Software Development Academy (SDA)
My Activity
Position: Java & SQL Trainer
Period: Nov 2019 – Jun 2021
Approx number of students: 60 (4 classes)
Approx number of students before SDA: ~750 in academic and business environments
I joined SDA in Nov 2019 after previous experiences teaching in:
- faculty as an invited speaker (over 50 students, since 2013) and scientific coordinator of 10 bachelors and master’s thesis (2013-2019)
- student’s organisation, as alumni and technical trainer (over 500 students, since 2011)
- software summer school, as trainer and organizer, for 3 years (18 students, 2016-2018)
- software trainer in a corporate environment, for newcomers and students (over 200 students, 2012-2019)
I have always had a penchant for teaching other people, ever since my primary school years (when I was unofficially teaching my other classmates informatics – an optional course), so I always try to identify situations in which I can pass on my knowledge to others.
So SDA was a great place to do just that and it was most challenging because for the first time ever, I taught non-technical students who wanted a change of career to the informatics domain.
During my work here, I had 2 main responsibilities:
- to teach students topics of my expertise
- to supervise the examination process
My teaching activity
Teaching others is one of the passions of my life. During my professional life I experienced all types of teaching I could:

- trainer in a private software academy (Software Development Academy)
- summer school trainer (TC software summer school)
- trainer in students organizations (check specific details here: LSE | MobilPRO | CareerTeam)
