Private Maths and Languages: Python Tutor in Cambridge

Hi, I'm Stas! I am a professional mathematician and a maths tutor. Currently, I am a research Data Scientist in the crop science sector as well as a supervisor and an affiliate lecturer at Cambridge University. Although my training is in theoretical mathematics, I love the applied side of maths. I greatly enjoy programming and keeping up with all the new tech.

Teaching Experience

I have 20 years of experience teaching mathematics, from A-level students to postgraduates at UK's top universities (Cambridge, Oxford, Warwick,...). I have taught both in a private capacity as well as in a university setting (tutorials, Oxbridge style supervisions, drop-in sessions, workshops).

At the postgraduate/professional level, my specialties are:

  • Statistics
  • Probability Theory
  • Machine Learning
  • Scientific Computing (R/Python)

but do get in touch if your are interested in a different field.

Tutoring Approach

Lessons are tailored to the student's needs but the fundamental principle is always gaining some intuition for and understanding of the underlying theory before tackling practical problems. Demystifying a formula goes a long way to making one feel comfortable using it!

I engaged Stasia to help with improving my understanding and use of statistics. Stasia is very knowledgeable and has always been very patient in her explanations of more complex subjects. Stasia has been flexible in arranging the meetings dates and venues and I have enjoyed my learning and developed a much better understanding of statistics.

My daughter just got a 1st in her 1st year maths (Morse) at Warwick university thanks to Stasia tutoring her in a few modules. Very pleased.
