Promotional offer: For students looking for lessons in Operating Systems and System Programming (system software), 30% discount on these lessons. The offer lasts until I receive a sufficient number of recommendations on this site. If you're struggling with projects in these subjects, this is a good time to write them.

Over 10 years of active experience working in various areas of software development (from financial software to video games, more details at https://www.linkedin.com/in/profilevasoli/) should be enough to speak to my professional knowledge.

On the other hand, my experience in teaching during my studies, mostly in programming subjects (basic programming languages such as C or C++, as well as more advanced topics such as operating systems or system programming) gives me the necessary pedagogical experience for teaching. I stopped teaching when, despite the high price of my lessons, there were too many of them (where people found me through word of mouth) and I couldn't handle other things. Since I had already been professionally working in the field for some time, there was no room for such extensive additional activity. As I enjoyed that work and think I was very good at it, I want to actively engage in it again, but on a smaller scale.

Now, the areas in which I can teach others. These are primarily areas of computer science and programming. The areas I would highlight as having special experience are those I have taught before: C/C++, operating systems/system programming (university level), as well as modern backend software development practices. What I would exclude from the computer science sphere is frontend development, as I have little personal interest in this topic. As for mathematical areas, I have highlighted some that are particularly interesting to me (for probability and statistics, read probability), but I also have a generally solid knowledge of other mathematical areas.

About my teaching approach: I primarily teach people to understand and master the material, not necessarily just how to pass a specific exam. This sometimes seems too broad, but from my experience, it has shown that real knowledge only stays that way.

I have primarily focused on teaching students, as this is the time when, at least it should be, learning for later application in a job, but I am also open to teaching secondary school students if they want to expand their knowledge. I am also here for those who want to learn beyond school needs, i.e. those who work and need some specific professional knowledge.

For some areas, I have developed methodological learning methods for passing exams (Programming 1&2 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering) or completing projects (Operating Systems 1&2, System Programming), but I would also advise students to consider the bigger picture.

What you can expect from a single booked lesson. Probably relatively little, solving one or two specific problems in already known material. So, systematic knowledge is always needed more than one lesson, even for a single subject.

A bit about me: I am someone who constantly loves to learn and acquire new knowledge. My interests range from natural sciences and mathematics to social sciences. Currently, I am fascinated by topics in philosophy, for example.
