Trusted teacher: Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life, to know how to identify digital traps, and to use Word, Excel, etc. without difficulty. 1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?) AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality. How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image. Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa). 2: Using AI to make life easier Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini): Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter. Summarize a long newspaper article or document. Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge. AI for creativity and memory: Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E). Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos. 3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt) The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe". The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener". 4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide) "Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification). Privacy protection: Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI. Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it. Spotting "Deepfakes": How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice). Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources. 5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further) Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI? The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers. The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

Experienced Math Tutor | IB, OMPT, VWO, Exams & University Math (Amsterdam)
Baia
rating star
rating green star
Baia is a great tutor who has helped me prepare for a placement test for university (OMPT). She is knowledgeable, resourceful, patient and easy to work with. She provided me with a lot of materials, including theory explanation, exercises and mock tests (which were extremely useful as I practiced for the real exam). She is very responsive and available to answer questions as you work through the materials. Whether you need help understanding Math in general or getting ready for exams, I would definitely recommend Baia classes!

Amin

rating green star
So far, I've been getting help with my IGCSE 's in Math and Computer Science with Amin. In most of the lessons I've been with him, he's been really helpful and responsible. He has also been very patient. He helps me become more confident in my answers and makes the lessons pretty fun! After my lessons with him, I do understand my topics more and am able to go to my classes in school without feeling lost. If you're ever struggling with Physics or Programming, I'm sure he can help you too :)
