« Perfect! So far I have only had a handful of sessions with Igor and all I can say is that I am extremely impressed with him. His organisation, attention to detail and how he teaches is outstanding. He asks for any documents to be sent to him before the lesson, he prepares notes for you and then concisely goes through what you have asked. He explains concepts well, provides analogies, gives examples and documents everything for you. As well as organising all your recordings and files for you to revisit in your spare time. I like how he explains each line of code in detail and then gives you several overviews of what is happening. I highly recommend him as a tutor and I am looking forward to my future lessons with him. »

Methodology

I am looking forward to sharing my experience and knowledge in computer programming with anyone who wants to improve their programming skills (at any level). I strongly believe in practice based learning supported by underlying theory. I also believe that programming is not about memorising syntax, but understanding its logics. This way, learning other programming languages will be a matter of a few days.

One of our best tutors! High-quality profile, qualifications verified and response guaranteed. Igor will plan your first lesson with care.

Experience

Hi, I’m Igor and I’ve been programming since I was 9 years old. I am not limiting myself to one programming language and I am capable of teaching you most of the mainstream programming languages including Java, C, Python, PHP, JavaScript (Node.js + TypeScript), Arduino and others. I believe that programming is not about learning syntax, but understanding underlying theoretical concepts and its logics, which makes it easy to learn new programming languages in the future. I have several years of lecturing experience acquired while working at the Middlesex University. I am able to organise sessions in English as well as Polish depending on your preference.

I currently teach various programming modules at the university and I am taking care of the faculty IT infrastructure on a daily basis.

My expertise includes:
- Computer programming
- Server management (Linux/Windows, VMware Virtualisation)
- Databases (MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB)
- Amazon AWS
- Web development

Please get in touch with me if you should have any questions :)

Perfect! So far I have only had a handful of sessions with Igor and all I can say is that I am extremely impressed with him. His organisation, attention to detail and how he teaches is outstanding. He asks for any documents to be sent to him before the lesson, he prepares notes for you and then concisely goes through what you have asked. He explains concepts well, provides analogies, gives examples and documents everything for you. As well as organising all your recordings and files for you to revisit in your spare time.

Igor's response

Maya is a smart and motivated student. She is really interested in the subject and she really wants to understand the subject in depth. I really enjoyed the session working our way through the problem together!

Benjamin

Perfect! Just had my first lesson and everything is much clearer and my understanding of JavaScript has improved a lot! I would recommend him if you're struggling in JavaScript (what I needed help with)

Igor's response

Benjamin is really interested in the subject and strongly motivated. He is picking up knowledge quickly. He's a very nice and talkative person :)

Helena

Igor is the best tutor I ever had.
His programming skills are really good and he’s really educated and polite.
I had struggle understanding some languages and he calmly explain everything to me until I understood.
He’s using a very practical approach to teaching, i would recommend it to everybody

Artur

Igor is great support during the lesson. He always find many different way to explain the problem and adapt to my needs. He also used a clear examples, so it is so much easier to understand the problem. With his lesson even the most overwhelming problem step by step becomes fully understandable. Thank you and fully recommend.

Safaa

He helped my daughter out with her understanding of python and c++ for her undergraduate degree. Very patient, kind and hardworking and explains the logic behind programming. He made sure that My daughter had a strong foundation of knowledge so that she is able to programme in any language as she understands the logics and the basics very well.

Andre

I have been Igor’s student at the university. Igor has lots of programming experience and he’s made for teaching. He has a practical teaching approach which makes it easy to follow and understand. He has lots of materials and can explain complicated concepts in depth.

Interview with Igor

QUESTION 01 | 08

Can you tell us about your first experience using a computer?

Igor — My first experience using a computer was when I was 4 years old, my dad had his work computer at home, and he would allow me to play with WordPad for an hour a week. Back in the days it was one of the most enjoyable things for me to do. As I was getting older, he introduced me to HTML which got me interested in computer programming.

QUESTION 02 | 08

What is the technological evolution that has marked you most and what will be, in your eyes, a turning point in this field?

Igor — When broadband became available in my country it was a huge shock not only to me, but those around me. Using internet without hearing modem making dial-up sounds while connecting was a real luxury - today most of us have access to the internet wherever we go. Not to mention internet connected (smart) washing machines, fridges or microwaves.

QUESTION 03 | 08

Explain your expertise, your interest in it and, more broadly, its importance in the computer world.

Igor — Programming was infused within me at the age of 9. Throughout the years, I had a chance to program in various languages including Java, Python, C, PHP, JavaScript and others. Computers without programming would be just a bunch of connected electronic components, it is programming which makes them become more clever or even autonomous.

QUESTION 04 | 08

Do so-called 'visionaries', such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg inspire you or do you have other role models?

Igor — Visionaries inspire me, but my role models were changing throughout the years as I was acquiring knowledge and understanding. In my childhood Bill Gates was my biggest inspiration and one of the drives behind my programming passion. Since then much has changed and today I am more fond of the work of Elon Musk and Linus Torvalds.

QUESTION 05 | 08

Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

Igor — I strongly believe that goals should be set higher than expectations. That is why at school, when we were given tasks like creating an image using Pascal, I instead created a short 3-minute animation. My tutor was impressed, yet annoyed because he had to go through hundreds of lines of code. It was worth it though.

QUESTION 06 | 08

What would you say to an uncomfortable person in front of a screen who says that "IT is too complicated"?

Igor — IT might seem complicated, but we are here together to make it seem easy. Luckily, even though it is complicated, it is very logical. Understand its logics and underlying theory and it will become crystal clear.

QUESTION 07 | 08

What are your other passions, related or non-related to computers?

Igor — I am passionate about automotive industry (and its links to computer science). I am also a curious person, so I spend most of the time checking interesting facts or reading articles. My partner calls me weird sometimes as I am solving Project Euler problems for fun.

QUESTION 08 | 08

What makes you a Superprof in IT?

Igor — I think that more than 15 years of experience, supported by several years of academic lecturing make me a Superprof. I am also a very patient guy who was called funny a few times.
