🎓 Data Science & Machine Learning Tutor

From July 2020 to September 2021, I taught data science and machine learning remotely for edX during the pandemic. Across 900+ students at Vanderbilt, UC Berkeley, and 24+ other universities, the work was simple to describe and hard to do well: turn intimidating technical material into the next clear move.
