I hold a BSc in Applied Mathematics and a PhD in Computer Science. I have experience as a teaching assistant during my PhD and have recently taught AI at FIU in Miami. Over the last decade, I have been a tutor, and I am well-versed in the curriculum of both Computer Science and Mathematics.

I am confident in my ability to tutor any Computer Science and Mathematics class, as I aim to help students grasp the fundamentals of each subject. I utilize a combination of mathematics and computer programming with real-life examples to provide a thorough understanding of the topics covered.

As a former student of both Mathematics and Computer Science, I have always been fascinated by how scientists find elegant and sometimes straightforward solutions to complex problems. To me, it's crucial for students not only to understand the solution but also the reasoning behind it. This enables them to recognize similar problems and develop problem-solving techniques for future use. Therefore, I like to begin by establishing a clear understanding of the problem at hand - what do we know and what is unknown. I motivate the problem by demonstrating its real-life applications and keeping the big picture in mind. Then, I encourage students to make connections between the data and the unknown and see if they can apply a previously solved problem to the current issue. I find joy in making connections with previous solutions and building upon them.

When teaching a challenging concept, I believe it's essential to not only explain the concept itself but also something that is similar to it - a near miss. By surrounding the concept with a near miss, it helps to clearly define its boundaries and provides a focused approach to the problem we are trying to solve.

Computer Science

I completed my PhD in computer science in the US and I have published research papers in top tier conferences in the US and in the world. I was a teaching assistant in the US as part of my PhD duties and have taught programming, logic for computer science, and artificial intelligence recently as an adjunct professor. I have been an adjunct professor at Florida International University teaching artificial intelligence for undergraduates (60+ student class). Further, I have tutored data structures, algorithms, game theory, operating systems, machine learning, etc. Some of the classes that I took as part of my PhD in computer science program are: •Mandatory courses: Theory of Computation, Operating Systems, Introduction to Algorithms, Analysis of Algorithms. •Electives: Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Neural Networks, Motion Planning, Fundamentals of Computer Security, Principles of DBMS, Software Engineering, Deep Learning.
Data Science,

Data Science

I have a PhD in computer science, a MSc in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery. I am currently a senior data scientist for a software company in the US. I develop and maintain predictive models in production. I have taken classes and I am familiar with probability, statistics and optimization which are the bedrock of data science.

R

I have been trained to understand the syntax and usage of various functions, libraries and concepts of R programming, and can answer questions on these topics. My training also includes working with datasets and data manipulation using R. I am familiar with common use cases of R, such as data analysis, statistical modeling, and visualizations, and can help you solve problems related to these topics.

Knwledgable and Patient Tutor

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nestor, an online professor who helped me with my data analysis and predictive modeling project. From the very beginning, Nestor made me feel comfortable and confident in my ability to complete the project successfully. His in-depth knowledge of the subject matter and ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner was truly impressive.
