"Hello, I'm Adrian. I teach math and computer science. I hold a BS in pure mathematics and a PhD in algebraic geometry. I've never been a perfect student myself, and so I know that by the time students reach advanced subjects have taken many paths, and that each has strengths and weaknesses. My approach centers on finding the skills to advance for each person, and targeting the misconceptions holding them back from their potential. I work with students on problems selected for their level, so they can build confidence to propel their mathematical journey.

In classrooms I've taught many levels, concentrating on the calculus sequence. This was frustrating; my students didn't get 1-on-1 attention. Better was working in the tutoring center. After that I spent a few years in South America teaching students on Chegg (when Chegg tutors was active). This was a growth experience for me and my students. On any day I could be teaching anything from algebra to

stochastic calculus, or from Python for first time programmers through compiler construction.

Subjects I would be a good choice for include:

* Upper level calculus and analysis.

* Some probability and stochastic calculus.

* Abstract algebra, linear algebra, algebraic number theory and geometry.

For CS work, students do best when motivated to solve a problem. Professionally, I have solved many math-adjacent problems so I can help with data structures and algorithms practice (over 250 medium+ LeetCode solutions). I've contributed to software in web publishing and a Python-JVM compiler. My main languages are Python and Ocaml. Topics I'm a good choice for include:

* Functional programming. I use OCaml, but can help with Haskell or Racket

* Programming language theory

* Mathematics for machine learning

Please tell me your needs. I'm most interested in helping those students who have been under-served by the current educational system, or in projects that combine my interests. Lesson pricing depends on the amount of preparation." less...
