I have a first-class MEng degree from UCL in Mathematics and Computer Science. I am working full-time as a Machine Learning Engineer at a tech startup in London. I have 9 years of tutoring experience and enjoy tutoring as an extra-curricular activity. In late 2010, I came to the UK where I joined the school halfway through Year Eleven. Although the GCSEs were taught in English, I was able to overcome the language barrier to achieve an A in GCSE Mathematics and an A in GCSE Additional Science within half a year. During the next two years, I did my A-Levels and I achieved A*AAAA. I was the first person in my school`s history to do all 18 A-Level Maths modules. I was awarded a level 3 Key Skills award in Improving Own Learning and Performance since I improved my English language skills. I started tutoring in Jan 2014, shortly after starting university, and started working with startups after my first year. I applied to an app developer position at a tech start-up. When I went to the interview, I did not know anything about backend development and databases apart from the a small Android app that I developed at university, but they have given me a learning task to do in a short deadline (one week), and I have done it. then they have asked me to learn about django and iOS development and I have quickly done that, therefore they have hired me. I worked with backend development with Django and front end development with iOS, alongside with tutoring and attending university during my second year. After that, I worked with some C code that will be deployed to the sun in the next few years, before joining my second startup in my third year at university. In this startup, I was appointed as a CTO and was developing the backend with Ruby and the front end iOS app with Swift. As the startup didn`t succeed, the source code is available on my Github repository. This was also alongside tutoring and university work. Then to the third startup with I joined after my third year at university, and discovered that machine learning is awesome. I did my masters project using Python and tensorflow, and got a first on the project. I look forward to share my experience with other people, and help them achieve the same achievements that I did.

Highly recommend ALIIIIAli helped me with numerous coursework. He is always attentive, flexible and helps provide insightful and concise comments/approaches to help me tackle the problems I had. Even when coming across some unfamiliar problems, Ali went an extra mile to understand the problem and able to guide me to formulate a solution. Highly recommend Ali if you needed help with programming questions .
I’ve been taking sessions with Ali for 1 year now. Firstly, Ali is a very skilled programmer in many languages which makes him brilliant in solving many problems and he’s very good at breaking the problem down and explaining why things should be the way they are, and when having sessions you can tell that he’s an experienced tutor. That’s why I recommend sessions with Ali !
Ali has helped me an incredible amount with many different computing topics. He is extremely proficient and knowledgable in a wide variety of fields; this comes through in his teaching. He can hone in on any problems you have and thoroughly enlighten you on the point. He is willing to take time with his students regardless of how long you take or how much you repeat a mistake. This patience makes you feel comfortable in learning new things. Overall, I would undoubtably recommend Ali to anyone who needs assistance learning - his expertise in his field is clear and will be able to help you whether you are a novice or an expert.
I was very impressed with Ali`s knowledge. He is a high ability tutor and his explanations are excellent. Good tutors can be hard to find and I am grateful for his support. Highly recommended!

Details
Most of my tutoring is online. For in person lessons, I cannot have lessons at home but I can have lessons in a public place nearby. Private rooms are available but have to be booked in advance at an extra cost of £6 - £8 per hour. I don't travel for lessons unless the student is willing to pay my rate for travel time.
