Fun Facts
I've read all the Sagas of Icelanders.
About Me
I am a science/oregon/portland">computer science master's student at Portland State. Eventually I hope to get a PhD in complex systems. I like to paint and read.
Experience
I have helped teach small children for UC Berkeley's ATDP program. I studied art and history for my undergraduate degree, and before starting my MSc I took math and CS courses equivalent to a BSc.
Approach
I lost interest in math in high school because of bad teaching and I didn't pick it up again until I could see it as a way of talking about things that interested me. Understanding starts with motivation. I prefer visual explanations and concrete examples where possible.
Request Me NowArts Tutoring
I studied drawing, painting, sculpture and game design for four years. While these days I do abstract art, I believe any art practice should be grounded in observational study.
C++ Tutoring
I've completed all the core undergraduate CS courses at PSU. These are mostly taught in C++.
Calculus I Tutoring
I took AP calculus in high school and took Calculus I again after my art degree.
Computer Programming Tutoring
I've completed all the core undergraduate CS courses at PSU, including data structures and operating systems. I am currently working on a scientific computing project.
Computer Science Tutoring
I have studied algorithms, data structures, and theory of computation at the undergraduate level and algorithms at the graduate level.
Elementary Statistics Tutoring
I have completed introductory statistics courses at Portland State, as well as a graduate course on statistics of networks.
C Tutoring
C was the language of instruction for several courses I took at Portland State, and closely related to C++ which was the language for others.
Javascript Tutoring
I make data visualizations and math examples in javascript using D3 and KATEX. You can see some of these on my website - web.cecs.pdx.edu/altj
Python Tutoring
I use python for simple calculations and for more complex scientific projects, like analyzing GIS data and modeling network dynamics.
