"Hello, I'm Nicholas! I'm a Master's student at UC San Diego, specializing in Artificial Intelligence with a background in machine learning. Additionally, I have industry experience as a Software Engineer at Western Digital, where I specialized in performance and power optimizations for firmware on Hard Disk Drives (HDDs).

Over the past three years, primarily in Math and Computer Science, I've been a tutor catering to students across various educational levels—from elementary school (K-12) to undergraduate students. My tutoring approach emphasizes breaking down complex concepts into simple, digestible steps, helping students build a strong foundation and develop confidence in subjects that can sometimes feel overwhelming. I have worked with small groups, tutoring up to 10 students at a time, and tailor my teaching methods to fit each individual's learning style and pace.

In Math, I have taught topics ranging from elementary arithmetic and algebra to more advanced subjects like calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. For Computer Science, I cover topics including basic programming (Python, Java, C++), algorithms, data structures, and more specialized areas such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and embedded systems.

Beyond academics, I've also been a swim instructor for several years, working with individuals of all ages—from infants as young as 6 months to adults. This experience has honed my ability to teach patience, encouragement, and adaptability, skills that seamlessly translate into my tutoring philosophy. I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can feel comfortable asking questions and exploring challenging topics at their own pace.

Whether you're looking for help in math subjects like trigonometry, calculus, and linear algebra or are interested computer science topics like programming, algorithms, and machine learning, I'm here to help guide you through your learning journey!" less...
