Intro to Programming and Computational Thinking with Python

From 48 € /h

Want to learn how to tell the computer to solve scientific problems, homeworks, create a basic AI (artificial intelligence), simplify your life by quickly processing thousands of files (text, web, Excel etc.), cook belgian fries, create your own game, prepare for a potential IT career or simply learn a different way of logical thinking ("algorithmic")? Then we are on the same page!

About Me

I enjoy teaching people and I take it as a personal challenge to find the most simple, visual and real-life analogies to explain abstract concepts. I approach classes as a training partner rather than an authoritarian all-knowing figure. :D

Intro to Artificial Intelligence with Hands-On Examples

46 € /h

Artificial Intelligence is the branch of computer science that studies the autonomy of software systems by enabling adaptive behavior without direct programming.

A.I. is popular nowadays due to the recent outstanding progress of Large Language Models (chatbots like ChatGPT), but that is only the tip of the field.

Let’s dive together and explore the base of the iceberg that is A.I.: machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, search and optimization.

Focus on hands-on and intuitive practical application guaranteed regardless of age or background!

Intro to Robotics (Control, Dynamics, Perception, Reasoning)

54 € /h

Want to learn about the world of robots? Humanoids, rovers, drones, you name it! How do they see, feel, act and think? We can dive into their world in an easy to understand, but hands-on way using simulators!

Do you also have a school/university subject related to this that you have difficulties grasping? You know nothing about robots or just watched a movie and you find them cool? Then let's talk!

We can have a lesson, Q&A, assessment where we decide together how we can feed your curiosity.

This class is designed for high-potential students, from Grade 3 to Grade 12, aiming for the world’s most competitive mathematics competitions — the same competitions that act as strong signals for admission to Ivy League, Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, Stanford, and other top global universities.

I provide elite-level training in mathematical problem-solving, logical depth, and creative reasoning, focusing on competitions that identify exceptional talent rather than routine academic performance.

Major competitions covered include:

- AMC 8 / AMC 10 / AMC 12
- AIME
- IMO pathway (advanced problem-solving foundations)
- European & Asian Olympiads
- National and international math competitions
- SASMO, AMO, Fermat, Kangaroo, Gauss, Euclid competitions and others

Invitation-based and high-prestige contests recognized by top universities

These competitions are not about speed or memorization. They require original thinking, multi-step reasoning, and mathematical maturity — skills that universities actively look for in exceptional applicants.

My approach

I train students to think like mathematicians.

Students learn how to:

deconstruct complex, unfamiliar problems

identify hidden structures and elegant solution paths

apply advanced techniques from algebra, number theory, combinatorics, and geometry

write clear, rigorous, competition-level solutions

remain calm and strategic under high intellectual pressure

This is not school math and not standard tutoring. Sessions are intellectually demanding, highly structured, and tailored to the student’s current level and long-term goals.

Who this class is for

students with strong mathematical ability who want to reach elite level

students targeting top universities (Ivy League, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge etc.)

students preparing for national or international math competitions

families looking for long-term talent development, not short-term fixes

Instructor background

With extensive international experience in advanced mathematics education, university-level teaching, and mentoring high-achieving students, I understand how competition mathematics connects directly to elite university admissions and academic success.

I do not train students to “collect medals.”
I train them to develop exceptional mathematical thinking — the kind that opens doors.

Format

Sessions are highly personalized, challenging, and progressive.
Online via webcam.
Languages of instruction: English, Russian, Turkish, and Azerbaijani

Automation hold great significance in today's world. We cannot perfoem every task manually. We need to generate the scripts which can do certain task automatically without human intervention. Thry can be run specific number of times, at specific time or at regular intervals as per requirement. Bash and python are mainly used for scripting. We will also cover topics like cronjobs, file manipulation, error and wxception handling and much more. The classes can be customised as per students level of understanding like beginner, intermediate or advanced.

The type of course I teach is intended to clarify the difficulties related to the understanding and production of philosophical texts. "How should I approach this philosophical problem or text?" In what philosophical and historical context does this issue/problem fit? "What texts should I read?" How should I read them?" "How should I organize the information?" to communicate philosophical ideas?" are some of the questions I can help you solve.
