Super Prof
Masoud is one of our best tutors. They have a high-quality profile, verified qualifications, a quick response time, and great reviews from students!
About the lesson
I tailor my method based on what you need. We would need to have a discussion beforehand to discuss that. My lessons vary from very basics for newbies to advanced features like object oriented, pointers, graphical units, etc for advanced users.

About Masoud
My first experience with programming language was C# which I learnt during my undergrad (13 years ago) out of curriculum and taught it to many people since then. I have taught all sort of students from college up to PhD's.
I have been consistently coding for my job (and sometimes for fun) in medicine, engineering and mathematics using C/C#, MATLAB, FORTRAN, R, python and a bit of C++.
If you need help with your homework/project or if you just simply want to learn programming, I always will be passionate to share my experience with you.

Perfect! Masoud was very patient in explaining Mathlab programming concepts and thorough in illustrating the steps in solving complex questions in my advance mathematics subject for my Masters degree engineering programme. I am highly satisfied with his approach and dedication in helping me get through a very tough subject. I strongly recommend him.
Masoud's response
- Masoud's response : Imran is hardworking. I taught him matlab for a course or two and enjoyed tutoring him.
Perfect! amazing!
Masoud's response
- Masoud's response : Azh is a smart student. It was a good experience tutoring her
Perfect! Masoud is an excellent tutor
Masoud's response
- Masoud's response : I taught Rita son one or two session. He is a genius.
Perfect! Excellent; very helpful. Made very good progress with a project using MATLAB which would have otherwise taken me a long time.
Highly recommended.Masoud's response
- Masoud's response : I helped Aaron for a MATLAB code he was writing. Aaron is a very bright person. I didn't have to explain anything to the end because he would get it half-way through.
Perfect! I have already had the pleasure to be tutored by Masoud three or four times for projects related to Neuroscience. I use different programming software like MATLAB and R and related packages and toolboxes. He is highly prepared in programming and mathematics and has been always helpful in solving my problems when needed and I did not know how to continue. He even gave me extra support during non-tutoring hours, which makes him a highly recommendable tutor. in conclusion, I am very satisfied with the service offered.
Masoud's response
- Masoud's response : Loris is really smart. I taught him matlab for a few month and we advanced a project together. I enjoyed working with him

Masoud is a great tutor for Python and Matlab. Masoud explains things very well and clearly and is very encouraging. He always takes the time to help, even if it is a last minute request! He is very reliable and helped me out a lot.
Romane
Masoud has been my mentor and tutor for around four months. In this time, my coding and data science skills have vastly improved thanks to his commitment and teaching style. Masoud is a kind and patient tutor and he is able to translate complex concepts in to manageable chunks and thus can make C++ accessible to all. He has adapted many problems to make them relevant for my learning and he in an excellent troubleshooter. In addition to having a high technical competence, Masoud is friendly, funny, a brilliant teacher, and great to work with. I cannot think of a better tutor and would highly recommend him to anyone!
I have known Masoud for 4 years. He is a nice person and was my tutor for hard and specialized topics. He was very helpful and always found the way to transfer knowledge in an efficient and understandable way. He is very professional and passionate for teaching, with high-level skills in programming methods and quality coding. I definitely recommend Masoud as an excellent tutor.

Masoud is one of the smartest people I've ever met! He is literally a king of programming. Whenever I struggle with my code not working he finds a bug within 15 min. And not only that, he is very friendly, always helpful, he has great communication skills and patience, which makes him a great teacher. He is clear in explaining new topics and I never have problems following his thoughts. Thank you Masoud for all your help, you are one of the best!

We will need to have a discussion (no more than 10~15 minutes) to make sure I can help you and agree to timings, etc. I may ask an increased price if what you require needs a lot of preparation from myside. We will discuss this in our first discussion meeting.

01
Can you tell us about your first experience using a computer?
I first ever saw a computer in the company where my dad was working as an accountant in the early 90s. He wasn't using one but there were others who did and all I could see was a black screen with letters and numbers on it. I was very intrigued to learn about that black box. In high school, I had a PC and started learning MS-DOS and QBasic programming which were very similar to what I saw as a kid.
02
2) What is the technological evolution that has marked you most and what will be, in your eyes, a turning point in this field?
I think the paper ADAM "A METHOD FOR STOCHASTIC OPTIMIZATION" was a revolution in IT and in particular statistical learning. The paper was a game changer and revived neural networks which revolutionised the data science field and programming.
03
Explain your expertise, your interest in it and, more broadly, its importance in the computer world.
I love mathematics and computer science. And that is what I have been doing for the past 10+ years. One intersection of these is numerical mathematics and the other is statistical learning. Both of these are the highly demanding jobs in industry and research and crucial for both developing and developed countries.
04
Do so-called 'visionaries', such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg inspire you or do you have other role models?
My role models are great scientists and mathematicians. Unfortunately, most of them are barely known to the public. My idol is David Hilbert. He has posed a lot of questions in different fields of mathematics for some of which even now and with the aid of computers, we are unable to provide an answer.
05
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.
"The more you learn the more you realise you know less". Once we get arrogant and we think we know a lot is the same moment we stop learning.
06
What would you say to an uncomfortable person in front of a screen who says that "IT is too complicated"?
If it's difficult, we are learning it. If it is too easy, then we are probably wasting time and it's time to move on to something else.
07
7) What are your other passions, related or non-related to computers?
I love music and music theory. I play two instruments (one a newbie, other one intermediate). If I was not a mathematician/computer scientist, I probably would have been a musician.
08
What makes you a Superprof in IT?
I don't want to just transfer the knowledge to my students. A recorded tape can do that to an infinite number of people. What a recorded tape cannot do is to excite a student about the topic. I want my students/tutees to experience the same (or more) level of excitement I have when I am learning something new. I want to spark their interest so that they become ambitious.
