About Gokhan
I'm Dr Gokhan Guler, a Principal Data & AI Architect. Databases are my day job: I design the data platforms that large organisations run their reporting and AI on — ingestion pipelines from ERP and CRM systems, cloud warehouses and lakehouses on Google Cloud, Azure and AWS, master data management, and the vector stores behind AI assistants — and I govern the data-architecture decisions that go with them. I hold a PhD in engineering and computer science and am certified across AWS, GCP and Azure.
I've taught for more than twenty years at undergraduate and postgraduate level and delivered over 2,000 hours of one-to-one tutoring since 2017. My students have come from Oxford, Imperial College London, UCL, Manchester, Bristol, Queen Mary, Westminster and Maastricht, among others.
I teach databases the way I design them: start from the question the data has to answer, design the model, then write the SQL — because most database problems are design problems wearing a query's clothes. Plain language, live SQL on screen, and real examples from production systems.
Away from work you'll find me with my family, who are my biggest supporters in all of this.

I teach Databases and SQL to students on database, information-systems and data modules (BTEC to MSc), and to professionals moving into data roles — from your first SELECT to designing the warehouse an organisation reports from.
WHAT WE WORK ON
- Relational fundamentals — entities and relationships, ER diagrams, keys, normalisation to 3NF and BCNF (and when to denormalise), integrity constraints, transactions and ACID, and why the design matters more than the code.
- SQL properly — SELECT through joins, subqueries, grouping and window functions, DDL and DML, views, stored procedures and triggers, indexing and query plans — on MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and Oracle, with SQLite for quick practice.
- Coursework tools — Microsoft Access (tables, relationships, queries, forms and reports for assignments), MySQL Workbench, phpMyAdmin, DBeaver, and connecting a database to Python or a web front end.
- Beyond relational — NoSQL (MongoDB, key-value and column stores), graph databases, and vector databases for AI applications, the retrieval layer behind RAG: what each is for and when not to use it.
- Data warehousing and analytics — star and snowflake schemas, dimensional modelling, ETL and ELT pipelines, BigQuery, Snowflake, Azure Synapse and Redshift, lakehouses, and connecting it all to Power BI.
- Administration and security — backups and recovery, users and permissions, performance tuning, GDPR and data classification, master data management.
- Certification syllabi — Microsoft DP-900 and DP-300, Oracle Database SQL Certified Associate, Google Professional Data Engineer and AWS Data Engineer Associate, with practice questions.
- Coursework, dissertations and projects — from a normalised ERD and a working schema to a data-warehouse design report. You build it; I supervise and challenge it.
RECENT WORK
Database and analytics modules on undergraduate and postgraduate computing and business programmes · SQL and Access coursework from ERD to working queries · enterprise data platforms in my architecture work: ingestion pipelines from ERP systems into cloud warehouses, master data management, and the databases behind AI applications.
HOW SESSIONS RUN
Online, with screen-sharing and live SQL on your own setup or a shared sandbox. You keep the scripts, diagrams and notes after every session. The first (free) session is a diagnostic: we map your module, assignment or target role against your deadlines and agree a plan. I reply within a few hours.
I help you understand and build your own work — the schema, the queries and the write-up are yours; I supervise, explain and challenge.

Gokhan is a very knowledgeable tutor who in just one session has helped me better understand how to use AI as a learning aid. It was also great to talk through some ideas for my thesis with him. I look forward to our next session!
Gokhan has his own idea of teaching to write a personal statement, he provides me some new ideas of doing that. However, sometimes it is quite hard to understand the point, he will still explain it to me.
I have had many lessons with Gokhan he is a great tutor. Very knowledgable, helpful and informative. Helping me through AI and Machine learning.
He is really a good tutor, he always explain everything really good and patiently.
Very accomodative & helpful . i recommend him for crypto tuition. Thanks
Gokhan takes his time to explain concepts in great detail, and makes sure that you have a good understanding of the work by the end of the session.
Gokhan is a good tutor who is very knowledgeable about his field of study and is adaptable to the student's needs and able to structure his tutoring to best help his students
Mr Gokhan is very well experienced in the field and very helpful, he is also very honest in his recommendations and consistent! I reccomend him to anyone that needs help in the filed.
I had just been assigned to a new engineering project when I reached out to Gokhan. He was very patient and kind. He went to great lengths in explaining the key processes. I would recommend him.
I had the privilege of being tutored by Gokhan as I prepared for my internship, and his expertise in computer science and machine learning truly shone through. Gokhan's deep understanding allowed for lessons that flowed seamlessly. I particularly appreciated how he took charge of the lesson planning, allowing me to simply sit back and soak in the knowledge. His passion often led to in-depth explanations, which, while extensive, clarified many complex concepts for me. Thanks to Gokhan, I approach my internship with greater confidence and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking to deepen their grasp on the subject.
Gokhan is highly knowledgable and experienced with computer aided research (CAD). I have highly valued our meetings as he has provided valuable software engineering insights and feedback as a practitioner in the field. It is so rare to find someone with such specialities, who is so readily willing to help me with the questions that I have. Gokhan also possess a keen critical and constructive perspective that really allows my understanding to blossom. For that, I am more than willing to give Gokhan a solid 5/5 and recommend to others to him, who would be on the similar boat as I am! Thank you Gokhan, always a pleasure!!!
I would recommend Gokhan because he explains the topics well.
I found Gokhan here on Superprof platform because of Autodesk Revit + Dynamo + BIM lessons and he was really helpful. It is easy to agree with him for the things you need. He is very friendly, patient, enthusiastic and encouraging and most definitely I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a tutor!
Gokhan is a tutor with excellent knowledge of the modern-day construction industry and it's developments. I admire his knowledge with different disciplines, and also his excellent organisation and timing skills, and is always willing to help! Highly recommended for those interested in the engineering related to construction, and other matters of mechanical or civil, building services engineering etc and modelling software associated!
To all considering Gokhan as a Revit tutor:
I have now had a number of lessons with Gokhan, and based on the experience so far I have committed to a full year's worth of tuition - simply because this man has seriously formidable knowledge of ALL aspects of this software and far beyond, yet he will share his deep insights in a patient manner and with interpersonal approach specifically tailored to your learning style.
My only regret is that I have not found him three years ago, because if I did then, I'm virtually certain that by now I would have been a highly demanded specialist in the MEP field.
So, if you are serious about changing your career and your future to BIM discipline, you will not find a better mentor, tutor and guide.
Very Highly recommendedGokhan is a reliable and mature tutor who communicates well. He helped ut student with Mechanical Engineering and was able to quickly diagnose the academic level of the student
I can not emphasize how important Gokhan's contribution to my Autodesk Certified user exam pass results, my first job replacement in the construction industry. Gokhan developed a strong reputation among BIM & 3D Modeling for being able to tutor students of all ages and levels. Another element of Gokhan's professionalism that always suprises me is how versatile he is in 3D modeling. He was tutoring me in Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360, Solibri, and Revizto in the same time.
Gokhan has provided me essential 3D Modeling in Autodesk software, including; Revit, Navisworks, Dynamo, BIM 360 as well as Revizto, Solibri and Synchro. The most impressive aspect of Gokhan's teaching is his conduct with students. Gokhan was able to present information on a wide variety of topics in Building Information Modeling while projecting a composed presence, a great sense of humour, maintaining a positive learning environment.
