Machine Learning and Generative AI in practice: from first model to RAG systems

From 36 £ /h

This class is for people who already write some Python and now want to build machine learning and generative AI systems that work outside a notebook. I am a Lead Data and Machine Learning Engineer in Berlin with 9 years at Amazon, Delivery Hero, Goldman Sachs and Orion S.A., and I teach the same methods I use at work.

WHO IT IS FOR

Developers and analysts moving into machine learning or AI roles.
Students who understand the theory but have never shipped a model.
Founders and product people who want to build a real AI feature rather than a demo.
Anyone preparing for machine learning or AI engineering interviews.

WHAT WE COVER

Framing a problem: what is predictable, what is not, and how to tell before you waste a month.
Core machine learning: regression, classification, tree based models, feature engineering.
Model evaluation done properly: leakage, class imbalance, baselines, and why your accuracy score is lying to you.
Deep learning and natural language processing foundations.
Large language models in practice: prompting, structured output, evaluation and cost control.
Retrieval augmented generation end to end: chunking, embeddings, vector databases, reranking, and measuring whether the answers are actually correct.
Agents and tool use with LangChain and LangGraph.
Deployment: turning a model or an AI feature into a service, plus monitoring and drift.

HOW IT WORKS

We agree on a target project in the first lesson and build towards it. You write the code, I review it live and explain the reasoning. You leave with a working system in your own repository rather than a folder of tutorials.

I will tell you honestly when an approach will not survive real traffic or real data. That is the main reason to learn this from someone who runs it in production.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Lessons are in English, online via webcam, and I work comfortably across time zones. You need working Python basics for this class. If you are starting from zero, book my Python, SQL and Machine Learning class instead and we build up to this one.

Extra information

Message me first with your current level, the kind of project you want to build and any deadline you are working towards. I will send back a short plan for the first few lessons.

What you need: a laptop, a stable connection, Zoom or Google Meet, and Python already installed. Some familiarity with Python is expected for this class. Free accounts on OpenAI or AWS are useful later but not required for the first lessons.

I am based in Berlin (CET) and regularly teach students in other time zones, so ask if you need an early or late slot.

Location

Online from Germany

About Me

I am a Lead Data and Machine Learning Engineer based in Berlin, with over 9 years of building production data and AI systems at Amazon, Delivery Hero, Goldman Sachs and, currently, Orion S.A. I have been teaching on Apprentus since 2021 alongside that work, and I teach exactly what I do every day rather than theory I read about once.

My students are usually one of four people: a complete beginner who wants to learn programming properly from zero, a university or bootcamp student whose Python, SQL or machine learning assignment has stopped making sense, a working professional moving into data engineering, data science or AI, or a candidate preparing for technical interviews. I enjoy all four, and I adapt completely to which one you are.

How I teach: we start with a short conversation about where you are now and what you actually want to reach. I do not hand out a fixed syllabus before I know that. Every lesson is hands on. You write code while I watch, I review it live, and I explain the reasoning behind the fix instead of just giving you the fix. That is the part that makes it stick.

You finish each session with something concrete: a working script, a clean notebook, a pipeline that runs, or an answer you could confidently give in an interview. Between lessons you get exercises and a project that grows week by week, so after a few months you have something real to show an employer.

I am patient with beginners who are starting from nothing, and direct with people who want to be pushed hard. If something you are doing would not survive in a real production system, I will say so, because that honesty is the reason to learn from a practitioner instead of a video course.

Lessons are in English, online via webcam, and I am used to working across time zones. My open source guide for machine learning interviews has more than 700 stars on GitHub, and I use the same material with students preparing for interviews.

Python, SQL and Machine Learning with a Lead Data & AI Engineer (ex Amazon)

35 £ /h

Learn Python, SQL, machine learning and AI from someone who builds these systems in production every day. I am a Lead Data and Machine Learning Engineer based in Berlin, with 9 years at Amazon, Delivery Hero, Goldman Sachs and now Orion S.A., and I have been teaching here since 2021.

WHO THIS CLASS IS FOR

Complete beginners who want to learn programming properly, from zero, with no assumptions.
University and bootcamp students stuck on Python, SQL, algorithms or a machine learning assignment.
Working professionals moving into data engineering, data science or AI roles.
Candidates preparing for technical interviews at product and tech companies.

WHAT WE CAN COVER

We pick the path together based on your goal. Options include:

Python fundamentals, clean code and object oriented programming
Data structures and algorithms, with the reasoning behind each choice
SQL and databases, from joins and window functions to designing a warehouse
Pandas, NumPy, data cleaning and exploratory analysis
Machine learning: regression, classification, trees, model evaluation, and the quiet mistakes that ruin a model
Deep learning and natural language processing foundations
Generative AI in practice: RAG, embeddings, vector databases, LangChain, OpenAI and AWS Bedrock
Data engineering on AWS: S3, Glue, Redshift, SageMaker, Airflow, Spark and dbt
Interview preparation, including mock interviews and system design for data roles

HOW LESSONS WORK

In the first lesson we work out where you are and what you actually want to reach, and I map a path to it. After that every session is hands on. You write code, I review it live, and I explain the reasoning rather than just handing you the answer.

You finish each lesson with something that works: a script, a notebook, a query, a pipeline, or an answer you could confidently give in an interview. Between lessons you get exercises and a project that grows week by week, so you end up with something real to show an employer.

WHY LEARN WITH ME

I teach what I do. The examples come from real systems that serve real users, not from textbook datasets. I will also tell you honestly when an approach will not hold up in production, which is the main reason to learn from a practitioner rather than a video course.

My open source guide for machine learning interviews has more than 700 stars on GitHub and is used by candidates preparing for data and ML roles.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Lessons are in English, online via webcam, and I am comfortable working across time zones. Suitable for teenagers from 14 and for adults. No prior experience is needed for the beginner track.

Data Engineering on AWS: build pipelines, lakehouses and streaming systems

36 £ /h

Learn how data actually moves through a modern company: ingestion, storage, transformation, orchestration and serving. I am a Lead Data and Machine Learning Engineer in Berlin with 9 years of building these systems at Amazon, Delivery Hero, Goldman Sachs and Orion S.A. This class teaches the same architecture and tooling I use at work.

WHO IT IS FOR

Analysts and backend developers moving into data engineering.
Data scientists who keep getting blocked by broken or missing pipelines.
Students and career switchers who want a portfolio project that looks like real production work.
Engineers preparing for data engineering interviews or AWS certifications.

WHAT WE COVER

SQL that holds up under pressure: joins, window functions, query plans and performance.
Data modelling: star schemas, slowly changing dimensions, and how to design tables people can actually query.
Python for data engineering: clean, testable transformation code.
Batch pipelines with Airflow and dbt, including testing and data quality checks.
Spark for large datasets, and when you genuinely do not need it.
Streaming with Kafka and Kinesis: events, ordering, exactly once, and the traps.
AWS in depth: S3, Glue, Redshift, Athena, Lambda and IAM, plus cost control.
Lakehouse patterns with Databricks and Delta or Iceberg.
Infrastructure as code with Terraform, and CI CD for data.
Monitoring, alerting and what to do at 3am when a pipeline fails.

HOW IT WORKS

We pick a realistic project in the first lesson, for example a pipeline that ingests raw events and serves a clean analytics table, and we build it over the following sessions. You write the code, I review it live and explain the trade offs. You finish with a repository you can show in an interview.

We can also work on your own company's problems if you bring them, as long as you can share enough of the shape of the data.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Lessons are in English, online via webcam, and I work comfortably across time zones. You should already be able to write basic Python and SQL. If you are not there yet, start with my Python, SQL and Machine Learning class and we build up to this one.

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.

If you’ve ever felt that science and math are difficult, it’s probably because no one showed you how to think like a problem solver.
In my classes, you’ll learn not just formulas or code but how to truly understand concepts, apply them, and build strong logical intuition.

I teach:
• 🔢 Mathematics: From algebra and calculus to applied problem-solving for real-world use.
• 💻 Computer Science: Coding fundamentals (Python, C++), algorithms, and logical thinking for beginners and intermediate learners.
• ⚛️ Physics: Mechanics, thermodynamics, and practical examples that make abstract ideas simple and visual.

As a Software Engineer and Master’s student in Engineering at Nagoya University, I bring both academic knowledge and hands-on experience from real projects. My teaching approach is interactive, visual, and deeply focused on understanding over memorization.

Let’s turn complex problems into clear, step-by-step insights — and make learning something you genuinely enjoy.

Need help with math and science (physics, chemistry, etc.)? As a 33-year-old civil engineer, I'm happy to help! I'll learn at your own pace, using plenty of examples to illustrate the material. I have years of experience teaching both simple and complex subjects.

The lessons run as follows. First of all, together we look for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I continue to work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give them tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once the student has mastered the exercises from the lesson, I give some more challenging exercises to also test on the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his / her test or exam.

However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a good relationship with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this lowers the barrier to ask questions and improves the student's learning process.

Are you interested? Do not hesitate to contact me!
See you soon!

As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material!

We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition.

The sessions generally take place according to the following stages:

1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps.

2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises.

3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach.

4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course.

I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach.

In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.

► EXPERT STATISTICS, DATA ANALYTICS, MACHINE LEARNING & AI TUTOR FROM SWITZERLAND
► UNIVERSITY, FOUNDATION, IB, A-LEVEL & INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL SUPPORT

I completed my Master’s degree in Business Information Systems at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences, where my academic background strongly combined mathematics, statistics, data analysis, analytical thinking and problem-solving. This technical and data-oriented foundation shaped the way I teach today: clearly, logically and with a strong focus on real understanding.

For many years, I have successfully supported students in Statistics, Data Analytics, Machine Learning and AI. My main focus is especially on Statistics — from basic descriptive statistics to advanced statistical methods, hypothesis testing, regression, probability distributions and interpretation of results.

I mainly use R for statistical analysis, data handling, visualisation and practical exercises. My goal is not only to help students calculate results, but to make sure they understand what the results mean and how to explain them correctly.

► STATISTICS, DATA ANALYTICS & AI SUPPORT

► STATISTICS & PROBABILITY
I help students understand descriptive statistics, probability, random variables, distributions, sampling, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, p-values, correlation, regression and statistical interpretation. My lessons focus on explaining the logic behind each method, not just applying formulas.

► APPLIED STATISTICS WITH R
I support students in using R for statistical analysis, data cleaning, visualisation, hypothesis testing, regression models and interpretation of outputs. Students learn how to connect theory, calculation, code and real meaning step by step.

► QUANTITATIVE METHODS & RESEARCH STATISTICS
I help students with statistical methods used in business, economics, psychology, social sciences, science and university research. This includes choosing the correct test, understanding assumptions, interpreting results and presenting findings clearly.

► DATA ANALYTICS & DATA SCIENCE
I support students with data preparation, exploratory data analysis, visualisation, dashboards, summary statistics and practical interpretation. The focus is always on understanding the data and drawing meaningful conclusions.

► MACHINE LEARNING & AI FOUNDATIONS
For students working with modern data topics, I also provide support in the foundations of Machine Learning and AI, including regression, classification, clustering, model evaluation and practical applications. These topics are explained from a statistical point of view, so students understand the logic behind the models.

► UNIVERSITY, FOUNDATION & INTERNATIONAL COURSES
I support students in Statistics, Data Analytics, Business Analytics, Quantitative Methods, Econometrics, Research Methods and technical modules. I help with exam preparation, assignments, projects and practical data analysis tasks.

► HOW I TEACH

► I FOCUS ON REAL STATISTICAL UNDERSTANDING.
Statistics becomes much easier when students understand why a method is used, what the result means and how to interpret it correctly.

► I EXPLAIN FORMULAS STEP BY STEP.
Difficult formulas, tests and models are broken down into simple, logical parts so students can follow the reasoning clearly.

► I CONNECT THEORY WITH R PRACTICE.
Students learn not only the statistical theory, but also how to apply it in R, read the output and explain the result in proper academic language.

► I HELP STUDENTS CHOOSE THE RIGHT METHOD.
Many students struggle with deciding whether to use a t-test, chi-square test, ANOVA, regression or another method. I teach students how to recognise the correct approach from the question or dataset.

► I TRAIN INTERPRETATION AND EXAM TECHNIQUE.
Students learn how to structure statistical answers, write clear conclusions, explain p-values, interpret confidence intervals and present results professionally.

► I ADAPT EVERY LESSON TO THE STUDENT.
Some students need help with theory, others with R coding, assignments, research projects or exam preparation. I adjust every lesson to the student’s exact course, level and goals.

► YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH STATISTICS, DATA & UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Over the years, I have successfully supported students from demanding academic programmes, helping them strengthen their statistical understanding, improve their analytical thinking and achieve excellent progress in Statistics, Data Analytics, Machine Learning and AI.

► ONLINE LESSONS

► Interactive whiteboard
► Clear digital notes
► Step-by-step statistical explanations
► R support for data analysis
► Exam preparation
► Assignment and project guidance
► Practical examples with real datasets
► Focused one-to-one support from Switzerland

► MY GOAL

My goal is not only to help students pass exams or complete assignments, but to help them truly understand Statistics. With the right guidance, statistical methods become logical, practical and much easier to apply.

► SUBJECTS: Statistics, Probability, Data Analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning, AI, Quantitative Methods, Research Methods, Econometrics
► MAIN TOOL: R
► LEVELS: International School, IB, A-Level, Foundation Courses, University Modules, Professional Training
► FORMAT: Online tutoring from Switzerland
► FOCUS: Statistical understanding, R practice, interpretation, exam preparation, assignments, projects and long-term analytical confidence.

Python is today one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, both in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Web Development and for task automation.
In this course, I will guide you step by step according to your level:

Beginner: basics of the language (variables, loops, conditions, functions).

Intermediate: data manipulation (Pandas, NumPy), file management, object-oriented programming.

Advanced: practical projects (data analysis, machine learning, automation, API, web scraping).

My goal is to make learning clear, practical, and motivating. You'll not only learn how to code in Python, but also how to structure your projects and apply your knowledge to real-life scenarios.

Many students lose confidence in math over the school year - not from lack of ability, but from pace, gaps, or one bad unit that never got resolved. This summer program (through mid-September) is built to fix that before the new year starts, not just review generally.
I work with middle and high school students, including IB, to close specific gaps not a broad refresher, but targeted work on exactly what's holding a student back. I bring the same structured, evidence-based approach I use with my university-admission students: identify precisely what's missing, build a plan around it, and track real progress, not just hours logged.
Best for students who want a calm, focused reset before the new academic year begins not for open-ended tutoring with no target

Do you have a statistics or probability exam in BA1/BA2? I can help you review the material in a clear, structured and exam-oriented way.

I support higher education students (university and college), particularly in their first and second years of undergraduate studies, to understand important concepts, redo practical exercises, and practice with exam-style questions.

My goal is simple: to help you understand the logic behind formulas, know when to use them, recognize correct reasoning in a statement, and gain autonomy when facing exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Descriptive statistics:
mean, median, variance, standard deviation, quartiles, quantiles, coefficient of variation, box plots, histograms, graphs, interpretation of tables and data.

• Univariate and bivariate statistics:
analysis of one variable, analysis of two variables, scatter plots, covariance, correlation, regression line, coefficient of determination, interpretation of relationships between variables.

• Probabilities:
events, union, intersection, complement, conditional probabilities, independence, Bayes' theorem, probability trees, contingency tables.

• Combinatorial probabilities:
permutations, arrangements, combinations, draws with or without replacement, counting, classic exam situations.

• Random variables:
discrete and continuous variables, probability function, density function, distribution function, expectation, variance, standard deviation, variable transformation.

• Probability laws:
Bernoulli distribution, binomial distribution, normal distribution, standard normal distribution, Student's t-distribution, chi-square distribution, use of statistical tables according to your course.

• Statistical inference:
sampling, estimators, point estimation, confidence intervals, margin of error, degrees of freedom, confidence level.

• Hypothesis testing:
null hypothesis H0, alternative hypothesis H1, significance threshold, p-value, one-tailed or two-tailed test, test on a mean, test on a proportion, chi-square test, interpretation of results.

• Exam preparation:
reading statements, choosing the right method, identifying the formulas to use, typical exercises, past exams, guided corrections and problem-solving methods.

Method of working :

1. We quickly identify the chapters that are causing problems;
2. I re-explain the theory with simple examples;
3. We redo the important exercises together;
4. I will show you how to recognize good reasoning in the exam;
5. We construct a clear method that can be reused independently.

I don't just provide a correction: I explain the reasoning step by step so that you are able to redo the exercises without help.

For students retaking the exam, I also offer more intensive support: level assessment, priority identification, review of fundamentals, and practice with typical exercises and past exams. The goal is to get straight to the point and work efficiently within the time available before the exam.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I have also tutored first and second-year Bachelor's students at Solvay/ULB in mathematics, statistics, and microeconomics as part of a university tutoring program.

My professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte has also allowed me to develop a very structured approach to numbers, analysis and problem-solving.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.

B- PERSONALIZED TUTORING: LEARNING HOW TO REASON
Machine learning and artificial intelligence become much more accessible when mathematics, algorithms, Python code, data, and real-world applications are clearly connected.

My lessons help you move beyond simply copying code or using models as “black boxes.” You will learn how to define the problem correctly, prepare the data, select an appropriate algorithm, understand how it works, train and evaluate the model, diagnose errors, improve performance, and interpret results rigorously and responsibly.

Each lesson is personalized according to your current level, mathematical background, programming experience, dataset, university work, research project, interview preparation, or professional objective. We begin by identifying your existing knowledge, software environment, expected outcomes, and main conceptual or technical difficulties. We then establish a structured learning plan.

The first lesson combines a discussion of your background, objectives, and tutoring needs; an initial assessment of your current knowledge; personalized planning and organization of future sessions; and a short trial lesson to determine the most effective learning approach.

A typical session may include conceptual explanation, development of mathematical intuition, live coding, guided implementation, model evaluation, technical problem solving, and a concise summary of the next steps.

You may work with your own dataset, university assignment, research project, or professional problem, provided that confidential information is handled appropriately. I can also provide structured examples and datasets suited to your level.

My goal is not simply to help you run an algorithm. It is to help you understand why it is appropriate, how it learns from data, how to evaluate it correctly, why it may fail, and how to build a reliable, interpretable, and scientifically rigorous solution.
