Bio

I graduated from Stanford in 2016 with a BS in Applied Math. During undergrad I focused primarily on statistics and machine learning.

I scored a 2370 on my SATs and a perfect 800 on the Reading and Grammar sections. Having tutored the SATs to dozens of students over the years, I can teach not only the required techniques for close reading but also test strategy and how to help students convert their knowledge to excellent scores.

Makes complex stat concepts seem easy

Myles has the unique ability of taking difficult data science and statistics concepts and breaking them down in ways that are easy to digest, providing real world analogies and step-by-step thinking processes for approaching scary looking problems. As a student taking an upper division university level data science course, there are many prerequisite concepts that are often difficult to piece together, but Myles has been able to provide the foundational support so I can solve these problems on my own.

Thanks for the kind words Kyle! Happy to help

Incredible Tutor

Myles was a fantastic tutor! He was able to explain and teach a complicated subject such as data modeling with ease. He is extremely patient and knows his stuff. I will definitely be asking Myles for help in the coming months. I learned a lot in our session and I credit it all to his teaching style. Thank you again, Myles!

Knowledgeable and dedicated tutor

Myles assisted me in brushing up my statistical skills, which I needed for new tasks at work. He helped me to interpret some complex statistical studies and prepared me to use some statistical tools and methods I had not used for several years. He was patient, a clear communicator, and dedicated to ensuring that I had the tools I needed to succeed. I highly recommend him as a statistics tutor.

Awesome tutor!

Myles is the best tutor! He teaches me the ideas of solving a problem in the C# coding language very effectively and patiently! I am a beginner level but after Myles teaches me only one question, I already know how to do the second coding question myself. I would recommend him to all! Choose Myles as your tutor, you will never be regret learning!

Myles is a great tutor

I was stuck on a Machine Learning course and with just one session with Myles I was able to untangle the issue and quickly move on with my programming exercise. After that I continue my sessions with Myles to support my ML learning. I think he has a great style where he helps you understand the why behind the work, and to find solutions on your own for the future. Also, me not-being a programmer or mathematician, I thought it was going to add difficulty to the session, but Myles was able to meet me at my level and from there help me learn/grow.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Myles helped me with an algorithms assignment, he was patient and walked me through the thought processes for coming up with tactics to solve the problems., and was great in clearing up concepts I did not understand. His teaching style of learning the concepts rather than simply providing the answer will help me in the long run, and I will be booking again!

Amazing tutor!

I arrived into my session without knowing nothing in R. I left the lesson feeling confident in my abilities to execute basic commands with Rcloud. Myles will challenge you to find answers, once you find them you will remember. Will book him again!

Knowledgeable, Patient and Intuitive!

Myles helped me with parallel computing, that was one of the toughest subjects for me. I was really lost with my assignment, but his directions and tutoring helped me tremendously. He is patient and very good at explaining things. In addition, he also tries to make himself available and work with his student’s schedule.

Thoughtful and good Teacher

I liked Myles first session today, he's a great teacher! He ensured his style of teaching was working and was "teaching. me how to fish" rather than. giving me a fish.
