About Shiven
I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo, and I learn best by building things. Programming and ML aren't just subjects I study, they're what I spend my free time on.
Some of what I've built:
• Real-time Indian Sign Language detection: a system using YOLO and LangChain that recognizes signs live.
• Peer Project: I'm the main backend developer for a volunteer mentor-mentee platform that runs on Discord and Reddit, so I know what it takes to ship code real people use.
• MedMesh: an offline emergency network over a LoRa radio mesh, built with a team at a hackathon.
Along the way I've learned that the people who get good at ML are the ones with strong fundamentals. That's why my lessons start with programming and algorithm basics and build up from there. I teach the way I wish someone had taught me: explain the "why" first, then build something real with it.
If you want to learn to code, or understand ML instead of just using it, send me a message and tell me where you're starting from.

Machine learning isn't magic. It's programming, math, and good habits stacked on a solid base. My lessons build that base first, so ML algorithms make sense when you reach them instead of feeling like a black box.
We start with the foundation.
You learn to program properly: how to break a problem down, write clean code, and debug without panicking. Then we cover the basics of algorithms, such as how data is stored, how to search and sort it, and why some solutions are fast and others fall apart at scale. Everything we build on later rests on this.
Then we build toward ML.
Once the base is solid, we move into the core ideas behind machine learning: how a model learns from data, what "training" really means, and what's happening inside algorithms like linear regression, decision trees, and neural networks. We focus on understanding why they work, not just calling a library and hoping for the best.
Everything is project-based.
Learning is the top priority, and the best way to learn is by building. We take a real project forward together, step by step, so each new concept shows up in something you're making. You finish with working code you understand, not just notes you've copied.
What you can expect:
• Programming taught from the ground up, at your pace
• Clear explanations of algorithm basics, with intuition before formulas
• A hands-on project that grows as your skills do
• ML concepts that connect back to the fundamentals you've learned
• A patient, no-judgment space to ask "why?" as often as you need
Who it's for:
Beginners who want a strong start in programming, and students who want to understand ML rather than just use it. No prior experience is needed, only curiosity.
As a University of Waterloo student, I'll teach this the way I wish I'd learned it: understand the base, build something real, and the advanced topics follow naturally.

Five stars for his knowledge, dedication, and commitment to helping students succeed!shiven is a patient tutor and takes his time explaining through the process, he is extremely hardworking and talented. he is also incredibly encouraging and motivates others to work just as hard. i would recommend him to anyone trying to grow in computer programming.
shiven is my cousin, i would recommended shiven as a computer programming tutor because he is a hard working, intelligent, dedicated teacher. he gets the ideas through thoroughly and takes his time explaining, he also helps improve skills and knowledge. i would recommend him to anyone just beginning to understand computer programming.
Shiven is really kind and patient , and he explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. He makes learning a lot more comfortable , and I would happily recommend him to others.
I highly recommend Shiven as he is an excellent, dedicated, and knowledgeable individual. He explains concepts clearly, is patient and supportive, and always strives to give his best. His commitment to helping others learn and his positive approach make him a great choice on Superprof.
Learning to code always felt overwhelming until I started lessons with Mr. Shiven Sharma on Superprof. He breaks down abstract, intimidating programming concepts into simple, real-world analogies that actually click. Rather than just handing me the syntax, Mr. Shiven taught me how to think like a developer and debug methodically when errors pop up. Extremely patient, punctual, and encouraging. If you are starting from scratch or looking to make a switch into tech, I couldn't recommend a better tutor
Shiven is an excellent teacher who explains concepts clearly and makes even complex topic look easy to understand. He is patient, supportive, and ensures that you truly understand the subject rather than just memorising things. His teaching style makes learning enjoyable, and his ability to simplify concepts is truly commendable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, approachable, and effective teacher.
Shiven is a very talented grown-up student. He has a good ability to learn by himself and teach. His self-determination, ability to grasp new things, and passion to achieve his dreams make him an incredible student. He is diligent, hardworking, and has the ability to impart his knowledge to his friends.
Highly recommended! An excellent Computer Science tutor with strong subject knowledge, clear explanations, and a student-friendly approach. Great at making complex concepts easy to understand.
Shiven has in-depth knowledge about the topics. I really liked his teaching style. He finds innovative ways to teach physics concepts so that they become easier to understand. Thanks, Shiven.
