Jack King (MIT)

Hi! I'm a sophomore at MIT studying Computer Science and Neuroscience with a double major in Writing. Currently, I'm working on an AI based startup called Oculo, the first platform for providing day-to-day brain health information. I also play varsity water polo at MIT, and in my freetime I read books and surf!

I'm passionate about how machine intelligence and human intelligence can be used to inform each other, and to that end I've been studying machine learning and have been invested in the humanities since high school. I'm adept in the tools needed to explore this area of study: calculus, statistics, computer science, and writing. Not only have I taken many classes in these fields, both in high school and at MIT, but I was a Machine Learning Engineer at a startup in Boston, and I have conducted statistics research on natural language. I'm a strong writer: I got 5's on both AP English tests and I recieved the schoolwide Writing Award my senior year of high school. On top of all of this, I have taken two Physics classes at MIT so I am well versed in that material.

I've loved teaching since I was young. In high school, I was a Teacher's Assistant in English for two years. During those summers, I worked at MVCode in Redwood City, where I taught Computer Science to kids ranging from 1st to 8th grade. And just last year I got my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification and taught English in Mexico. I'm passionate about guiding students towards understanding difficult concepts, and I'd love to help you!
