unique teaching approach over the years, drawing inspiration from my own excellent teachers and feedback from my students. My aim is to help you understand programming and computer science with real-world examples and intuitive explanations. I believe that asking questions is the best way to learn, and I'm confident that any problem can be solved if explained in a simple, intuitive, and clear manner.

I pursued computer science at a distinctly competitive university and have over 10 years of experience in software development. Currently, I work as a data scientist in the industry, where I utilize these skills on a daily basis. Moreover, I've been tutoring CS for years now, catering to students of all ages, and have a proven track record of helping them achieve their goals.

One essential concept that I emphasize with my students is that even expert programmers make mistakes all the time. Programming is an iterative process, and good programmers learn to be patient and develop the skills to navigate this process. I emphasize the importance of computational thinking and how conceptualizing a problem before coding it is crucial.

I specialize in several programming languages and libraries, including Python (Scipy, Numpy, Pandas, PyTorch, scikit-learn, Matplotlib), Java, Matlab, and their statistical and visualization libraries. I provide tutoring services for various levels and topics such as intro to computer science college courses, advanced computer science and data science courses as well as personal and professional CS and programming projects.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Your success is my top priority and I look forward to supporting you in your computational journey!

Amazing matlab help

Nathan has been able to help me with all of my MATLAB coding. I can always count on him to answer my questions and meet every week! Highly recommend him to anyone who needs MATLAB help!

Talia, 5 lessons with Nathan

incredible CS tutor

I highly recommend Nathan as a computer science tutor. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient in helping my son's project. He was able to explain complex concepts in a clear and straightforward manner, making it easy for my son to understand and apply them to his work. I was impressed by his ability to adjust his teaching style to students' needs and help my son achieve his goals. My son had a great experience working with him and I highly recommend him. I would definitely seek his help again in the future."

Nathan is exceptionally patient and demonstrates great listening !

I am just starting to learn how to navigate MATLAB and I have found it difficult to comprehend some of the low-level functions and processes. Therefore, it was very helpful to have someone who could quickly apply what I communicated to him in terms of my aims, and guide me in the necessary direction.

Such a good tutor!

I had python questions and it is really obvious that Nathan really knows his stuff. Also, he can easily explain any topic that I have come across while being able to see the big picture of what I am working towards. I am looking forward to many more learning sessions ahead! I highly recommend Nathan P.
