The team

Holds doctoral and master's level education in business, finance, statistics and economics. Has been tutoring and consulting privately for close to fifteen years.

Aims to be a mentor and a role model for his students, preparing them through one to one lessons for both academic and professional life.

Born in Lisbon and a native Portuguese speaker. He read Business Management at Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa, took a post-graduate degree in Information Systems at Universidade Aberta, and holds a trainer certification from the Portuguese National Employment Ministry.

The first part of his career was spent in logistics, finance and enterprise systems: ERP rollouts (MS Dynamics and SAP), supply chains and international consulting projects. The Chartered Accountant title and the SAP and Microsoft certifications come from that period.

He brings that background to the lesson. He is used to taking a complex system apart; instead of asking a student to memorise a rule, he shows why the rule works that way. Active in Portugal, Brazil and Turkey.

I originally wanted to be a mathematician. During my computer engineering studies, I came to see that mathematics is the foundational building block of engineering: that a good engineer must first be a good mathematician. The desire to pass this realization on to the next generation led me to found my own academic center in 2008; I have been teaching ever since, for twenty years.

Over the years I have learned one clear thing: in crowded classrooms, students' cognitive perception and learning decline. In groups of no more than three, results improve dramatically. I built ITMagic Academy on this principle: not a classroom, but coaching. I bring my engineering experience and a carefully built network of former students and industry professionals to bear on each student's path: career perspective is part of this work, alongside the lesson itself.

Every student begins with a forty-five-minute complimentary introductory meeting: we gather data, analyze the current situation together, and set a realistic target. Then we agree on a schedule: for every hour they spend with me, they commit to two hours of focused independent study. I provide the structure; discipline is the student's.

After completing my degree in Sociology at Anadolu University, I earned a master's degree and further training at Çukurova and Mersin Universities, and worked for nearly eighteen years as a psychological counselor and guidance teacher in the private sector.

Along the way I gathered many trainings on education and on people: student and life coaching, NLP, quantum learning and Characterix among them. I am one of those who believe that human beings have an immense capacity to do many things, both separately and together.

I then moved to İzmir, my most cherished dream, and began independent work in education, along with a two-year venture into commerce. My aim was to rethink everything I knew and find the version of myself closest to the truth. I believe it is precious to keep our perspective wide and to find the things that let us realize ourselves. I will be glad to be in touch with you along this path.
