Improve your French by following our online French courses. I teach courses and help organize foreign companies in matters of organization and fixed obligations such as monthly expenses and scheduling client appointments.

While adults are still debating whether kids should use AI, they are already using it.
The question isn't "should they?" it's "how do we do it intelligently?"

In this course, your child will discover:
✓ What AI actually is: not magic, not mystery. How machines think, what they can do, what they can't
✓ How ChatGPT really works: not just "ask a question and get an answer," but why it responds that way, where it fails, when to trust it
✓ What LLMs are (Large Language Models): in language they understand, not tech jargon
✓ Create with AI: custom avatars, interactive stories, real projects using real tools
✓ Think critically about AI: Bias, privacy, creativity. What does AI do better than humans? What can't it do?
✓ Real-world applications: How AI transforms medicine, education, art, gaming, everyday life

Why this is different:
Most AI courses for kids teach "here's the tool, use it." I teach how to think about AI.
Your child will learn to see AI not as black magic or a solution to everything, but as a powerful tool with real limits.
And, more importantly: that they can control how they use it.

What they take home:
Real projects they created (custom avatar, interactive app, analysis of a real AI case study). A genuine understanding of how it works. And the ability to use AI responsibly and creatively.

Format: Online | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible, adapted to their age and pace

For curious kids asking "How does ChatGPT actually know things?"

A practical, ground level, introduction on how to use computers and the basic connected tools within the Microsoft Office suite.

It includes introductory lessons on how to use various operating system tools and then moves onto programs like: Excel, Word and Powerpoint.

Need to strengthen your IT skills? Whether you are in a Bachelor's degree, a Master's degree, or a student at an engineering school, take advantage of the expertise of a doctor in IT for tailor-made training.
Adapted to your level and your objectives: Whether you are discovering a subject or aiming for excellence, my courses adjust to your needs.
Interactive and practical lessons: Practice directly with relevant exercises and projects.
Deep Learning: From advanced algorithms to system architecture and organization concepts, master the essential basics and go beyond.
With me you will not only learn computer science – you will understand it and apply it successfully.

Using a computer and these applications can be complicated for some and I therefore offer training to those who need it.

This training includes basic and advanced use of Windows computers and/or Mac OS (Apple) multiple applications such as the MS-Office suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc.), Teams, Outlook etc...

Being a graduate with more than 20 years of experience at different levels in the field, it is possible to approach different levels of complexity from beginner to expert in Microsoft/Windows and/or Apple/MacOS/IOS environments.

Do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to answer your questions.

Grammar and Computer basics are essential to know nowadays. You should know these because it’s beneficial to yourself and for traveling, resolving life situations, for when you decide to go to college and will be useful to become a professional in the future because this adds up strong skills, which will be attractive for companies when hiring you.

FOR CODING LESSONS WE HAVE STRUCTURED PROGRAMS
CHILD - > MINECRAFT CODING-> SCRATCH -> APP INVENTOR -> ROBLOX -> PYTHON ( DEPEND ON CHILD AGE)
ADULT -> PYTHON -> ALGORITHMS - > C++ - > CERTAIN NICHE OF THEIR CHOOSING TO BECOME EXPERT (14+)
AND WE TEACH OLD AND YOUNG PEOPLE BASIC KNOWLEDGE ABT PCS AND SMARTPHONE

This class should help students learn how to write programs and, more importantly, how to think while programming.

It covers core ideas such as variables, conditions, loops, functions, and debugging, with explanations adjusted to the student’s level and chosen language.

The class welcomes all levels, from first-time programmers to students who want help with assignments or a deeper understanding. Students can request specific languages or topics, and lessons can follow school or university curricula.

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life and to know how to identify digital traps.

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?
