"Hi, I'm Max! I'm a machine learning researcher with a proven track record as a tutor for math, physics, and computer science at the high school and undergraduate level.

My approach to tutoring centers around building both confidence and intuition. Many students find themselves struggling with new subjects and decide that they simply “aren’t a math person” or that the material is inherently out of reach. I pride myself on my ability to explain a concept from multiple angles and demonstrate the "why" of a topic. My goal is always to help students become independent, confident learners who can reason through new problems on their own.

Outside the university setting, I have several years of one-on-one tutoring experience in mathematics and physics, including AP Calculus and AP Physics, as well as volunteer tutoring through my high school’s Math Honor Society, where I was recognized for outstanding service.

My teaching experience includes academic settings as well as individualized tutoring. I served as a Teaching Assistant for an upper-level Machine Learning course at the University of Virginia, where I advised student projects and provided support for class topics outside of lecture hours.

I have a Master's degree in computer science with a focus on machine learning, having recently completed my graduate research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I graduated with Highest Distinction from the University of Virginia School of Engineering with a BS in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics.

My approach to learning and test preparation has allowed me to achieve: 800 on SAT Math II Subject Test, 800 Physics Subject Test, 1560 SAT (one attempt), GRE 340/340, plus 5’s on AP Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Physics C: Mechanics, Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism, and Computer Science A. I look forward to helping you succeed with your testing ambitions, too!
