Approved Subjects

Data Science

Data Science

I currently work as a Data Scientist, developing and researching machine learning models. I am knowledgeable about classic methods of modeling and visualization and implementing them in python (i.e. LangChain, pandas, sklearn, numpy, PyTorch). I am also comfortable with reinforcement learning and NLP. Furthermore, I have a solid grasp of the mathematical underpinnings of machine learning, having a math PhD from UIUC.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I have a PhD in mathematics and have written several research papers in Discrete Mathematics. Furthermore, I was a teacher's assistant for this course. Beyond this, I successfully tutored a student in the area and they received an A in their course.
Linear Algebra
Probability

A True Python Subject Matter Expert

I worked with George on a Python project where I needed to implement a variety of methods of a class to analyze text. The text was instantiated via objects that were in the form of parameters identified as a URL, a file denoted by a txt extension, or a string of text. As a student with no previous computing experience, George was very respectful, patient, and understood what I needed to accomplish. He helped me complete a Jupyter Notebook via the Wyzant desktop platform where he showed me how to implement Python methods of a class. He walked me through the coding process where he explained the logic, syntax, instances of a class, and how instances get passed as parameters. Through his instruction, I was able to successfuly complete my project. I learned so much from George. He possesses tremendous technical acumen and is a very accomplished academically. He has a pleasant disposition and was very effective within our allotted time to help me complete the Python activities I needed to submit as part of the project’s requirements. I would recommend George to any student who needs assistance with Python. I am also very pleased with Wyzant for offering such a professional interface for students like me to seek assistance that provides a clear return on investment.

Probably the best tutor you will ever get

Highly knowledgeable in mathematics, statistics, data science, python. He was able to walk me through everything on my assignment and more. Introduced me to new methods for approaching problems and how to think about how to use certain types of analysis for different uses.
