Software Engineering with the Java programming language - Amsterdam - Private lessons

Software Engineering with the Java programming language

From 287.22 CNY /h

The field of software engineering has been rising spectacularly in the last decade and it is full of opportunities for those willing to work hard to learn all its intricacies.

In this field one language has been ranked as number one in both number of users and jobs available, but also in the large ecosystem and comunity around it.

I have experience both as a professor and as a professional in the field and I am here to offer you the key to both subjects: Software Engineering key concepts presented with the Java language.

If you want to get into this fascinating domain then please do not wait anymore.

About Me

As most in the IT industry, I have always had a passion for learning new things, but what is not that common is that I also like sharing and teaching others. Even from my University days I started with my first professional activity as a programming lab teacher, the first student in my faculty to hold such a position.

I then moved on working at a Startup and the experiences I had during that time would be one of the more unique I had in my career.

I decided to continue my graduate studies at the University of Amsterdam and then took advantage of an opportunity ING offered for new graduates for transitioning into the coorporate job market. I spent two years there wearing a lot of different hats(Systems, Devops, Software Engineer) and working at a lot of interesting, diverse and challenging projects. I learned a lot on how companies and people work in large projects during this time and I felt it was time for something new where to apply what my new found experience.

I am currently working at Pegasystems as a software engineer part of the Decision Management teams. Here I have encountered the biggest technical challenges yet as a software engineer, getting a lot of practice of applying diverse algorithms and design patterns in real world scenarios.

During this time I decided to continue to feed my passion for sharing and teaching so I launched a website on which I write ocasionally and a course on udemy.

With all this experience gathered I am very happy on sharing as much as I can as a tutor.

This course will help you to get a good understanding of the concept of programming and algorithms through the programming language Java. It requires a very little knowledge of Mathematics and logic from you and promises to strengthen your base about the subject.

I have been coding in java for the past 7 years and know it from roots. The method of my teaching i very easy going, however, i aim to instill an interest upon the students towards the study. This is why I keep my content very puzzle like and interactive, where the student challenges himself to learn new things. This course is highly customizable, depending on the progress of the student, I choose the amount of hours I need to invest on classes.

I am a Professional Full Stack Developer with over 15 years of hands-on experience in software engineering, system design, and artificial intelligence.
I’ve worked across frontend, backend, DevOps, and AI, building enterprise-grade systems for real-world applications — from large-scale microservices to cognitive AI platforms.

I’m passionate about teaching the real, modern way of coding — combining deep technical foundations with today’s most advanced technologies: Generative AI, Agentic systems, RAG architectures, cloud automation, and intelligent DevOps.

Whether you are a beginner exploring your first “Hello World,” a professional improving your stack, or a researcher/developer exploring AI systems, I can guide you step-by-step — conceptually, practically, and strategically.

I specialize in tutoring Java/ REST/ Docker/ Architecture and Software Engineering principals in general. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. I assign homework after lessons and provide a periodic progress report. Important to mention is that my way of tutoring is not standard and I am trying not just to teach you some code but to open your mind to think like an engineer from Tech and also Soft skills perspective.

I am Vijay Pandey, basically from India and a working software professional. I am having 12+ years of Industry and Training experience.

Please feel free to get in touch with me if you need help to understand any Java-related technology.

I am software engineer with bachelors in Computer Science , I can help you learning basics as well as advance concept of programming and computers . I have 8 years of work experience , i can help you prepare for your job interviews and for your next role in software industry .

I started programming before high-school. When I entered the university I started to teach programming and I pursued it until now to both university students and high-school students. Meanwhile my colleagues and I started our startup and it’s one of the largest companies in Iran now.
I’m fully aware of how much the teachers can mislead the students by their wrong methods. Unfortunately sometimes they are not expert in their field too. I believe that it’s important to teach programming in a way that students enjoy it. Specifically when it comes to hard projects I can help student to implement the project themselves step by step.

I believe that anyone can learn to program. And with an average rating of 8.5 for my exam training at, among others, lyceo, I have experienced a lot of others doing the same.

Because of the programming minor that I did in addition to my Master's degree in Mathematics, I have seen where the friction is with many students and that often helped them on their way. I can do that because I taught myself to program next to my study Do you need help with a programming assignment, or are you not very good at the theory on your own? Then we start by looking at what you do know or understand, and where things are still unclear. Based on your understanding, we devise a plan of action for your assignment together.

We usually only have an hour together and that flies by. That is why I offer for the entire week (7 days) after our tutoring to help you online, via WhatsApp or Messages (iOS)

See you soon!
