Computer Science, Programming, Mathematics Tutoring

Van 88.37 € /h

I am offering private computer science and mathematics for interview preparation, SATs, GREs and AP tests, and for anybody who'd like to get a head start learning to program before college or as a career switch.

About Me:

I'm a PhD student at ETH Zürich, specializing in AI and Machine Learning. Here I've been a teaching assistant for discrete math for computer scientists, reliable artificial intelligence and software architecture and engineering.

I have a bachelors in mathematics and computer science and a masters in computer science from CMU, the top university in the world for computer science. There I was the sole teaching assistant for complexity theory taught by the Turing Award winner Manuel Blum, and for formal languages automata and computability, and for computational discrete math, and for algorithm design and complexity. Here, my research was on programming language design, and thus I am proficient at using and teaching any programming language.

I've also worked as a software engineer at Apple and Google in silicon valley, and built and sold a startup.

Extra informatie

1. I recommend bringing a laptop preinstalled with Unix (linux or osx).
2. One hour is the minimum time to get anything useful out of tutoring like this. I'm happy to schedule back-to-back hours as well.

It is with pleasure that I offer courses in all scientific fields until the last year of maturity (business school and general culture included). I move willingly in the inhabitant. We can also see each other in a cafe. I travel regularly between Geneva, Coppet and Zurich.

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects.

Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”
