Online Learning Platform - Virtual Classrooms

• To ensure a seamless learning experience, all sessions will be conducted on Zoom’s education platform – a leading virtual classroom software. Before the programme's commencement, each participant will receive a welcome kit detailing information about their tutors, mentors, guest speakers, and an overview of their chosen programme. An interactive timetable, complete with session links, will also be provided for ease of access.

• For students hailing from various time zones, our dual-stream system ensures you won’t miss out on any learning opportunity. Moreover, our collaboration with Ivy League tutors offers a unique chance for those interested in pursuing further education in the USA.

1:1 Courses with World-Class Tutors

If you're seeking a more personalized learning experience, we also offer 1:1 tailor-made courses with world-class tutors! The dates and specific subjects can be arranged according to your schedule. To make this happen, please reach out to our free advisory.

Example Tutor

Thomas L.

Thomas is a DPhil student currently studying Computational Sciences in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford.

His doctoral project is entitled 'Exploring Quantum Algorithms for Real-world Applications' and aims to develop efficient quantum computing methods to solve complex problems in physics and finance.

Younesse K.

Younesse Kaddar is a PhD candidate at the University of Oxford, having previously studied at the University of Cambridge and Paris-Saclay. The long-term aim of his PhD is to try to make machine learning more "algebraic" (hence more explainable) through the use of categorical semantics and programming language theory - by focusing more specifically on probabilistic programming semantics.
