Hi! My name's PJ, and I recently completed my undergraduate in Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, and my M.S. Operations Research, all at Columbia. My coursework spans PDEs, real analysis, algebra, probability, and computational complexity, ranging from undergraduate to the PhD level. I have earned A's in PhD-level Analysis/Probability/Stochastic Modeling courses, giving me a rigorous mathematical foundation that I bring directly into my teaching.
I spent three years as a Head Teaching Assistant in Columbia's Statistics department, serving graduate-level courses in Probability Theory, Statistical Inference, Linear Regression, and Stochastic Processes. In that role, I held regular one-on-one and small group office hours, wrote original expository materials, and delivered recitation lectures to classes of undergraduate and graduate students. Based on teaching evaluations, 80% of my tutees showed measurable improvement in academic performance. This experience taught me how to meet students where they are, whether they need help building intuition from scratch or pushing through the more technically demanding aspects of a proof-based course.
I am confident tutoring mathematics, statistics, probability, and computer science subjects at the undergraduate and graduate level, and I am comfortable working with students one-on-one or in small groups.
