Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

• What is the role of a school coach? As a professional, support young people between 12 and 25 years old, in their personal and more particularly school career, when they want to make a change.

• So, if the topics covered are orientation, motivation, self-confidence and working methods, it will be all about defining an objective and defining the steps to achieve it, based on tools and specific methods, a neutral and benevolent position and its very specific questions.

• It is therefore a question of seeing more clearly, decoding and analyzing in order to manage what is blocking, to learn to go beyond one's limits independently, by relying on internal and external resources and by determining the steps to achieve this. his rhythm.

• If the work of the coach with the parents consists in better accompanying them to understand and support their children in their generation, the work of the coach with the young person is different: By listening as well as the tools / suggestions proposed as well as the attention given to the emotions experienced, it is a question of reinforcing his motivation to get involved in his role, to develop the desired skills, in line with his professional project, through the recognition and valuation of his own talents.

Thus, it is a question of acquiring and then deploying pragmatic tools and methods in order to:
• Support young people with high potential and / or hypersensitivity
• Know yourself better (values, desires, needs, motivations, talents, etc.)
• Gain awareness and esteem
• Pass exams
• Better manage stress and emotions related to exams and gain self-confidence
• Better manage your workload, projects, time and priorities
• Prepare for exams, optimize your organization, find your creative levers
• Improve your relationship with others, your communication, team spirit
• Dare to assert oneself while respecting one's values
• Build and realize your professional project
• Overcome your difficulties, your potential and become aware of the opportunities that may be offered.
• Integrate didactic learning skills and self-knowledge, in addition to skills and coaching tools
• Support young people on different themes such as social integration, relationship with oneself and with others, the meaning of learning, organization, orientation choices, construction of a project

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions*. (*study 2022)

19. Assessment Quiz (Multiple Choice Questions)
To validate the actual understanding of the concepts.

🛠️ Teaching method: Understand before writing

This training program is based on a progressive and pragmatic approach:
Clear and illustrated explanations
Concrete examples from real projects
Simple but effective exercises
Constant questioning to avoid rote learning
Adaptation to the learner's level and pace
Here, we don't "recite OOP" — we understand it.

🚀 Learner's result

At the end of the training, you will not only know how to write a JavaScript class.
You will know:

1- Why does it exist?
2- When to use it
3- and when not to use it

You will leave with:
a solid understanding of OOP
a cleaner and more professional code
an ideal foundation for learning React, Node.js or any other modern framework

Learn Python by building something you’ll actually use

Ever wanted to code but had no idea where to begin? You’re in the right place. In these relaxed, one-on-one lessons, you’ll go from zero to writing real programs, with no experience required.

Together, we’ll choose a project that fits your interests. Maybe it’s a video game you want to build or a quiz to challenge your friends, a chart built from your own spreadsheet, or a script that takes over a boring, repetitive task. Along the way, you’ll pick up the essentials (variables, loops, functions) and learn to read error messages without panic, so you can change your code with confidence.

Where you can go next

AI-assisted coding: Use tools like ChatGPT to brainstorm, decode errors, and improve your code, while learning to test its suggestions and explain how the final result works.
Machine learning: Train a simple model on a real dataset and see how well it predicts.
Your own project: Bring an idea from school, work, or a hobby, and we’ll break it into steps you can build at your own pace.

Your instructor

I’m an engineer with a master’s degree from Nagoya University and research experience in applied AI and computer vision. I explain every concept in plain language, then give you time to try it yourself with live feedback, so you’re never stuck alone.

Ready to start?

Send me a quick message and let's do your first coding project together.

Is your code not doing what you want it to? Are you learning Python but just copying and pasting without really understanding?

Loops, functions, algorithms, data structures... Behind these intimidating concepts lie simple, visual ideas. My goal: to help you understand them, not just apply them.

These tools may seem difficult at first, but they make perfect sense once you visualize them in practice: seeing a loop run, a variable change, a list fill up. That’s the level I’d like to help you reach, using diagrams, analogies, and programs we’ll build together, line by line.

I offer computer science lessons (Python and other languages), from middle school through college, to help you:
- overcome obstacles and regain confidence,
- prepare for your exams (Brevet, Baccalaureate, midterms, entrance exams, NSI),
- make progress on your projects: lab assignments, scripts, games, digital projects...

Each lesson is tailored to your needs: we’ll go over the tricky parts, code together, and I’ll teach you methods to become self-sufficient.

Message me to schedule your first lesson: let’s make the abstract clear!
