Her responses offline are timely and she is willing to she is flexible with her schedule. I highly recommend her as tutor in many STEM fields.

Junhui, 39 lessons with Nina

Great tutor.

Very helpful and timely help for College pre calculus practice test help. Was flexible enough to provide 4 sessions in 2 days before a big test.

Robert, 3 lessons with Nina

Knowledgeable and consistent

Ms. Nina helped me considerably to fully understand the database topic in computer sciences, and she was instrumental in helping me achieve a quite high mark in my exam. I have worked with Nina on other subjects, and her knowledge and dedication in coaching topics related to Mathematic and Computer sciences are remarkable. Her reliability and positive coaching methodology also must be commended. I would advise Nina for any kind of academic support related to her areas of competence, especially in exams and assignments requiring high coaching intensity and high complexity.

Tremendously knowledgeable in statistics!

Nina was EXCELLENT with tutoring statistics in my quantitative dissertation. She saw my SPSS analysis and was able to catch immediately what was the issues and helped me to resolve them with great explanations. Even after we finished, she responded to all my questions and helped me understand thoroughly. I HIGHLY recommend Nina if anyone needs help with statistics. Nina is an EXCEPTIONAL tutor. I will only go to her for statistics. You will love the way she tutors.

Excellent with young people

Nina has taught my 12 year old C# for two sessions and has been consistently engaging, patient, and kind with my child. She communicated quickly to schedule the tutoring and talked my kid through complicated concepts in a way that really made sense. I highly recommend her!

Emily, 1 lesson with Nina

Wonderful tutor for a young learner!

I gifted a lesson in C# to my niece for her 12th birthday (her request!), and Nina was a perfect fit. Nina was patient and responsive as my niece shared what she knew and hoped to learn and do, and seemed to have just the right interactive and inspiring activities at her fingertips. I happened to be listening in (she is 12!) and heard my niece exclaim with excitement multiple times as things clicked for her again and again throughout the lesson. Nina also was clear about a learning trajectory and what could be a next challenge in future lessons. My niece was disappointed when the hour was up--such a good sign. Many thanks to Nina!

Bonnie, 1 lesson with Nina

Great tutor

Very flexible and helpful. I was struggling to grasp some key concepts in R coding, but Nina's tutoring made a huge difference. She has a knack for breaking down complex topics into manageable steps, and her teaching style is very encouraging. She helped me understand not just the 'how' but also the 'why' behind the code, which has been invaluable. I'm much more confident in my R skills thanks to her guidance.

Chris, 6 lessons with Nina

Excellent tutor in Matlab

Nina has very experience in Matlab. With her skills in Matlab, she can understand the code so quickly and fix the code if I have any error. She also comes with a lot of good ideas to make the code easier to read and make it for n dimensional. She also knowledgeable in mathematical concepts that help in the code. Nina replies so fast to the chat and tries her best to find a time for the meeting. Nina is also patient and answers all my questions. I highly recommends her as a tutor.

Zainab, 28 lessons with Nina

Very Knowledgeable Tutor With Multiple Skills

Nina have tutored me in R for Statistics course, and a SQL course. She is very knowledgable in explaining the content very throughly that I wish she was a professor at my university. This tutor is a very patient tutor, and does not make you feel like you should already know, especially when learning technical material.
