Cambridge Graduate & Google Developer - Programming Tutoring 1 on 1
I am a Cambridge graduate in CS, with over 10 medals and national distinctions for competitive programming. For over 5 years, I have helped hundreds of students discover how easy and beautiful Computer Science is: - Assisted students in improving from a C to an A* grade. - Helped motivated students qualify for the National Informatics Olympiad. - Guided many achieve their target grades in A-Levels, even attaining the perfect score. - Prepared for IB/IA, A-Levels, GCSE, University Entry, or equivalent. - Assisted with specific projects at a professional level, including interview preparation. All my success in Computer Science is due to my teachers, who knew how to inspire my passion and turn any concept into an easy-to-understand story. That's why I decided to help others further to elucidate the secrets of Computer Science and to smile with relief in the exam hall when they notice that they know how to solve all the subjects perfectly. It's amazing how quickly a student can progress when the material is explained to them in their understanding. I have a highly flexible schedule and can adapt to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions about my teaching method, availability, or pricing, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am here to assist you and provide the support you need :).

Logic, formal languages, and automata theory for computer science
Experienced and patient teacher of logic for computer science. I have taught logic, formal languages and automata theory to undergraduates for six years. My tutoring is adapted to the student's level and goals. Whether you need to learn logic for your studies, or you would simply like to know more about the subject, I will be more than happy to help you improve your understanding and skills. Logic The sciences presuppose a certain standard of rationality. An ability to distinguish between correct reasoning and claims that do not follow from the assumptions. In this class we study the basic principles of logic and apply mathematical techniques to the study thereof. Topics include: Propositional and Predicate Logic Syntax and semantics Semantic Tableaux Natural deduction Correctness and soundness Completeness Formal languages and automata A formal language is an abstraction of general characteristics of programming languages. Such a languages consists of a set of symbols together with some rules to determine whether a string made up out of those symbols is a member of the language. Topics include: Regular languages, context-free languages Finite automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines Regular expressions Regular grammar, context-sensitive grammar Pumping lemmas for regular and context-free languages
