Computer Science PhD, former UC Davis Machine Learning course instructor, teaching Python, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and Data Science

Robin is a kind, intelligent, and patient tutor. She genuinely cares about her students and will take the time to make sure they understand the material. Machine learning can be a complicated topic but Robin is well qualified for answering questions and breaks down topics in a structured and organized manner. I highly recommend Robin for her supportive nature and great attitude!

Robin takes the time to walk you through the steps to understand the problem. She then gives practice problems that incorporates what you just learned. Highly recommend her.

Robin is teaching me python and is a very patient teacher who doesn't mind repeating herself or going over things again if you need it. I'm only a few sessions in and I already know I made the right decision to choose her as my tutor for learning to program.

I have been receiving guidance from Robin over the past few weeks in my journey to delve into the realm of machine learning and data science. As someone with a solid background in programming but lacking experience in ML, Robin tailored each session to suit my level of understanding, ensuring that I could grasp the intricate concepts with ease. Recognizing my preference for a hands-on approach paired with theory, she adjusted the lesson plans accordingly, facilitating a holistic learning experience. This approach is guiding me towards a deeper understanding of the subject matter and equipping me with the necessary skills to confidently apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.
I wholeheartedly recommend Robin to anyone seeking guidance in machine learning and data science.

Dr. Yancey is a cheerful, friendly, and kind tutor. She is currently working with my son on a machine-learning project that is looking at the problem of detecting forged photos. We like working with Robin as she not only explains machine learning but also explains the mathematical theory behind the models. She is patient and extremely well-prepared for the sessions with detailed slides, notes, and lectures. This makes sense as she created two machine-learning classes during her time at UC Davis and they are still using her content for the classes today!
For anyone looking for her to tutor, she is very knowledgeable in machine learning and deep learning. She is also very skilled in Python and various machine-learning libraries such as PyTorch, Sklearn, Pandas, and NumPy.

I have been working with Robin bi-weekly for many months now. I had began doing an online course/credential/bootcamp program but I am so glad I continued to work with Robin instead. Her course lessons aligned with the general ML algorithms I needed to learn and I aced my interview questions when they asked about them! It was so much easier to understand the theory with her examples and having opportunity to talk things out with her. Additionally, I am so grateful that her lesson notes taught me how to implement each algorithm in code as well.
She also helped me with a python and LeetCode problems. (These were also in my interview and I did really well!) We normally do one session per week on python and one on ML. I didn’t know Python before working with her and now I’m a master at medium-hard LeetCode problems. She covered everything from basic to advanced data’s structures and algorithms in Python. It was much easier with someone to hold me accountable for writing quality code consistently. I learned Python much quicker than I could imagine!
I’m really looking forward to continuing to learn deep learning with her while I work in my current SW engineering position. She has a lot of experience in the top models used and knows efficient techniques to optimize them based on her past research work.

Robin is an incredibly knowledgeable mentor with a rich background in academia. During our sessions, she shared valuable insights on improving my statement of purpose and CV. Her guidance was extremely helpful. I definitely recommend her and look forward to working together again.

Robin is skilled in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and she's great at teaching these subjects. She helped me not only with learning about Machine Learning but also in getting ready for job interviews. I had a session with her that made my interview feel easy, and I learned many important techniques in Machine Learning which will be very useful for my studies and for my future career in this field. Robin is experienced, kind, patient, and very supportive. If you're looking for a tutor in the Machine Learning area, I really recommend choosing her.

Ive taken lots of classes with Robin and she always is well prepared for lessons. She even has very useful materials to help me learn (such as code examples and theoretical questions). She is patient and understanding for learning new concepts, since I am new to the field. She clearly adapts her teaching methods to my learning style/speed. Her past research work in her PhD in and PostDoc is alsovery impressive and helps to inspire me and give me new ideas for future research.
