An experienced tutor with 7+ years experience of tutoring in Amsterdam, Spain and India. I have experience teaching IB students, bachelor's and master's student.
- I adapt to the learning style of the student.
- Maths is fun if its taught with right examples.

I am a professor of computer engineering with a master's degree in applied statistics. I teach mathematics, statistics and computer engineering and telecommunications subjects such as programming, databases, etc.
I have more than 10 years of experience teaching these subjects, the pass rate is high. I help to understand concepts, to prepare exams and practices.
I have a lot of experience in UOC students.

I'm a Mathematics & Computer Science student wishing to share my passion for these topics with others! I find it essential to present the topic intuitively and pleasantly, with plenty of examples and visual aids.

I teach the following courses:
Mathematics: Calculus, Discrete Mathematics, Galois Theory, Group Theory, Linear Algebra, Real & Complex Analysis, and Topology.
Computer Science: Artificial Intelligence, C/C++, Data Structures, Data Science, HTML5, Java, and Python.

This course is suitable for all levels and will be adapted according to your projects, the principles are applicable to any type of programming whether for web development, application programming or video games.

The same principles therefore apply to the CMS Joomla, Drupal and the online commerce platforms WooCommerce, Magento, Prestashop and Shopify themes.

You will learn to model, texture, rig, animate and program for video games with Blender, Unity software and more!

UNITY: Application to develop 2D and 3D video games
BLENDER: Application to model, texturize, animate, riggear in 3D

Learn programming step by step, tailored to your needs. With more than 25 years of experience in teaching and eLearning content creation, I provide personalized lessons that adapt to your pace.

You will build strong foundations in programming (Python, Java, C, JavaScript), understand algorithms and data structures, and progress to advanced concepts like web development and databases.

The lessons include practical exercises, problem-solving strategies, and project-based learning so you can apply your knowledge immediately – whether you’re a beginner, a university student, or a professional who wants to upgrade skills.

Robotics classes focused on building and programming the official First Lego League robot.
Aimed at all levels: from those who want to learn to program and design from scratch, to those who want to strengthen and expand their knowledge.

I have several years of experience in this competition and in building and programming robots, as well as one year of experience teaching specialized robotics classes for children.
My goal is to pass on the passion that motivated me to inspire other students. I'm currently a computer engineering student.

This class should help students learn how to write programs and, more importantly, how to think while programming.

It covers core ideas such as variables, conditions, loops, functions, and debugging, with explanations adjusted to the student’s level and chosen language.

The class welcomes all levels, from first-time programmers to students who want help with assignments or a deeper understanding. Students can request specific languages or topics, and lessons can follow school or university curricula.

The teaching approach is student-centric. We start with a quick introductory meeting to set some learning goals. Usually during the lesson I deliver some theory and then get practical with exercises and real-world examples. Use of screen sharing, pair programming and collaborative tools come into great advantage. Looking forward to hear from you!
