We will go through the fundamentals of Python coding language, I will explain to you its grammar and usage, providing useful examples from the most popular packages.

Do you have any specific requirement (e.g. priority on data analysis, data visualization, data management or cleaning up,...)? Just notify me of that and I'll do my best to meet your requirements : )

Level: from starters to experienced. I've already had experience in teaching both experienced and novice coders.
Extra information
We could be working with online and shared resources so that no software installation would be needed from yours. However, it's best to start with application and software installed on your computer, but I will tell you more about this : )

I am currently a MSc student in Physics at Utrecht University and have a long term experience in tutoring students from all educational levels, guiding them in coping with their tasks and overcoming their difficulties.

I can offer a personalized path for guiding you through what seems to be a complicated topic so that, on top of learning, you could also interiorize the concepts we will be dealing with and not be afraid of Physics ever in your life!

I can both reach your location or we can have lectures on webcam, as you prefer.

You want to be exposed to Italian and learn how to understand and answer to an Italian native speaker? Give yourself the chance to learn Italian with a tailored schedule for fast learning and usage of it!

You will be guided in all the needed aspects of the language, from grammar to sounds, from typical sentence structure to useful tips in Italian culture which can come in handy during a typical conversation.

I've already given Italian lessons back in Italy for foreign people with amazing results and I'm ready to repeat this experience here in Utrecht too :D
Lessons can be provided both in English and/or French

I am Dr Iyer- a tutor with over 18 years of teaching experience as of 2023 and students from across the globe. I teach one-on-one online (over Skype/ Google Hangout and other media) using a pen tablet and the screen-share feature.

I have helped several students in courses like Python Programming, R Programming, Data Science,
Machine learning etc. I can customise the content to domains like business, economics finance and investments as per student requirements.

I have taught students of various age groups - high school (IB/Cambridge/IGCSE/ ICSE,) University (bachelors, masters, doctoral) and working industry professionals.

More than anything, I trust that if I can replace the fear of a subject with love for it, then I would have truly made a difference to the student.

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.

Learn to code with method and logic
Whether it's to succeed in the NSI (Digital Sciences and Technology) specialization in high school, design personal projects, or prepare for higher scientific studies, mastering code relies on solid algorithmic thinking. I help students understand the structure of programming languages and the logic of data.

Subject areas and languages taught:

Algorithms & Logic: Designing data structures and solving problems.

Programming Languages: Python, C/C++, C# and Java.

Data Management: Analysis and SQL queries / databases.

Basic Web Development: HTML & CSS for creating structured pages.

The goal is to take the student from simply writing code to true autonomy in development.

Python is the most in-demand programming language in the world right now — and one of the easiest to learn with the right guidance.
Whether you've never written a line of code or you're a student who needs to pass a programming course, this is a practical, no-fluff introduction that gets you writing real code from session one.
What we can cover depending on your goals:

Python fundamentals: variables, loops, functions, data structures
- Object-oriented programming (OOP)
- Data manipulation with pandas and NumPy
- Introduction to machine learning with scikit-learn
- Database management with SQL
- C and Java upon request
- MATLAB and R available for engineering/science students

Why learn with me?
I'm not a student teaching on the side — I'm a professional engineer who uses Python daily for data analysis, modeling, and automation. I know exactly which concepts matter in the real world and which ones you can skip for now.
Sessions are 100% personalized: I adapt the pace, the examples, and the exercises to your background and your goal — whether that's passing your university exam, building a project, or landing a job.

This course is for anyone who wants to learn to program in Python, whether you are a student, a professional, or simply curious.
Python is one of the most widely used languages today, thanks to its simplicity and power. You'll learn how to write your first programs, manipulate data, automate tasks, and understand the essential foundations of modern programming.
The objective is to make you independent in developing your own projects (scripts, small software, data analysis, etc.) and acquire a skill sought after in the academic and professional world.

I teach Python, C and C++ one to one, online or in person around Birmingham.

Most of my students fall into one of three groups. Some are at GCSE or A-Level and need to get comfortable with a language before an exam or a coursework deadline. Some are at university, usually on an engineering or computing degree, and have hit something specific that isn't clicking: pointers, memory, recursion, object orientation, or a project that won't compile. And some are adults starting from nothing, often because work has started asking them to automate things.

Lessons are built around code you can run. I'll ask what you're working on and where you got stuck, then we write something small together, break it on purpose, and work out what the error message is actually telling you. Reading error messages properly is half of programming and almost nobody teaches it.

Areas I cover regularly:

Python from the basics through functions, data structures, file handling, object orientation and libraries like NumPy and Pandas
C and C++, including the parts that cause most of the trouble: pointers, memory management, structs, classes and compilation
GCSE and A-Level Computer Science across all exam boards, including pseudocode, trace tables and written paper technique
A-Level NEA projects and university coursework, plus debugging sessions and code review
Embedded C for Arduino, ESP32 and microcontroller projects, which is the work I do professionally

After each lesson I send written notes covering what we did, worked through step by step, so you have something to revise from later rather than trying to remember what was on screen.

First session is free and lasts 30 minutes. We use it to work out what you need and whether I'm the right person for it. If I'm not, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.

Message me with what you're studying and what's giving you trouble, and I'll tell you honestly how I'd approach it.

Learn to code by creating your own games and interactive projects! These online lessons are designed for children and teenagers aged 7–17, from complete beginners to students with some coding experience.

We choose Scratch, Python, or Roblox Studio based on your child’s age, interests, and level. Students learn programming concepts, practise logical thinking, and discover how to find and fix errors independently.

I’ve been teaching since 2018 and have five years of software development experience. Each lesson combines clear explanations with practical activities in a friendly environment where questions are always welcome.

Students also get access to my learning platform to review materials and practise between lessons.

My method is based primarily on practice, because I believe that it is by writing code and trying to solve problems that one truly progresses in programming.
Each lesson begins with an explanation of the new concepts we will cover. I then provide exercises tailored to the student's level, which we work through together gradually. The goal is not simply to give the answer, but to understand the reasoning that leads to the solution.
I adapt to each student's pace and difficulties: if a concept isn't understood, we take the time to review it with simple examples before returning to practice. Conversely, if the basics are mastered, we can move on to more complex exercises.
A typical lesson therefore usually takes place in three stages: review or discovery of a concept, guided practical exercises, then correction and explanation of errors.
My courses are primarily aimed at beginners and students discovering Python, particularly in high school or the first years of higher education. I can help them understand the basics of the language: variables, conditions, loops, functions, lists, dictionaries, etc.
My goal is for the student to gradually become autonomous when faced with an exercise, rather than simply learning solutions by heart.
