Yeriko - Know your tutor
Hello there , I’m Yeriko. I teach Python, stats, and machine learning through real, exciting projects: sound, video, even game-style systems — so it actually clicks. I’ve built models at Ford Motor Company and Chrysler, and I bring that same real-world energy into how I teach. We’re not just learning, we’re building cool things with data. Here, you won’t just “coding” — you’ll use it to build, experiment, and think like a data scientist. From predicting trends to designing machine learning systems, we’ll break things down so they actually make sense — no fluff, no confusion. Lately, I’ve been building a music recommendation system that treats audio like data you can understand. Instead of guessing songs, the system breaks music down into energy, texture, and dynamics using signal processing, then organizes it with PCA and clustering to create “states” of sound. From there, it selects the next track using similarity + rules like BPM, key, and energy flow — basically thinking like a DJ but powered by machine learning. It’s a perfect example of how we take something creative and turn it into a structured, intelligent system — and that’s exactly how I teach. Also — I’m strong in SQL and tools like Tableau/Studio, so we don’t just build models, we learn how to work with real data end-to-end.

Programming class overview
I specialize in tutoring students for homework, exams, and especially big exams, building understanding from the ground up. My approach is comprehensive, covering both theory in statistics and mathematics and practical Python coding. This ensures you're not just exam-ready but also equipped with essential programming skills. I emphasize Python solutions alongside statistical concepts, offering a dual-track learning path. My aim is to prepare you not just for academic success but for a thriving career in data science. With me, you get the tools and knowledge to excel in both the classroom and the professional world.

Computer Science concepts taught by Yeriko
The session was a demo lesson focused on R Studio programming for an undergraduate Economics course (Econ 221). The Student sought help with a homework assignment involving data analysis concepts such as identifying missing values, understanding variables, constructing new variables, analyzing relationships, and calculating probabilities. The Tutor explained these concepts in detail, relating them to economics and discussing a plan to work through the homework questions and prepare for an upcoming midterm.
Grouping Data for Comparative Analysis
Introduction to Probability Concepts in Data
Analyzing Relationships Between Variables
Feature Engineering: Creating New Variables
Understanding Data Variables and Structures
Handling Missing Values (NA
NaN) in R
The student and tutor worked on establishing Python connectivity for trading applications, troubleshooting API errors, and understanding programming kernels. They then explored the differences between machine learning and deep learning, followed by a discussion on applying data science to music composition using MIDI notation. The session concluded with the creation of a dedicated Python environment for music-related packages.
MIDI for Music Representation
Python Environment Management (Conda)
Understanding Kernels in Computing
Machine Learning vs. Deep Learning
The student and tutor explored the distinctions between supervised and unsupervised machine learning, particularly in the context of computer vision and data representation. They discussed how images and music can be converted into numerical data for analysis and how this can be applied to various fields. Future sessions were planned to cover setting up development environments and further explore music generation projects.
Supervised vs. Unsupervised Learning
Computer Vision: Pixels to Vectors
Feature Extraction and Data Representation
Clustering and Pattern Recognition
The student and tutor worked on various website development tasks, including image optimization, affiliate link integration, and content/styling adjustments on a WordPress site. They planned follow-up sessions to continue these improvements and discuss the potential implementation of a chatbot feature.
User Interface Elements: Pop-ups and Zoom Features
AI Chatbot Development Stages
Website Content Renaming and Hyperlinking
Responsive Design and Alignment
Website Image Optimization
Affiliate Disclosure Banners
The Student presented their WordPress website, detailing specific requirements for mobile optimization of H1 headings, integration of Amazon affiliate banners, and removal of embedded theme text from image banners. The Tutor provided an initial assessment and outlined a plan to implement these web development and design changes, with a follow-up session scheduled to transfer the updated files.
User Experience (UX) & Design Refinements
Website Performance & SEO Foundations
WordPress Theme Customization & Content Management
Amazon Affiliate Banner Integration
Mobile Responsiveness: H1 Headings & Centering
The Student and Tutor engaged in a wide-ranging discussion covering principles of aerodynamics, the application of AI and statistics in fields like rocketry and medical diagnostics, and personal data tracking for self-improvement. The Student also demonstrated and explained techniques for playing complex drum rhythms. They made plans to cover Python and app development in their next session.
