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.

► 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

I teach machine learning, AI and Python online to university students, postgraduates, career changers and serious beginners across the UK and Europe. Lessons are in English.

I hold an MSc in Electronics and Electrical Engineering with Distinction and I teach as a Visiting Lecturer on a Master's level module covering data analytics, machine learning and generative AI at a UK university. I also have two accepted international conference papers on deep learning for image classification. I set and mark postgraduate assignments myself, so I know where marks are won and lost on this kind of work.

Who this is for

Undergraduates and postgraduates on AI, ML, data science or computer science modules at any European university. Final year, Master's and thesis students working on a machine learning project. IB and A Level students moving into computing or engineering. Professionals retraining for data roles. Complete beginners who want to learn Python properly rather than copying it from videos.

I work with students on UK, IB and continental European programmes. I have tutored engineering students in Germany and international school students across several countries, so an unfamiliar syllabus or a module taught in a different structure is not a problem. Send me the material and I will work from it.

What we cover

Python for data science with NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib and scikit-learn. Deep learning using TensorFlow and Keras. Core theory including regression, classification, clustering, decision trees, random forests, neural networks and CNNs, together with the linear algebra, calculus and statistics underneath them. Computer vision and image classification, which is my published research area. Model evaluation, overfitting and hyperparameter tuning. Writing machine learning work up to academic standard, covering methodology, results and critical evaluation.

How lessons work

Send me your module handbook, assignment brief, thesis spec or the code that will not run, and I plan the session around it before we meet. Nothing generic.

In the lesson I explain the concept with a worked example, then you take the keyboard while I watch and correct, because you learn far more doing it than watching me do it. You finish with annotated notes and a clear next step, and you can message me between sessions with questions.

Practical details

Online over Google Meet or Zoom with screen sharing and a shared whiteboard. Sessions run 60 or 90 minutes. I am based in the UK and teach across GMT and Central European time, with evening and weekend slots that suit students anywhere in Europe.

Tell me your course, your deadline and exactly where you are stuck, and I will come back with a plan for the first session.

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.
