I’m an Electrical Engineering & Computer Science undergrad from UC Berkeley (currently building a fintech lending platform) with a deep foundation in math, computer science, and physics. I specialize in taking “hard” topics like Linear Algebra, Calculus, AP Statistics, and intro CS (Python/Java, AP... (read more)
Hello there! I am Mordecai, a current master's student at UCLA studying Data Science in Biomedicine and having completed my undergraduate studies at UCLA in MIMG (Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics) with a bioinformatics minor. I went to high school at Oxford Academy, where I graduated with a weighted academic GPA of 4.61 and a SAT score of 1560. (read more)
...A number of the students I have worked with have been home schooled.

I believe that understanding why something works is just as important as knowing how to do it. My goal is to make subjects less intimidating by breaking concepts down in a way that makes sense to you. (read more)
...I enjoy the challenge and creativity involved in finding new ways to teach complex concepts to students. I find it incredibly rewarding when a tricky topic finally clicks for a student, and I can tell they really understand it. In middle school and high school, I took as many accelerated math classes as I could, from advanced geometry all the way through AP Calculus and AP Statistics. (read more)
