Excellent tutor - I highly recommend Dr Iyer. He has a lot of material to teach each of his subjects. His approach where you steer the wheel through doing homework etc while he directs you in the lessons is fantastic.
It was an excellent lesson. The method in which Dr. Iyer explains is very easy and understandable. Highly recommended!
Dr S Iyer is a wonderful teacher for my teenage son (pre-IB student). He puts a real effort into the lessons. He is always prepared, explains well and suggests adequate exercises to practice and deepen the discussed material.
Dr S was a pleasure to work with.
He was patient, flexible with time (he gave me 10 mintues extra) therefore that makes him very understanding and kind.
His work was fast delivered and well done.
I will be definitely purchasing his services in the future.
A great teacher! Explains very well

Private coding / programming lessons with pythonPython is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.
This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.
As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.
I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.
Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.
