About David


Bio

I hold a Bachelor's degrees in Physics and Computer Science and a Master’s in Computer Science from UMass Amherst. My academic background includes a strong foundation in mathematics, algorithms, and physical modeling, as well as graduate-level work in robotics, perception, and machine learning. I’ve also pursued PhD research in robotics and AI, focusing on topics like autonomous navigation and multi-agent systems.

I hold a Bachelor's degrees in Physics and Computer Science and a Master’s in Computer Science from UMass Amherst. My academic background includes a strong foundation in mathematics, algorithms, and physical modeling, as well as graduate-level work in robotics, perception, and machine learning. I’ve also pursued PhD research in robotics and AI, focusing on topics like autonomous navigation and multi-agent systems.

My teaching experience includes three semesters as a Computer Science teaching assistant at the university level, where I supported students by answering questions, grading, and helping with homework during office hours. More recently, I’ve worked as a math tutor at Mathnasium, where I’ve spent the past six months helping K–12 students build fluency, confidence, and a deeper understanding of math concepts through individualized instruction. In addition to tutoring, I’m currently developing a Scratch-based robotics course designed to introduce middle school students to core programming and problem-solving concepts in an engaging and interactive way.

I tailor my teaching approach to each student’s learning style, using clear explanations and real-world examples to make abstract ideas more accessible. I enjoy helping students not just get the right answer, but understand the “why” behind it—whether it’s in math, physics, computer science, or robotics.

Computer Science

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science and have served as a teaching assistant for three semesters at the university level, helping students understand core CS concepts and complete assignments. My background spans algorithms, data structures, programming languages, systems, and AI, with additional PhD-level research experience in robotics and machine learning. I’ve also tutored K–12 students in math and introduced middle schoolers to coding through a Scratch-based robotics course I’m currently developing. I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into approachable steps and helping students gain both confidence and mastery in Computer Science.
