Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I am a professional Python Data Scientist and tutor. I work daily in data manipulation in Pandas, visualization through Plotly, building machine learning and deep learning models, and building notebooks and scripts. I excel in tutoring students through bootcamps and college certificates, and have taught dozens of people from MIT students to Google engineers. My schedule is very flexible so I will be available as-needed or continuously. My hourly rates are higher than average, but I teach more quickly, concisely, and in-depth, and am able to help solve issues very quickly, saving my students money and time. I ensure my students learn the material very, very well.

Excellent teacher! Very knowledgeable and thorough

Michael helped me with a Python assignment. He did a great job explaining confusing concepts and making sure I understood each part of the assignment. He is very organized and patient. His teaching style is very effective and he does a great job at making programming a less stressful experience.

Thank you! It was a pleasure. Best of luck with your studies.

Very nice teacher!! Highly recommend!

We learned a lot today. Michael taught us how to do freestyle and breaststroke appropriately. And we are confident to practice by ourselves. Michael is very patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend if you wanna learn swimming.

Great

Helped me do in one hour what I could not do in four. I'm very appreciative of his knowledge he was able to explain some of the common issues associated with the project as well as some additional options for making it better.

Python Decision Tree Lesson

Michael did a good job of explaining the principals of building a decision tree model in Python. I am pleased with the lesson and his knowledge of machine learning and Python.

Machine Learning - Great session

Michael is a very knowledgeable and skilled tutor. He explains the material thoroughly and makes it easy to understand. He taught me a lot from the basics of python to machine learning very efficiently. I learned Python visualization, regression, F1 score, ROC Curves. Thank you very much, Micheal!

Great Tutor: Print Statements to Machine Learning in 4 Weeks

Started my lessons with Michael back in mid January & had no previous experience coding in python. I am chemist by trade but wanted to learn more about python since there are tons of applications. From the first meeting he had me up & running writing code where I was struggling to import basic software packages & do print statements. We are currently several lessons in & we are tackling projects such as machine learning & web scraping. I have definitely learned a ton & it has opened my eye to the overall landscape of where AI technology is headed. If you are considering learning python Michael will do a great job of getting you up & going. I would highly recommend!

Great Tutor

Very helpful with learning data science in python, specifically naive bayes and random forests. Was very responsive and helpful via messages as well as through the meet.

Very helpful and Knowledgeable

Michael is very clear in his explanations and making sure that you understand everything that he says. He taught me how about how to apply machine learning to a problem using a biological publicly available dataset and we also went over data wrangling, string manipulation and regex (a pattern recognition algorithm). If you haven't used his services yet, I would highly recommend!

Professional and knowledgeable

My son really enjoyed the session with Michael. He joined the lesson on time and seemed very knowledgeable! He prepared to make an assessment on my son’s knowledge base and proposed a study plan as a result. He seemed very passionate and good with young children. Thank you Michael!

Great Session!

Michael is patient and very knowledge. He knows how to teach in addition to knowing the material. I worked on coding with Data Science. Michael helped me to understand the coding and the concepts of the subject that I was working on.
