About Mitchell


Bio

I have an M.S. in Informatics from Penn State University and a B.S. in Computer Science from Oregon State University. My background is primarily in computer science and AI, with experience in Python, machine learning, natural language processing, and large language models. I have also worked as a research assistant at Penn State, where I developed AI systems, conducted research, and worked collaboratively with lab members.

I have an M.S. in Informatics from Penn State University and a B.S. in Computer Science from Oregon State University. My background is primarily in computer science and AI, with experience in Python, machine learning, natural language processing, and large language models. I have also worked as a research assistant at Penn State, where I developed AI systems, conducted research, and worked collaboratively with lab members.

The biggest thing I want to bring to tutoring is the development of curiosity. Computer science can be frustrating when you're learning it as a collection of rules, syntax, and formulas that you're expected to memorize. I think it becomes much more approachable when you start asking why something works, what is actually happening underneath it, and how the pieces connect.

That's how I approach problems myself, and it's how I want to teach. Rather than simply showing a student the solution, I like to break a problem down, ask questions, experiment with examples, and work toward the answer together. If we're working on code, for example, I don't just want a student to leave with working code. I want them to understand why it works, why their original approach didn't work, and how they could reason through a similar problem on their own next time.

My strongest areas are Python, computer science fundamentals, machine learning, AI, natural language processing, and large language models. I'm comfortable working with students who are learning the fundamentals as well as students who want to explore more advanced AI and machine learning topics.

My professional background has been in research and software development where I explained technical ideas discussed solutions to technical and research problems.

Approved Subjects

Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I have a strong background in computer programming, with a B.S. in Computer Science and an M.S. in Informatics. My primary experience is with Python, including developing AI and machine learning applications, working with APIs and databases, and building data processing and automation tools. I also have experience with object-oriented programming, algorithms, data structures, software development practices, and debugging complex problems. My teaching approach focuses on helping students learn how to think through problems and build genuine understanding, rather than simply memorizing solutions.

Data Science

Data Science

I have an M.S. in Informatics and hands-on experience using Python for data analysis, statistical modeling, machine learning, and natural language processing. My experience includes working with real-world datasets, cleaning and transforming data, identifying meaningful patterns, and applying statistical and machine learning techniques to answer research questions. I have also conducted academic research involving data analysis and have experience communicating technical findings through research papers and visualizations. When teaching data science, I focus on helping students understand the reasoning behind the methods they use so they can learn to approach new problems independently.
Machine Learning/ AI

Machine Learning/ AI

I have an M.S. in Informatics with a research focus on machine learning, natural language processing, and large language models, along with a B.S. in Computer Science. My experience includes developing machine learning models, working with neural networks and NLP techniques, and building LLM applications using technologies such as RAG, vector embeddings, vector databases, and AI agents. I have experience with both the theoretical foundations of machine learning and the practical process of implementing and evaluating AI systems in Python. When teaching AI and machine learning, I focus on building intuition and understanding so students learn how and why these techniques work rather than simply memorizing formulas or code.
Python

Python

I have extensive experience using Python for software development, data science, machine learning, AI, automation, and academic research. I have used Python to build applications involving APIs, databases, data processing pipelines, machine learning models, RAG systems, and LLM-powered tools. My background in computer science has also given me a strong foundation in object-oriented programming, data structures, algorithms, debugging, and software design. When teaching Python, I focus on helping students understand how to reason through programming problems and develop the skills to find solutions independently rather than simply memorizing syntax.
