computer science, ml, and math tutor

Venkat B.

My educational background is grounded in computer science and mathematics at UCLA, where I have focused on both theoretical foundations and applied problem solving. Through advanced coursework, I have developed a strong understanding of physics, mathematics, and computer science, as well as machine learning and related quantitative methods. This academic training has equipped me with the ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts and adapt explanations to different levels of background knowledge.

I have tutoring and teaching experience through my work at UCLA, where I served as a teaching assistant in programs supporting high school teachers in physics, mathematics, and computer science. In this role, I worked closely with educators to reinforce subject matter understanding, clarify core concepts, and provide structured guidance on problem-solving approaches. This experience required clear communication, patience, and the ability to break down advanced material into accessible explanations for learners with diverse academic backgrounds. In addition, I have taught and mentored undergraduate students in machine learning and mathematics, helping them understand both theoretical concepts and practical applications.

Across these experiences, I have worked with high school–level learners, teachers, and undergraduate students in both one-on-one and small-group instructional settings. My teaching approach emphasizes building strong conceptual foundations, encouraging critical thinking, and guiding students through their own reasoning processes rather than relying on rote memorization. Over time, I have developed the flexibility to tailor my instruction to individual learning styles and goals, ensuring that students gain confidence as well as a deeper understanding of the material.
