About Me

Hello there,

My name is Balint, I am a Hungarian Software Engineer, currently living and working in Dundee, Scotland. I am happy to help you get better in coding / software and/or related fields (maths, AI).

In terms of teaching / tutoring experience, there are 2 things to note:

1) As I have quite a bit of experience in industrial software engineering, I helped many of my (younger) peers at the University of St Andrews during our MSc course (2019-2020).

2) I currently have 4 tutees that I work with 1-2 times per week with each (3 of them in an online environment, with 1 face-to-face).

The best way to teach programming / computer science is through examples. Many, many examples. Theory (for the purpose of teaching Computer Science here) is important as long as it supports the practical applications / practical aspect of writing software.

I now have a sound understanding of what the curriculum is in the UK (for various levels) and am fully prepared and capable to deliver the knowledge required for these levels, regardless of the programming language in question (whether it is Python, Java, Javascript, C/C++, etc.).

Education

MSc in Artificial Intelligence, University of St Andrews, 2020 - Distinction (17.8 out of 20.0 GPA)
Bachelor's degree in Automation and Control Engineering, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 2014

Experience / Qualifications

I've been a professional software engineer, working in various fields since 2014. In terms of tutoring, I've tutored several (10+) students in Mathematics during my undergraduate course and more recently I've started taking on students who wish to get better at programming/coding.

Advanced mathematics and statistics often present one of the main challenges encountered at university. Many students understand the lectures but find themselves stuck as soon as they have to solve exercises or prepare for exams on their own.

For over 35 years, I have been supporting undergraduate students, BUT, PASS, business school students, as well as adults undergoing professional retraining, to help them acquire an effective work method and succeed in their exams.

Subjects taught
Analysis
Linear algebra
Matrices and linear systems
Functions and optimization
Descriptive statistics
Probabilities
Hypothesis testing
Estimate
Introduction to Python or SQL when the program requires it
A clear and progressive method

Each session is tailored to your course of study and your objectives.

We work from your lectures, tutorials, exercises or past papers to precisely target the concepts that are causing problems.

The goal is not just to succeed at one exercise, but to understand the method that will allow you to solve others independently.

Session Procedure

The courses take place entirely online with screen sharing and an interactive digital whiteboard.

We alternate explanations, demonstrations and exercises with live corrections in order to immediately check understanding and progress effectively.

Available formats

60-minute session

Ideal for preparing for a tutorial, understanding a difficult concept or getting stuck on an exercise.

90-minute session

Recommended for refresher courses, exam preparation, or in-depth study of a chapter.

My commitment

My goal is to help you understand mathematics in a lasting way rather than simply memorizing calculation methods.

You will progress not only in your current exam, but also in the courses that will follow in your curriculum.

Whether you are preparing for a midterm, a competitive exam, a semester validation or a return to studies, I will be happy to support you in your success.

Neural Network is a powerful machine learning tool used for classification & prediction. It works as function approximation from experienced data of inputs and outputs entered to the training process to create the model. The concept of neural network can be thought theoretically by mathematics, but the course will include also a practical coding using Matlab Software.

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
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

Is AI just for adults? Absolutely not!

This is the perfect course for children (and their parents) to truly understand what Artificial Intelligence is, how it works in our daily lives (from Netflix to video games), and, most importantly, how to use it safely and creatively.

Led by a teacher with over 10 years of experience in technology and coaching, your child will learn to:

Identify what is and what is not AI (the myth vs. the reality).

Play the game of 'training' an AI with simple and fun examples (basic Machine Learning).

Ask their first intelligent questions to generative AI tools to create digital stories or art (introduction to Prompt Engineering).

Understand the importance of ethics and safety when using these new technologies.

This course will transform your child's curiosity into a fundamental skill for the future. We use a personalized coaching approach to ensure complex concepts are accessible and exciting, especially for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN)!

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life, to know how to identify digital traps, and to use Word, Excel, etc. without difficulty.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

Technology is everywhere, and understanding how it works and how to protect it can open doors to exciting opportunities. I’ve designed this course as a hands-on journey into networking, programming, and cybersecurity, where you don’t just learn theory, you practice real skills that matter in the digital world.

In this course, I’ll guide you through building and analyzing networks, writing programs with Python and other languages, and exploring how systems communicate and interact. You’ll dive into cybersecurity fundamentals, learn to identify vulnerabilities, understand how attacks happen, and practice defending systems like a pro.

Through interactive exercises, practical examples, and real-world scenarios, I’ll show you how hackers think, how organizations respond to threats, and how to secure systems effectively.

By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence, knowledge, and hands-on experience to tackle networking, programming, and security challenges and apply these skills in your studies, career, or personal projects.

I am a dynamic and demanding teacher who gives private lessons in Physics-Chemistry as well as Mathematics.

I graduated from teaching seven years ago, after a masters in physical sciences with honors, and I teach in college and high school since.
I have also been preparing students for the Baccalaureate Science for many years, all of whom have been awarded very good honors.
I also prepare my students for different exams (Matu, Bac, preparation for EPFL, etc...)

I make sure to rework the basics so that the student can progress quickly. It is important to me that my students acquire a solid foundation of knowledge.
I also give effective work methods that will allow him to progress much more quickly and so he can regain self-confidence.

I can travel to the student's home or also conduct the lesson via Zoom/Google Meet.

My goal is to help you excel in IB Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics, both at SL and HL!

As an IB teacher in training, I understand first-hand the subjects' curricula and requirements. But as an IB graduate myself, I understand the daily experience of being a student of the most challenging high school program out there: sweeping through pages of literature, missing out weekends with friends, and integrating functions in my sleep.

But I also remember all the dreams I had as a teenager, and how I pushed myself day by day to get a score that would make those dreams come true.

A few years later, here I am. After graduating in Computer Science from the University of Luxembourg, and I am finally ready and happy to support your own learning and dreams!

For over two years, I've been tutoring students at international schools in Luxembourg. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of the IB but also introduced me to other curricula like the European Baccalaureate and the GCSE.

The IB approach is known for being extremely challenging on more than the academic level, so sometimes we might need to try a few creative strategies and tricks that I used — like memorising trigonometric values by drawing funny images on your hands, reciting verses about sad turtles, or using colourful pens to sketch images that help you remember ideas. These might seem a bit unusual, but they've proven to work wonders!

I’m available for tutoring both online with flexible scheduling options to accommodate your studies without adding stress. I use HD videocamera, interactive writing tools, AI diagnosis, and the latest materials to tailor this class exactly for you.

Moreover, I have also helped my students deliver IA projects that got them A and B grades.
