About UpskillGrid
Who writes these guides, and how they are checked.
Who runs UpskillGrid
UpskillGrid is run by Syed Shahmikh Ali. I studied mechatronics engineering and now teach computer science one to one. On Preply I am a Super Tutor and in the top 10% of computer science tutors, and I am Oxford University Press trained. I teach IGCSE, GCSE, Cambridge AS and A Level, IB (SL and HL) and AP (CSA and CSP) Computer Science, plus Python and Java.
Students ask me the same questions every week: which AI tool should I use, is this course really free, will this certificate help me get a job. UpskillGrid is where I answer those questions properly, once, with sources.
What you will find here
- AI tools: what a tool does, what it costs and who it suits.
- How-to guides: numbered steps you can follow.
- Free courses and certificates: what is free to learn, what has a free certificate, and what needs payment.
- Career skills: which skills and certifications are worth the time.
How guides are made
Every guide links to the official pages it relies on, and shows a published and updated date. Prices, free trials and course rules change often, so always confirm on the official page before you pay. Our full approach is in the editorial policy.
