About Conan


Bio

Hi there! My name is Conan, and I currently work as a Quantitative Analyst at a bank but would love to get back into teaching! I recently obtained my Master's degree in Applied Data Science from Carnegie Mellon University. Prior to that, I obtained my B.A. in Statistics and Data Science from the University of California, Berkeley.

Hi there! My name is Conan, and I currently work as a Quantitative Analyst at a bank but would love to get back into teaching! I recently obtained my Master's degree in Applied Data Science from Carnegie Mellon University. Prior to that, I obtained my B.A. in Statistics and Data Science from the University of California, Berkeley.

My teaching experience has mostly been with university students. At UC Berkeley I spent two years as a TA teaching large discussion and lab sections for data science courses such as Data C8 and Data C100. Besides teaching, I also led the development of worksheets, homework assignments, and exams for these classes. At Carnegie Mellon University I served as a TA for 36-235 and 36-236, the introductory probability and statistics courses.

I've been a teacher to hundreds of college-aged students with varying levels of math and coding backgrounds. I am confident in my abilities to cater to students with different experience levels, especially using non-technical language and incorporating digestible analogies and examples towards beginners. Having also been in school until recently, I can empathize greatly with students and quickly recognize what they might struggle with and how to tackle that.

Approved Subjects

Data Science

Data Science

I've earned my B.A. in Statistics and Data Science from UC Berkeley, and my M.S. in Applied Data Science from Carnegie Mellon University. I've spent 2 years teaching lower- and upper-division data science courses at UC Berkeley, serving as the pedagogy lead and driving content development. I also wrote a data science honor's thesis regarding students' assignment extension request behavior in computer science education. Currently, I work as a quantitative analyst at a bank where I build, deploy, and monitor various machine learning models for managing credit risk.
Probability

Probability

I work with probability every day for my job, building and managing models that predict the probability of certain financial risks. I've also taught probability extensively, teaching probability and statistics for a year and CMU and two years of data science courses at UC Berkeley. My M.S and B.A are also in statistics and data science so I am confident in my knowledge and expertise regarding probability, as well as my ability to teach it in a digestible and meaningful way to students.
Python

Python

I use Python every day for my job, building and managing models to help the financial institution run smoothly. I've also taught Python extensively, teaching lower- and upper-division data science courses for two years at UC Berkeley. My M.S and B.A are also in statistics and data science where Python is prevalent, so I am confident in my ability to teach Python in an easy-to-understand way to students coming from various backgrounds and experience levels.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I've gotten a 800 on SAT Math and a 170 on GRE Math, and you can too! My education has largely been in mathematics, having received my M.S. and B.A. in statistics and data science. I've also taught statistics and data science for over three years to a wide range of college students, so I'm confident that I'll be able to cater my teaching style and depth of explanations to students of any background or experience level.
Statistics

Statistics

I work with statistics every day for my job, building and managing financial models to help the institution run smoothly. I've also taught statistics extensively, teaching probability and statistics for a year and CMU and two years of data science courses at UC Berkeley.
