Information about Ali

Machine Learning Engineer graduated from UCL. I tutor Python, Java, Ruby, C++, Andriod, iOS, Tensorflow, logic and computational complexity.

I have a first-class MEng degree from UCL in Mathematics and Computer Science. I am working full-time as a Machine Learning Engineer at a tech startup in London. I have 9 years of tutoring experience and enjoy tutoring as an extra-curricular activity.

In late 2010, I came to the UK where I joined the school halfway through Year Eleven. Although the GCSEs were taught in English, I was able to overcome the language barrier to achieve an A in GCSE Mathematics and an A in GCSE Additional Science within half a year. During the next two years, I did my A-Levels and I achieved A*AAAA. I was the first person in my school`s history to do all 18 A-Level Maths modules. I was awarded a level 3 Key Skills award in Improving Own Learning and Performance since I improved my English language skills.

I started tutoring in Jan 2014, shortly after starting university, and started working with startups after my first year. I applied to an app developer position at a tech start-up. When I went to the interview, I did not know anything about backend development and databases apart from the a small Andriod app that I developed at university, but they have given me a learning task to do in a short deadline (one week), and I have done it. then they have asked me to learn about django and iOS development and I have quickly done that, therefore they have hired me. I worked with backend development with Django and front end development with iOS, alongside with tutoring and attending university during my second year.

After that, I worked with some C code that will be deployed to the sun in the next few years, before joining my second startup in my third year at university. In this startup, I was appointed as a CTO and was developing the backend with Ruby and the front end iOS app with Swift. As the startup didn`t succeed, the source code is available on my Github repository. This was also alongside tutoring and university work.

Then to the third startup with I joined after my third year at university, and discovered that machine learning is awesome. I did my masters project using Python and tensorflow, and got a first on the project.

I look forward to share my experience with other people, and help them achieve the same achievements that I did.

Availability: Check the calendar below.

Most of my tutoring is online. For in person lessons, I cannot have lessons at home but I can have lessons in a public place nearby. Private rooms are available but have to be booked in advance at an extra cost of £6 - £8 per hour. I don`t travel for lessons unless the student is willing to pay my rate for travel time.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have 9 years of tutoring experience, including 5 years of private undergraduate computer science tutoring.

I tutored for about 1000 hours per year online since 2020 which is double what I used to do before 2020. Some of my students in the last 5 years were:

7 Birkbeck MSc Information technology students, I helped them learning Python.

6 UCL students, I helped one of them in Logic and Computational Complexity.

5 Kings MSc Data Science students, I helped them with Python, AI and Machine Learning

5 Westminster students, I helped them in learning Java.

3 Queen Mary students, I helped them with machine learning

3 Imperial Students, I helped them with Algorithm and Data structures.

1 Sussex student, I helped him with Natural Language Processing in Python

5 Makers student, I helped them with learning Ruby

I helped 2 students with Android development

I helped 2 young kids learning to code with Swift, and one with iOS development

I helped 2 students with creating websites with Python and Django

I helped many students with basic machine learning with Python and Scikit learn, including 3 PhD students and 10 working professionals

I helped 8 students with advanced machine learning with Python and Tensorflow

I helped many other students learning Python, Java, Ruby, and C++

I helped 3 students with Concurrency in Java, and 6 students with functional programming in Haskell, and logic programming in Prolong

I helped a Cambridge IGSCE Computer science student getting an A, and an A Level Computer Science student getting a B

Some of my students in previous years:

I also helped a student achieving a B in her GSCE Maths in year 5, and helped her to achieve excellent results in her 11+ exams and get full scholarship offers from 3 prestigious London schools.

I also tutored 3 brothers for 3.5 years, and helped them with GSCE and A-Level Maths and Further Maths. They all achieved A in A-Level maths.

Limited interpersonal skills, very awkward person. Found it hard to communicate. Obviously knows the subject very well but limited by his communication skills

Tutors Response :

Thank you for your feedback, Angela! I would like to announce that from now on, students who are not satisfied with their first one-hour lesson will not have to pay for it. I would encourage students reading this to give me feedback directly after the lesson so that I improve.

Franky (Mrs)

Not happy I did not understand any thing due to lack of his language and speech. It was just wasting of time and money. I do not recommend him.

Tutors Response :

Thank you for your feedback, Franky. I am sorry for not satisfying you and not making you happy.
I just want to make some clarifications for potential students.
1. This feedback came just over 3 months after having one lesson in January.
2. The student was a year 10 student who needed help with his school homework.
3. Every time I asked the student if he understands, he says yes. Furthermore, his mum asked him a couple of times if he understands, and the answer was always yes.
4. After the lesson, when the student managed to finish all his homework, he said: "I learned a lot!".
5. The parent was willing to book another lesson on the day after, except that I didn`t have availability.
6. I have improved the way I respond to messages on tutorhunt, so before accepting a student, I will ask some questions before deciding if I am the best person to help. This is one of the methods that I started to use to minimize the number of unhappy clients.
7. After Franky, I did not get any unhappy clients from tutorhunt. As far as I can tell, all my tutorhunt clients were happy in the past 3 months.
I wish all my students (and potential students) all the success!
