Simon is one of our best Computer Science tutors. High-quality profile, qualifications verified, organised and responsive to lesson requests, and appreciated by their students.

About Simon

My motivation stems from a diverse interest in computer science and a penchant for creativity. I currently have a BSc and two MSc in computer science from both the United Kingdom and France. Now in my final year as a Ph.D. candidate, my diverse experience—ranging from agile startups to R&D departments in larger corporations—has honed my expertise, putting me at the forefront of machine learning innovations for tomorrow's landscape, as well as the software engineering open source software community, for the greatness of sharing with the world advancements!

I just returned from a fantastical research internship at New York University in one of the world's most prominent urban computing research labs. Previously, I worked as a software engineer for several European organisations throughout the last four years. Throughout my three years of machine learning experience, I have also developed my talents in both academic and industrial environments. --> See more!

I have been teaching computer science at all levels for the past five years, including bachelor's, master's, and even young professional students. In addition, for nearly three years, I have promoted Figma, assisted young entrepreneurs with proof-of-concept products, and redesigned people's resumes. If numbers are of interest, three of my BSc and MSc students have received first-class grades and one ''going beyond'' award for their masters' thesis in the last six months. I successfully transitioned one person from teacher to designer. Finally, I have successfully assisted a dozen software engineers in contributing to Open Source communities around the world. Reach out!

I guess there are no better ways to show who I am with real-world examples, as follows.

About the lesson

In academia and industry, I instruct computer science courses ranging from beginner to expert, both online and in-person, as well as at my alma mater. From C and C++ to JavaScript with Next.JS and React Native, and on to more analytical languages like Strongly Typed Python, to ML/DevOps for deployment or Git & GitHub to contribute to the Open Source Software community – I cover it all. The same goes for machine learning techniques. I go over paradigms, principles, how to design your own machine learning system, how to use Scikit-Learn like your pocket, introduction and design of Automated Machine Learning systems, how to apply machine learning to medical applications, etc. One more thing: being truly passionate about design, I am also offering Figma courses ranging from beginner to advanced levels. These courses can help you construct your next product, unique résumé (CV), and or university & industry-based pitch decks

Perfect! Simon combines a practical and intellectual grasp of Computer Science and AI with an engaging personality to tailor IT/AI lessons to a non-techie like me. He has a clear 'curriculum' and lesson plan in mind and yet reacts and shapes lessons both to my questions and to my interests. I have studied with him for a few weeks now and I can't recommend him highly enough. First class!

Simon's response
Nigel is possibly the most genuinely curious individual I’ve coached with over the past 5–6 years. He consistently asks thoughtful questions, is a pleasure to coach and work with, and it’s clear that our lessons are progressing in a very positive direction!

Perfect! Extremely concise plan and execution, helped answer all my questions, made the lesson very engaging.

Simon's response
Excellent student! Shy from time to time e.g Max does not want yet to say stop when things are already known, but it is certainly extremely polite and appreciated; yet, feel free to be pragmatic and suggest when things should not be covered because they are known. Nonetheless, Max is really optimistic and enthusiastic; Feels very logical mindset and I am looking forward to see him coding to help him with the hands-on aspect of ML and data mining in general!

Simon has been my master's degree workmate and has remained one of my inspirations since then. In addition to being at the leading edge of his field, Simon brings outstanding human competencies and excellent pedagogy to the table. Having worked in a diverse range of industries and positions, he possesses hands-on and professional experience that is truly valuable in the learning process. Beyond being a PhD student, Simon has a burning passion and has always been highly committed and successful in building a strong network and participating in impactful side projects. If I wanted to get into machine learning or software engineering today, Simon would be the person I would turn to.

He guided me through my whole master's degree; he can definitely provide you with insightful courses!

I met Simon during my Masters and he helped me in several courses, always explaining complex concepts.
As well as being good at the technical side of things, he also helped me with everything the courses didn't teach (networking, creating an interesting profile to find a job, etc.).

Simon is fond of assisting others. He has been assisting me since the beginning of my software engineering journey, teaching me best practices, tips, and tricks in Javascript and Git. Challenged me and showed me what and how things could go wrong. Today, I could easily take on any role in the field thanks of his dedication to his friends, family, and students he's helping! The money invested is completely worthwhile!
