With three years of hands-on experience in Python, data science, and software engineering, starting from my professional roles in university, I specialize in helping learners build their skills from scratch. I tutor complete beginners who are discovering Python and programming basics. I also support learners with some experience who want to transition into data science, machine learning, web development, or Android development.

My background includes data analysis, visualization, modeling, machine learning, full-stack web design and development, and Android app development. I’ve successfully mentored learners with no prior technical knowledge, guiding them from basic syntax to practical real-world projects. I also assist developers who are already comfortable with Python but need a structured way to dive into data science and machine learning concepts.

I focus on interactive, real-world examples that link theory to practice. This helps learners not only understand how things work but also why they do. Based in Nairobi, I offer flexible online sessions and can start promptly. I provide customized learning plans, code exercises, and track progress. My approach is practical, structured, and emphasizes building confidence, ensuring learners can effectively apply what they learn in real software and data-driven projects.
