About Me

I am a mathematician based in the Netherlands (Amsterdam area), holding a PhD at Vrije Universiteit, with a significant academic experience (both research and teaching).

I also have experience with private tutoring. I can cover a wide range of high level math (related) topics (at BSc and MSc level), as well as assisting Master students in applying mathematical / statistical research methods and tools in their master projects in full compliance with the academic standards.

My primary focus is to help students overcome their math anxiety - which is one of the main reasons for students' lack of self confidence/initiative - and put them "on track" for individual study. For the more advanced students, I am looking to stimulate investigation skills required for a thorough understanding of the study subject.

Computer programming is the future of the world. I specialized in tutoring computer programming in any language you want to learn. My goal is to improve and enhance computer skills for the intermediate programmer or teach computer programming for a pure starter. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports.

After 20 class, as an entry-level starter, you are able to implement a web app and solve all intermediate questions in a hard coding interview.

After 20 class as an intermediate level programmer, you are able to write complex code and solve every coding interview questions for Google, Facebook, Uber, and Booking.com
This class requires a certain amount of work and dedication, be prepared for a lot of fun and work.

Hi,

My name is Michal. I am 27 lat and I studied computer sciences in Poland.

I have a lot of experience with teaching which gives me the ability to explain everything in a very precise and clear way. I have been teaching for over 1 year now.

I give effective programming lessons in Java, C#, Python, and Android.

I can help you with a one-time problem you might be facing or I'm happy to meet regularly if you need to.

Before we begin its always important to specify exactly what we are going to be working on which lets me prepare for the lesson. I always ask for details to be sent to my email in advance.

Location: Usually we meet at some cafe library or shopping center. I can also go to the students' houses.

If you would be interested please contact me via phone or using the form on this website.

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.

Java programming language is the best option to start learning programming. In this course, we will follow a book to learn basics of the programming and computer science. You will learn, object-oriented programming, data structure and algortihm.

End of the course (around 30 hours) you will be able to program almost everything! Time to change your career path and follow the white rabbit!

Important Note: This course is only available students who speak Turkish.
Önemli not: Bu kurs sadece Türkçe konuşan öğrenciler içindir.

What is this AI thing everybody is talking about these days? Do you want to understand technology at a deeper level? Are you interested in how common applications fundamentally operate? Would you like to improve your logical and analytical skills (not to mention endurance and patience)?
Learning to code - a phrase that is all too popular nowadays. Still, dealing with programming languages is kind of inevitable in every sector. And by becoming fluent in Python or AI techniques you broaden the spectrum of your possibilities, in academia, in the job market and in your personal life too!
There is simply no better language than Python to begin with on your exciting coding journey. And there is also no better way of doing that than by having someone personal to ask questions to. This way you not only don't have to waste time and effort on a stupid typo, but you're also less likely to give up. Effort * Encouragement = Success!

Throughout years of experience teaching a variety of subjects to students ranging from grade school to Bachelor's, I've learned that everyone has their own learning process. I aim to discover what methods work best for you and adapt my lessons to your learning style. Whether you're a child or an adult, whether you're lookin

My expertise is broad: I've taught courses in grade-school math (algebra, geometry, trigonometry), university-level math (calculus, linear algebra, discrete math), programming (Python, C#, Unity3D), theoretical computer science (algorithms, cryptography, quantum computer science), and much more! If you're interested in learning anything within the realm of math or computer science, I can craft specialized tutoring sessions just for you.
