About Max


Bio

Hi, I'm Max! I'm a machine learning researcher with a proven track record as a tutor for math, physics, and computer science at the high school and undergraduate level.

My approach to tutoring centers around building both confidence and intuition. Many students find themselves struggling with new subjects and decide that they simply “aren’t a math person” or that the material is inherently out of reach.

Hi, I'm Max! I'm a machine learning researcher with a proven track record as a tutor for math, physics, and computer science at the high school and undergraduate level.

My approach to tutoring centers around building both confidence and intuition. Many students find themselves struggling with new subjects and decide that they simply “aren’t a math person” or that the material is inherently out of reach. I pride myself on my ability to explain a concept from multiple angles and demonstrate the "why" of a topic. My goal is always to help students become independent, confident learners who can reason through new problems on their own.

Outside the university setting, I have several years of one-on-one tutoring experience in mathematics and physics, including AP Calculus and AP Physics, as well as volunteer tutoring through my high school’s Math Honor Society, where I was recognized for outstanding service.

My teaching experience includes academic settings as well as individualized tutoring. I served as a Teaching Assistant for an upper-level Machine Learning course at the University of Virginia, where I advised student projects and provided support for class topics outside of lecture hours.

I have a Master's degree in computer science with a focus on machine learning, having recently completed my graduate research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I graduated with Highest Distinction from the University of Virginia School of Engineering with a BS in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics.

My approach to learning and test preparation has allowed me to achieve: 800 on SAT Math II Subject Test, 800 Physics Subject Test, 1560 SAT (one attempt), GRE 340/340, plus 5’s on AP Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Physics C: Mechanics, Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism, and Computer Science A. I look forward to helping you succeed with your testing ambitions, too!

Skilled, experienced science and math tutor

Max has been helping our high school senior daughter with AP Physics C Mechanics and AP BC Calculus. Max is patient, low-key and good-humored and keeps lessons focused and productive. My daughter is a very capable student, and was reluctant to work with a tutor, thinking she should be able to juggle a rigorous class load (including 3 AP courses), sports, college applications, and extracurricular activities all on her own. Max has superior math and science skills and comes up with simple illustrations/examples that make complicated physics concepts clearer, but does so in a manner that is not patronizing, but invites the student to ask questions, make mistakes, figure it out, and really master the material. My daughter's grades are improving, and she is catching up on late assignments and gaining confidence. Max is timely, reliable, organized and professional in communication, scheduling, and during tutoring sessions.
