I am currently teaching MY470 Computer Programming (in Python), MY452 Applied Regression Analysis (in R) at the Department of Methodology, and GV263 Public Policy Analysis at the Department of Government at the London School of Economics. I previously taught Introduction to Quantitative Analysis (Applied Statistics in R) at the University of Oxford. Additionally, I provide tutoring for prospective university applicants with a passion for data science and computer programming, following the Harvard CS50 curriculum and engaging in project-based work on DataCamp.

In my 8 years of teaching experience, I have instructed over 200 students in both small and large groups. My objective is to guide you from having no coding knowledge to becoming a proficient programmer in just a few months through intensive classes utilizing the flipped classroom method, or using the Oxbridge tutorial system. This approach involves watching lectures at your own pace and going through more advanced exercises during class time. By following this method, you will not only excel in your school/university courses but also be prepared for what Harvard Business Review deems as the "sexiest job of the 21st Century."

In addition to programming education, I also provide tutoring in essay-based subjects and English as a Second Language, using curricula from Oxford University Press. Read less

My teaching in technical subjects, such as programming and statistics, is based on the flipped classroom method. In this approach, students are required to watch lecture materials on their own time, allowing us to focus on solving more challenging problems during class. This method enables us to identify areas of weakness and provide a more personalized education.

For essay-based subjects and ESL, I employ a similar teaching style. My classes resemble the structure of an Oxbridge tutorial, where the Socratic approach is heavily utilized to question assumptions and delve into logical avenues for further exploration. Read less
