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

Florian was well prepared and engaging in conversation. He helped me to understand the content and usage with context.
Hello! I am a teacher in Tokyo. My lessons are particularly suited for those who need to practice their pronunciation and/or their vocabulary. My classes can also include cultural aspects of the language and Dutch society. They would be ideal to help with orientation before travelling or moving to The Netherlands. If you are interested in the country and its customs, please do not hesitate to contact me. 日本語少し出来ます。宜しくお願いいたします。
初めまして。 フロリャンと申します。初心者からビジネスマンまで皆様に優しく英語とオランダ語を教えます。 日本語大丈夫です、でもゆっくりはなしてください。 Hello. Let us learn English. I am a patient teacher with experience teaching Japanese students. We can practice conversation, phonetics, and/or writing. As someone who has recently started learning Japanese I can pay particular attention to differences between Japanese and English pronunciations and potential cultural pitfalls in daily conversations. Both beginners and advanced students are welcome. Cafe lessons are possible.

Hey! Are you looking for a young, approachable yet meticulous tutor in Computer Science or Mathematics? Then I believe I might be the tutor for you! I offer lessons in the aforementioned subjects (English only) for high-school and bachelor students at the start of their studies. A little bit about me: My name is Bozhidar and I am a MSc Data Science student at ETH Zuerich. Last year, I completed my bachelor's in Computer Science at TU Delft (the #1 technical university in the Netherlands) with distinction. I was a teaching assistant for 10 courses during my stay at the university. Additionally, I have given private lessons to a few high school and bachelor's students, so I believe I have accumulated enough experience with guiding and tutoring students across different disciplines. I have found out that I enjoy teaching a lot, so that is why I am here - to help you and myself! My expertise: During my high school years, I won tens of awards and scholarships for achievements in Mathematics and Computer Science. I also won my high school's recognition award which is given to one student every year for distinctive results. I've helped high-school and university peers with exam preparation, taught whole courses privately, prepared sample exams, and reviewed and graded real ones. Regarding the university courses I have experience in, I have taught: - Object-Oriented Programming - Reasoning & Logic - Computer Organisation - Algorithms and Data Structures - Web and Database Technologies - Calculus - Information & Data Management - Automata, Computability and Complexity - Concepts of Programming Languages - Computational Intelligence Here are some of the reviews I have received as a teaching assistant: Overall: 4.97/5 (70 reviews) 5/5 - "Great job! Did far more than just explaining this example and went far deeper into the material, helping me to understand it." 5/5 - "Favourite TA. Always there for the difficult questions. Never leaves anything unanswered no matter how long it takes." 5/5 - "Delightful person with an insightful way of thought! Brilliant TA!" 5/5 - "Clear explanations and expert in the material" So, what are you waiting for? Write me a message and let's get the knowledge train running.

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.

Uni Mathe, A-Levels, Matura etc., by a Cambridge Grad
A Cambridge and UniVie Grad and a soon-to-start PhD student in Computer Science and Mathematics at ISTA to teach Maths, Stats, CS and/or Computational Biology/Programming modules. Ich spreche auch Deutsch und kenne mich mit dem Schulmaterial (z.B. Matura) und Modulen aus Uniprogramm (BSc Mathe auf Uniwien) aus. If your goal is not just to learn some formulas by heart, but to gain a deep insight into how mathematical topics are interconnected, or to get a hand at coding and how to think algorithmically to solve complex tasks – I am just the right fit for you or your child. Additionally, I am personally familiar with the British educational system – from A-Levels (3 x A*) to University (MSc/MPhil from Cambridge with distinctions).
