OPTMAL leverage active learning: this means, you are actively encouraged to take part in how you learn, whether it’s via interacting with our fine-tuned AI model, or taking part in guided projects.

Active learning on the other hand, more than doubles retention, as well as dramatically increasing the odds of successfully completing a course, especially in STEM: Active learning increases student performance in science, engineering, and mathematics.
As well, online education is typically not working so well: less than 10% complete an online course, and less than 5% when it is involving technology: A comparative study of completion rates from different perspectives.
Generative AI allows us to flip online education on its head and create a more successful learning environment.

Hey I’m Fred!
I have a tremendous passion for learning & technology. Generative AI is changing the way we work, and it’s the best time ever to learn these tools. However, online learning has been lackluster for far too long.
I created OPTMAL for 3 main reasons:
Learn faster and retain more via technology.
Build skills & learn tools in demand.
Shrink the timeline from learning –> working.
I’ve taught thousands of learners around the world with a 4.9*/5 average rating. I hope you entrust me likewise to help you on your learning journey!

Our AI solution combines the power of not just ChatGPT models, but a variety of other AI models as well (such as O1, Claude, LLama, DeepSeek, Gemini, etc.). The most adequate underlying model is used in real-time to best answer the query at hand. It’s like having one subscription that gives you access to all the best state-of-the-art AI models and the best model is used depending on what you ask!

“Excellent Mentor, very patient, and teaches us everything in a simple and understandable language. Also, I found out his English accent is clear and understandable compared to the previous mentor. Fred is a Great Mentor.”
"Fred has an exceptional quality to clarify the concepts while providing the supporting examples. He is also very clear on what we won’t have the clarity about like which model to apply as it depends on the data and the problem we are trying to solve for eluding to the nature of the iterative learning process.”
"Fred is awesome. His presentation skills are peerless. He tries to answer all questions in a concise manner, and has extremely good subject matter expertise."
"It's been a great experience having Fred as our mentor for this course. Fred is very knowledgeable, very patient with all of us. He takes the time to explain all the concepts and answer all the questions. Not every person is a good fit to teach others. In my opinion Fred is a great asset for this course in general and for all the students. GREAT WORK and THANK YOU for all your help!!"
"The class itself was interesting, and I really appreciated Fred's approach and responsiveness to the Q&A texts! He is a good instructor who shows care, concern, and enthusiasm for not only the subject matter but also the students/attendees. The lecture itself and Fred's approach was 5-star worthy."
