Edward is a physics and mathematics graduate of Johns Hopkins University with nearly a decade of experience as a data scientist and machine learning engineer. Alongside his professional work, he has remained deeply engaged in academic mathematics and physics through tutoring, maintaining a strong command of advanced material while helping students build clarity and confidence. Edward discovered his aptitude for mathematics early, competing at the national level in MATHCOUNTS and earning top scores on advanced mathematics and physics competitions. At Johns Hopkins, he completed concurrent degrees in Physics and Mathematics, along with a master’s degree in Mathematics, graduating with honors and conducting research in machine learning and applied economics.
Edward works with a wide range of students, from mathematically gifted high schoolers seeking a competitive edge to college students tackling advanced and graduate-level coursework. His teaching emphasizes conceptual understanding over rote memorization, helping students develop critical-thinking skills and study strategies that support long-term success. He is particularly skilled at identifying how individual students think and adapting his instruction to meet their learning style.
In addition to his technical background, Edward has a strong foundation in financial economics and applied statistics. His academic and professional experience includes probabilistic modeling, Monte Carlo simulations, A/B testing, and the analysis of financial and economic data. Through research and industry work, he has applied statistical reasoning to evaluate risk, identify patterns, and inform data-driven decision-making—skills he brings into his teaching when helping students connect theory to real-world applications.
Above all, Edward is driven by a genuine passion for teaching. He excels at breaking down complex ideas, offering multiple pathways to understanding, and guiding students toward deeper insight and independence as learners.
