About Me

My name is Lamberto and I am a 22-year-old Italian Computer Science graduate. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI), and I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Computer Science at ETH Zurich, majoring in Machine Intelligence.
My academic journey began in 2022 when I enrolled in the Computer Science Bachelor program at USI. Prior to that, I attended the International School of Verona “Aleardo Aleardi,” where I completed both my international middle school program and a four-year Liceo delle Scienze Applicate pioneering program. This innovative program allowed students to achieve the Italian high school diploma in four years instead of five, while maintaining the same academic standards and outcomes. I graduated with a final grade of 100/100. During those years, I also completed a Dual Diploma Program in collaboration with a school in Miami, Florida, graduating with honors.
Throughout my university studies, I had the opportunity to broaden both my academic and personal horizons. I spent time living in different cities and countries, including Berlin, where I lived with a host family and attended a German school, strengthening my language skills and cultural adaptability. I also had the chance to exchange in Copenhagen, a true rewarding experience. These experiences taught me responsibility, open-mindedness, and the value of multicultural environments.
Over the years, my academic interests have evolved into a strong and focused passion for Machine Learning, algorithms, and problem-solving. What initially started as curiosity has grown into a genuine drive. I enjoy tackling complex challenges, transforming ideas into code, and deepening my understanding of intelligent systems. Innovation excites me, the rapid evolution of technology motivates me to learn continuously, refine my skills, and explore new concepts. For me, Computer Science is not just a field of study; it is a mindset that pushes me to think critically and creatively every day.
Alongside my academic path, sports have played a fundamental role in shaping who I am. I was a competitive football player for ten years before dedicating myself to sailing, where I competed professionally for over eight years. During this period, I achieved significant results, including ranking first nationally in my boat category and becoming Italian champion. More recently, I have developed a passion for long-distance running. On November 17th, 2024, after just over three months of preparation, I completed my first marathon in 3:39:36.
These experiences reflect my determination, discipline, and ability to commit fully to my goals, qualities that I bring into both my academic and personal life

You will know:

1- Why does it exist?
2- When to use it
3- and when not to use it

You will leave with:
a solid understanding of OOP
a cleaner and more professional code
an ideal foundation for learning React, Node.js or any other modern framework

The path and the method are in there; take a little bit of each.

Holding a degree in mathematics from EPFL, I offer private lessons in Geneva or online.

I graduated from EPFL with a degree in mathematics, having completed all the Bachelor's level courses in this discipline. I have gained significant experience tutoring students from middle school to university level (mathematics and physics). I have also assisted with teaching at EPFL, particularly in specialized courses such as analytic geometry (advanced mathematics course), analysis (first and second year Bachelor's level), and linear algebra (first year Bachelor's level). My in-depth mastery of the theory in these disciplines provides me with the skills and teaching abilities necessary to effectively support high school and university students, helping them understand the theoretical concepts in their courses and apply them practically in their exercises.

Typical course: a quick review (adapted to needs) of the essential concepts of the course, followed by practical exercises and oral role-playing (going to the board, discussion on the physical meaning, etc.), as in a competitive oral exam.

All my lessons are prepared in advance based on the topics covered in class (the student specifies their needs from one session to the next). I also create a handout containing sample exercises illustrating different methods, fully corrected and explained by me.

My commitment to my students' success is absolute. I only prioritize motivated students who are ready to put in the necessary effort to progress.

My main focus is on in-depth understanding and the quality of work. Depending on the student's request, I can also suggest exercises to do between sessions (not mandatory, depending on available time and homework already assigned by their school).
