• I adopt a concrete and interactive approach: you code from the first lesson, with examples close to your needs and mini-projects to anchor what you have learned. Courses in C, C++, Python, Java, interactive Arduino projects, web development, etc.
• I have successfully accompanied students from EPFL, HEC Lausanne, HES-SO (HEIG-VD, HEIA-Fr) of EHL, etc. With a 100% success rate in exams on my student history!
• Each session begins with a simple explanation of key concepts (variables, loops, functions, objects, etc.), immediately followed by practical exercises to help you progress quickly and effectively.
• The objective is twofold: to build solid foundations and make you independent, while targeting your assessments and your concrete objectives.

Extra information
• Courses are given online via Zoom or Teams and with traditional collaboration tools
• At the end of each course, you will receive a summary PDF sheet (theory, examples, exercises). The video of the session is available if needed to review a specific concept. From the first course, you will have access to a shared drive containing courses, exercises and exam papers from several levels and schools.

About Me
• EPFL-graduate Robotics Engineer and Mathematics & Computer Science teacher at Gymnase (upper secondary school, canton of Vaud, Switzerland). I have been supporting students of all levels for over 10 years: secondary school, gymnase, EPFL, HES, and adults in professional retraining.
• I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, programming (C, C++, Python, Java) and AI-assisted coding (Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex).
• My teaching method is built on three pillars: clear and structured explanations, targeted exercises for fast progress, and systematic comprehension checks. I tailor every lesson to the student's profile and goals, in a supportive and motivating atmosphere.
• 100% success rate at exams across my track record. First 1-hour lesson is free.

As an EPFL robotics engineer and computer science teacher at the Gymnasium level, I support beginners, professionals retraining for a new career, and curious adults in mastering generative AI tools for coding, automation, and creation. No prior technical knowledge is required.
• Understanding the AI ecosystem: ChatGPT, Claude AI, Gemini, Mistral. Which tool for which use?
• Mastering prompt engineering: structuring requests, obtaining reliable results
• Coding with AI (vibe coding): Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot to create applications and automations without being a developer
• Python fundamentals: just what you need to communicate effectively with AI and understand the generated code
• Concrete use cases: automating Excel, processing documents, creating a chatbot, connecting APIs
My goal: to take you from a simple ChatGPT user to a true creator of intelligent solutions.
