My lessons are practical, structured and fully adapted to each learner. In the first session, I take time to understand your current level, your goals and what you want to achieve, whether that’s learning Python from scratch, preparing for a job in data, or finishing a university project. Based on that, we build a clear learning plan together. My language of teaching and communication is in English.

I teach Python programming from the basics, such as variables, loops, functions and data structures, up to advanced topics like object-oriented programming, working with libraries and writing clean, efficient code. I also teach data visualisation with Python, Exploratory Data Analysis and Machine Learning, including regression, classification, clustering and model evaluation. With 8 years of experience in Python and 5 years in ML, I can explain not only how things work, but also why and when to use them in real situations.

My teaching method is learning by doing. Each lesson starts with a short explanation of the concept, followed by hands-on exercises using real-world datasets. I encourage questions, and I guide you with hints rather than giving answers straight away, so you build independent problem-solving skills. If you like, we can also work on your own ML project together, from defining the problem and preparing the data to training the model and presenting the results.

Lessons are patient, friendly and relaxed, and I adjust the pace to what works best for you. After each session, I can share code, notes and practice tasks so you can keep improving between lessons. My goal is that you leave every lesson more confident and able to apply what you’ve learned on your own.
