Victor S.

I am a Data Science student at the London School of Economics (LSE) with a strong background in statistics, mathematics, computer science, finance, economics, and machine learning/AI. My research focuses on Large Language Models (LLMs) in financial applications, and my most recent paper is pending submission to NAACL – one of the world’s leading conferences in computational linguistics and AI research.

I studied at St Paul’s School, one of the top two secondary schools in the UK, where I was shortlisted for the High Master’s Prize for my work on applying natural language processing (NLP) in a financial context. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the admissions process for the UK’s most competitive secondary schools.

I bring real-world experience from internships at hedge funds and trading firms; I also have achieved top placements in quantitative trading competitions hosted by firms like Jane Street, G-Research, IMC Trading, and more.

As a tutor, I focus on providing students with clear, practical insights into theoretical concepts, ensuring they develop both the intuition and the skills to apply their learning in real-world contexts.
