Whether you're an undergraduate Software Engineering student, AP Computer Science student, or a graduate preparing for a job interview, I can help! I've worked with students of all ages and I can help you to achieve your goals no matter your background and your learning style.

I'm an experienced software/ML engineer, and a patient teacher with years of experience in tutoring.

I worked as an ML engineer at Apple in Cupertino for 2 years, and as a web developer before that. I have been doing private tutoring for about 3 years. I have a BS in Computer Science from the University of New South Wales and an MFA in Game Design from New York University

Here are some topics I can help with:
- General programming (esp. Python, C, C#, JS, Java)
- AP Computer Science (A & Principles)
- Algorithms & data structures
- Coding challenges & whiteboarding practice
- AI/ML fundamentals (theoretical & applied)
- Systems programming and OS
- Web development and web design – HTML, JS, CSS
- Game design and development (esp. Unity or Game Maker)
- Theoretical computer science (theory of computation, type theory, etc)
- Statistics, linear algebra, discrete math
- Math I or II SAT
- Physics SAT

Please get in touch to discuss how I can help you achieve your learning goals!
I charge $79/hr for an online meeting, but I can do a discount for weekly sessions so please ask me about discounted rates.

Look forward to meeting :)

Patient and Extremely Knowledgable

Darwin is amazing! I was struggling with my college-level computer science theory homework, and he broke down complex problems into clear, digestible steps that made everything so much easier to understand. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and always comes prepared, having reviewed the assignments before each meeting.
