Tutor Profile

Stas

Stas

I am a professional mathematician with a PhD in Probability Theory from the University of Warwick. 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 (hello LLMs!).

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!
