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

54.48 $ /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)

63.95 $ /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.

Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

Are you a university student, engineer, or professional who needs to actually use data — not just learn theory about it?
This course is built around real problems and real code. We skip the textbook formulas and go straight to applying statistics and data science the way professionals do: with Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib) and R (RStudio).
What we cover, adapted to your level and goals:
- Descriptive and inferential statistics (the ones that actually matter)
- Data cleaning, exploration, and visualization
- Regression, classification, and intro to machine learning
- Time series and forecasting basics
- R for statistical analysis and academic research

Who this is for:
- University students in statistics, economics, engineering, or biology
- Professionals wanting to move into data analysis or data science
- Researchers who need to process and present data properly

I use Python and R professionally as a working engineer — everything I teach comes from real application, not just academic exercises.

Experienced and patient teacher of logic for computer science.

I have taught logic, formal languages and automata theory to undergraduates for six years. My tutoring is adapted to the student's level and goals. Whether you need to learn logic for your studies, or you would simply like to know more about the subject, I will be more than happy to help you improve your understanding and skills.

Logic
The sciences presuppose a certain standard of rationality. An ability to distinguish between correct reasoning and claims that do not follow from the assumptions. In this class we study the basic principles of logic and apply mathematical techniques to the study thereof.
Topics include:
Propositional and Predicate Logic
Syntax and semantics
Semantic Tableaux
Natural deduction
Correctness and soundness
Completeness

Formal languages and automata
A formal language is an abstraction of general characteristics of programming languages. Such a languages consists of a set of symbols together with some rules to determine whether a string made up out of those symbols is a member of the language.

Topics include:
Regular languages, context-free languages
Finite automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines
Regular expressions
Regular grammar, context-sensitive grammar
Pumping lemmas for regular and context-free languages

Data science, statistics & mathematics – clearly explained, personally supported.
My name is Kian, an experienced tutor from Bern. I support students, career starters, and professionals on their journey into the data-driven world—whether in their studies, projects, or everyday work.

With my structured, understandable, and motivating approach, I'll help you not only solve problems but also understand data, recognize connections, and make informed decisions. My lessons are personalized, efficient, and at eye level.

Who I am – and why I teach:
I teach in Bern and successfully completed the MAS program in Statistical Data Science at the University of Bern, focusing on statistics, mathematics, and data science. For several years, I have been passionately teaching, both in academic contexts and for professionals who want to think and work more data-driven.

In parallel to my teaching, I have implemented numerous data science projects – from exploratory analysis and data modeling to decision support in a business context. This combination of theory and practice makes my teaching particularly close to reality while remaining accessible.

I love making complex topics tangible, creating aha moments, and empowering people to handle data confidently. For me, tutoring isn't just about imparting knowledge—it's about developing their minds on equal terms.

-What you can expect from me:
One-to-one lessons with a focus on data comprehension, statistics & analytical thinking
Support with projects, assignments, exams or getting started in the data world
Practical explanations – step by step and adapted to your everyday life
Teaching modern methods for data analysis, modeling & interpretation
Long-term strategies for problem-solving & structured thinking
Flexible lessons in Bern or online – personal, competent & reliable

Why I can help you understand data science:
Because I work at the interface between science and practice. I know how quickly you can get lost in formulas and tools—and I'll help you see the common thread:
How data tells stories, how you analyze it, and how you make smart decisions.

With me, you won't just learn methods—you'll learn how to think with data. Whether in your studies or in your career, I'll guide you in truly understanding data and applying it confidently.
Learn data analysis.
Analyze and model complex data sets – understandable, practical and with structure.
If you're ready to get to grips with data, I'm ready to guide you.
