About Duvall

Bio

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Mathematics and am currently completing a Master of Science in Data Science. I tutor college students one-on-one in mathematics and data-focused subjects, and I bring real working knowledge to every session.
My approach is straightforward. I focus on building genuine understanding and problem-solving ability, not memorization. That matters especially when coursework gets harder and the material starts stacking on itself.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Mathematics and am currently completing a Master of Science in Data Science. I tutor college students one-on-one in mathematics and data-focused subjects, and I bring real working knowledge to every session.
My approach is straightforward. I focus on building genuine understanding and problem-solving ability, not memorization. That matters especially when coursework gets harder and the material starts stacking on itself.
My current technical stack includes R in RStudio, Python in VSCode, PostgreSQL with pgAdmin 4, and MongoDB with MongoDB Compass, with flexibility across Google Colab and IntelliJ. My applied background covers ETL workflows, analytics programming, data management, data cleaning, statistical analysis, and market basket analysis. These are the areas where I can offer the strongest instruction. My skill set extends beyond this and continues to grow as a current graduate student, but I deliver the best results when working within what is listed here.
All sessions are one-on-one at $38 per hour. You get focused attention and instruction that meets you where you are in the material.
