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 information
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.

Learn mathematics is not as complicated as expected !
Combining mathematics with computer programming skills can bring really interesting career perspectives and funny projects. I would love to share with you this enthusiasm for those two fields !

I am a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree holder. Currently I am working as Software Lead Test Engineer at vSens Gmbh. Although I work in the field of information technology I am very interested in imparting the IT knowledge I have learned to others. Information technology has become an essential part of our lives in the present era. So it is very important to learn and keep it from the youngest to the oldest. Information Technology is an Ocean It is not enough for us to simply learn it, I will teach others from my experience how to put it into practice and learn it easily and understandably.

I will teach you about the computer basics (for ex. What is the computer, About the computer components etc...), about computer softwares and how to use it (for ex. Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Access etc...) and computer programming languages(C++, Java, C#, Python etc..).

You can use the programming I teach to create the software you need yourself. I will definitely help those who have the desire to create software like that. I am ready to clarify your doubts regarding information technology as well.

Understanding Mathematics and Computer Science is essential for almost any successful career path nowadays. As a masters student in Computer Science and Mathematics at ETH Zurich, I have the perfect expertise to explain those concepts, from any level. I am a French native, C2 in English and C1 in German. I'm definitely a great match if you (or your childrens) have difficulty in those fields and need high quality advice and help.

I am a first-year Master's student of Informatics (Data Science) at UZH, with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. If you are facing any sort of difficulty in Maths or Computer Science, or if you want to improve your grades and have a better understanding, I am available for help. I had taught pre-calculus, algebra, and calculus to high school students and always tried to ensure that they improve their grades and I am glad to tell you that I am succeeded in that. My way of teaching is that to come to the lowest level I can while explaining a topic, For example explaining a topic like I am lower to the level of the student. I learned this technique due to all the experience of teaching and I found it quite amazing and working when it comes to conveying the knowledge.
I am fluent in English.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

👨‍🎓 With 4 years of experience in distance learning, I am a mathematics teacher, specialist in support courses and private lessons.
I also teach physics and chemistry as well as science subjects in general.

I hold a Master's degree in Operational Research (Applied Mathematics) and I have been teaching private lessons for more than 3 years, mainly mathematics for College and High School levels.

✏ I have taught students from public, private, French Program (Mission), Belgian, Swiss, Spanish Program (students from the Spanish school who are French or English speaking), American Program...
In short, all French or English programs.

✏ I accompany students from A to Z, in all stages of their learning with a simple, new generation and effective methodology: Course explanation, course summary, deepening application exercises etc...

✏ I prepare for exams and competitions

✏ I help with homework.

✏ My students have all evolved in an extraordinary way and have all achieved their goals. 16, 17, 18, 19 out of 20.

Sessions usually take place as follows:

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly intended to gauge the level of the student in order to highlight the shortcomings observed.

2️⃣ Then comes the establishment of a plan to fill the gaps: Number of hours of work required, The parts of the lessons to focus on, Several training and development exercises...

3️⃣ We make sure to do all of this while staying up to date with the student's class teacher.

4️⃣ I then provide exams similar to what is likely to be asked in class.

5️⃣ I draw up a report on demand, usually monthly, in order to keep parents informed about their child's level throughout the course.

I also adapt my methodology according to the needs of each student, so everyone has a personalized working method adapted to their needs!

I also do crash courses for those who are preparing for the start of the school year so that they start the year strong 💪 and know the program in advance. 🧠

💭 If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me ;)

Hey! Are you looking for a young, approachable yet meticulous tutor in Computer Science or Mathematics? Then I believe I might be the tutor for you! I offer lessons in the aforementioned subjects (English only) for high-school and bachelor students at the start of their studies.

A little bit about me:
My name is Bozhidar and I am a MSc Data Science student at ETH Zuerich. Last year, I completed my bachelor's in Computer Science at TU Delft (the #1 technical university in the Netherlands) with distinction. I was a teaching assistant for 10 courses during my stay at the university. Additionally, I have given private lessons to a few high school and bachelor's students, so I believe I have accumulated enough experience with guiding and tutoring students across different disciplines. I have found out that I enjoy teaching a lot, so that is why I am here - to help you and myself!

My expertise:
During my high school years, I won tens of awards and scholarships for achievements in Mathematics and Computer Science. I also won my high school's recognition award which is given to one student every year for distinctive results. I've helped high-school and university peers with exam preparation, taught whole courses privately, prepared sample exams, and reviewed and graded real ones. Regarding the university courses I have experience in, I have taught:
- Object-Oriented Programming
- Reasoning & Logic
- Computer Organisation
- Algorithms and Data Structures
- Web and Database Technologies
- Calculus
- Information & Data Management
- Automata, Computability and Complexity
- Concepts of Programming Languages
- Computational Intelligence

Here are some of the reviews I have received as a teaching assistant:
Overall: 4.97/5 (70 reviews)
5/5 - "Great job! Did far more than just explaining this example and went far deeper into the material, helping me to understand it."
5/5 - "Favourite TA. Always there for the difficult questions. Never leaves anything unanswered no matter how long it takes."
5/5 - "Delightful person with an insightful way of thought! Brilliant TA!"
5/5 - "Clear explanations and expert in the material"

So, what are you waiting for? Write me a message and let's get the knowledge train running.

Hi!

Welcome to my class on Matlab programming! As a PhD student in Geophysics my main tool is my computer. In order to do science one needs to know how to program. I often use Matlab in order to analyze data, run numerical models, plot results and much more. So, let's embark on the journey of learning Matlab and explore its diverse capabilities together!

For beginners:
I have designed it for absolute beginners to become at ease with the language within 5 sessions of 1h. Message me to know the 5 classes curriculum and I will be more than happy to share it with you!

For intermediate users:
If you already know the basics of Matlab but want to go more in-depth on certain packages this is the right place! Message me and we can discuss what your needs are!
