About Preston
I’m Dr. Preston, a nuclear engineer, educator, and applied Artificial Intelligence practitioner with over a decade of teaching experience helping students achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.
My academic journey began at UC Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley and Livermore Laboratories, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Physics, and continued through graduate school, where I earned both my M.S. (2022) and Ph.D. (2025) in Nuclear Engineering with expertise in applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Professionally, I have worked across government, academia, and industry, applying advanced physics, engineering, and AI in real-world technical environments. This gives me a perspective that goes beyond textbooks. I teach not only the theory, but how these concepts are actually used in practice.
Over the past 10+ years, I have taught students across a wide range of subjects, from algebra and AP Physics to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, standardized test preparation (AFOQT, SAT/ACT, ASVAB), and other technical disciplines. Working with learners across age groups and experience levels has helped me develop a teaching style that is patient, adaptable, structured, and focused on results.
Students often choose to work with me because I combine deep technical expertise with the ability to explain difficult ideas clearly and without intimidation. Whether you are just beginning, trying to master a difficult course, preparing for an exam, changing careers, or building advanced technical skills, my goal is to help you gain confidence, capability, and lasting understanding.
I genuinely enjoy helping people unlock potential they may not yet see in themselves, and I look forward to being part of your learning journey.

My lessons are highly personalized, practical, and results-driven. Artificial Intelligence can feel overwhelming at first, so my teaching approach focuses on making complex concepts intuitive, structured, and immediately applicable.
I begin by assessing your current experience, goals, strengths, and learning style, then build a customized learning pathway designed specifically for you. Whether you are preparing for coursework, transitioning into AI professionally, building projects, preparing for interviews, conducting research, or learning out of curiosity, each lesson is tailored to create measurable progress.
A typical lesson may include conceptual explanation, visual walkthroughs, guided coding in Python, hands-on exercises, project development, debugging support, and discussion of real-world applications. Depending on your goals, I may also incorporate customized interactive learning tools, adaptive practice environments, and data-driven learning pathways that dynamically adjust difficulty, pacing, and focus areas based on your progress and performance.
Topics include machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, generative AI, large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering, AI agents, natural language processing, computer vision, model evaluation, explainability, and deployment fundamentals.
What sets my lessons apart is the combination of academic rigor, practical implementation, and intelligent personalization. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I leverage adaptive teaching strategies and modern educational tooling to ensure lessons remain engaging, efficient, and appropriately challenging as your skills grow.
My lessons are ideal for beginners, high school and university students, graduate researchers, working professionals, career changers, entrepreneurs, and technically curious learners seeking real, hands-on Artificial Intelligence mentorship.
