We had an extremely high level conversation, it's not easy at all to find a teacher (or anyone else) with such a degree of knowlewdge, so I felt happy to have been able to share my views and learn many other interesting things with someone who love to do research on many thought provoking topics. Today we spoke about A.I., under many point of views, technical and philosophical as well. The debate was crammed with many profound theories and concepts that they would have needed a much longer disquisition.

It is helpful and the tutor is resourceful with a British accent. I found that the tutor is able to cover various topics from business to technology, and many more. If you would like to enjoy a conversation, it will be great to talk with.
