Feeling secure online is becoming harder every day. Most people have no idea how vulnerable they are to cyber-attacks that could cost them dearly. There is a mountain of advice on the internet and YouTube, and it's hard to know who to believe when it comes to securing your private information and assets. I can guide you through the weeds so you can feel confident when doing everything from online banking and investing to social media. You will learn how to assign risk levels to everything you do online so you can avoid doing things that will increase your risk level. We are all at risk to some level, and each person has to decide how far they are willing to reasonably go to get the security they require.

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

Graduate teacher gives courses in Physics & Chemistry, Mathematics, many years of experience.
I am a dynamic and demanding teacher who gives private lessons in Physics-Chemistry as well as Mathematics. I graduated from teaching seven years ago, after a masters in physical sciences with honors, and I teach in college and high school since. I have also been preparing students for the Baccalaureate Science for many years, all of whom have been awarded very good honors. I also prepare my students for different exams (Matu, Bac, preparation for EPFL, etc...) I make sure to rework the basics so that the student can progress quickly. It is important to me that my students acquire a solid foundation of knowledge. I also give effective work methods that will allow him to progress much more quickly and so he can regain self-confidence. I can go to the student's home or also take the course via Skype.
