Bio

As a tutor with a passion for mathematics and computer science, I strive to break down complex concepts into understandable pieces for my students. I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from Michigan State University, where I conducted research in human-involved AI.

As a tutor with a passion for mathematics and computer science, I strive to break down complex concepts into understandable pieces for my students. I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from Michigan State University, where I conducted research in human-involved AI. Prior to my graduate studies, I obtained Bachelor's degrees in Pure Mathematics and CSE from the University of Toledo. I specialize primarily in Computer Science Theory, Mathematics, Analysis of Algorithms, Evolutionary Computation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

My journey with math began early on as I excelled in the subject from a young age. I went on to study advanced mathematics and computer science at the graduate level. Along the way, I discovered my love of teaching others and helping them grasp concepts that can seem daunting.

In my prior experience as a teaching assistant at Michigan State University, I taught undergraduate computer science and discrete mathematics courses for two years. I assisted students both in large lab settings and during office hours in one-on-one or small group meetings. I enjoyed tailoring my explanations to each student's needs, and finding creative ways to break down complex proofs and algorithms. My goal with every student is to instill confidence in their own abilities.

In addition to my teaching, I have three years of experience tutoring undergraduate math students in topics like real analysis and calculus. I aim to keep students engaged by encouraging questions and using relevant examples. I understand that every student learns differently, which is why I take the time to understand how each student best absorbs new information.

Whether you are looking for help in math, computer science, or graduate-level AI, I would be excited to work with you. My approach combines patience, enthusiasm, and depth of knowledge cultivated through my advanced studies. Please feel free to contact me if you think I may be a good fit as you tutor. I look forward to hearing from you!

Approved Subjects

Computer Engineering

Computer Engineering

I received my master's in Computer Science & Engineering from Michigan State University where I was TA for several undergraduate Computer Science & Engineering courses including operating systems, introductory computer science courses, and discrete structures. I have always excelled at instructing students at a level that is appropriate given their current understanding and have a long track record of positive feedback from students I have worked with. I love to help students understand the significance of the subject they are studying by helping them see its importance with respect to the broader academic landscape and encouraging them to find their own reason to pursue mastery.
Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I have an MS in Computer Science & Engineering from Michigan State University. During my time at MSU I worked as a TA for 2 years and during my undergraduate years I tutored students in programming for two more years. I have 1 year of experience as a research engineering intern in software and AI/ML teams in the automotive industry. I love programming, and I am confident in my ability to teach it effectively to all skill levels.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I received and MS in computer science & engineering from Michigan State University in 2023. During my time in graduate school I was a teaching assistant for courses such as C++, Operating Systems, and Discrete Structures. I have a BS in CSE and pure mathematics from the University of Toledo and have several research internships in software engineering and data science at companies like Ford Motor Company.
Data Science

Data Science

I have a MS in Computer Science & Engineering from Michigan State University and Bachelor's degrees in CSE and Mathematics from the University of Toledo. My interest in data science started during my undergraduate years with mathematical statistics and statistical machine learning, then during my graduate school I worked in a lab focused on human-centered AI where I published research using automotive insurance datasets. I especially love tying real world results to rigorous mathematical theory. I have been tutoring or teaching for several years now and want to help others learn to enjoy data science as much as I do.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I received my MS in computer science & engineering from Michigan State University in 2023 after studying both CSE and pure mathematics at the University of Toledo. I worked for 2 years as a TA during graduate school in addition to time as a research assistant, with one of those years teaching discrete structures. I have a strong knowledge of discrete mathematics, graph theory, logic, combinatorics, and algorithms and it is my favorite subject to tutor.
Logic

Logic

I have completed an MS in computer science & engineering at MSU after studying both CSE and pure mathematics in undergrad, where I did research at the intersection of abstract algebra and discrete mathematics. My research is focused mainly on AI, but I also have strong interest in evolutionary computation, discrete mathematics, and cs theory. I was a teaching assistant for a course focusing on formal logic for undergraduate students and have excelled in graduate level formal logic focused coursework.
Probability

Probability

I have an MS in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) from Michigan State University and Bachelor’s Degrees in both CSE and Pure Mathematics from the University of Toledo. My interests have always toed the line between computer science and pure mathematics which has led to a deep interest in the theory of probability due to its unique combination of mathematical beauty and usefulness in research in both Computer Science Theory and Machine Learning. I have tutored advanced math courses for the last 4 years and pride myself on my ability to distill the essence of mathematical results and explain it in a way that is both approachable and fundamentally sound.
Python

Python

I have a master’s degree in computer science & engineering from MSU and years of experience working with Python programming. I used Python in almost all of my work and research, and I was a teaching assistant for my university’s Introductory CS course in addition to several other computer science courses. I have a passion for teaching computer science and math and believe Python is an ideal vehicle for teaching fundamental CS concepts.

Knowledgeable and extremely helpful tutor

Allen helped me with my computer science theory course. He was incredibly clear and thorough when explaining concepts. I recommend him to anyone who needs help with cs theory or advanced computer science topics.

Elizabeth, 7 lessons with Allen

Extremely knowledgeable in computer science content.

Allen is very knowledgeable in Comp Sci content. We meet for Theory of Computation - Discrete Math but he is so good at everything. He requests the assignment in advance so he is always prepared and doesn't waste any of your time. Very patient and makes you feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

Landon, 5 lessons with Allen

Very effective and very patient

Allen helped me with my master's level Design and Analysis of Allgorithms class. He knows his stuff and is very patient and encouraging when he teaches. Would be lost without him.
