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.

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?"

I am a dynamic and demanding teacher who gives private lessons in Physics-Chemistry as well as Mathematics.

I graduated from teaching seven years ago, after a masters in physical sciences with honors, and I teach in college and high school since.
I have also been preparing students for the Baccalaureate Science for many years, all of whom have been awarded very good honors.
I also prepare my students for different exams (Matu, Bac, preparation for EPFL, etc...)

I make sure to rework the basics so that the student can progress quickly. It is important to me that my students acquire a solid foundation of knowledge.
I also give effective work methods that will allow him to progress much more quickly and so he can regain self-confidence.

I can travel to the student's home or also conduct the lesson via Zoom/Google Meet.

I offer programming lessons for students who want to build strong foundations, improve their problem-solving skills, or get help with coursework and projects.

I am a Master’s student in HealthTech and Robotics in Strasbourg, with a strong background in engineering, mathematics, programming, and technical problem solving. I teach in a clear, patient, and structured way, with a focus on helping students understand the logic behind the code, not just copy solutions.

Depending on the student’s level and needs, I can help with programming fundamentals, algorithms, problem solving, debugging, and writing cleaner code. I mainly teach Python, MATLAB, C, and C++, and I can also help students understand basic embedded programming concepts and microcontroller-related work.

My goal is to make programming more understandable, less intimidating, and more practical, while helping each student build confidence and become more independent.

• Teaching methodology and techniques: I favour a personalized approach, adapting the courses according to the profile and academic background of each student.
• Typical course structure: tutoring in economics, econometrics, statistics and probability, financial mathematics, trading, investment, or political economy. Courses can take place at home, via videoconference, or at a pre-selected location, ideally quiet, free, and conducive to learning.
• Specifics as a teacher: I offer support throughout the school year, with free corrections of exercises outside of class, regular availability, and the guarantee of being accessible until the end of the year, subject to the general conditions of Superprof.
• Target audience: all levels, regardless of diploma, class or specific characteristics.
-------
The path and the method are in there; take a little bit of each.

Holding a degree in mathematics from EPFL, I offer private lessons in Geneva or online.

I graduated from EPFL with a degree in mathematics, having completed all the Bachelor's level courses in this discipline. I have gained significant experience tutoring students from middle school to university level (mathematics and physics). I have also assisted with teaching at EPFL, particularly in specialized courses such as analytic geometry (advanced mathematics course), analysis (first and second year Bachelor's level), and linear algebra (first year Bachelor's level). My in-depth mastery of the theory in these disciplines provides me with the skills and teaching abilities necessary to effectively support high school and university students, helping them understand the theoretical concepts in their courses and apply them practically in their exercises.

Typical course: a quick review (adapted to needs) of the essential concepts of the course, followed by practical exercises and oral role-playing (going to the board, discussion on the physical meaning, etc.), as in a competitive oral exam.

All my lessons are prepared in advance based on the topics covered in class (the student specifies their needs from one session to the next). I also create a handout containing sample exercises illustrating different methods, fully corrected and explained by me.

My commitment to my students' success is absolute. I only prioritize motivated students who are ready to put in the necessary effort to progress.

My main focus is on in-depth understanding and the quality of work. Depending on the student's request, I can also suggest exercises to do between sessions (not mandatory, depending on available time and homework already assigned by their school).

Installation & Setup: Configure your working environment (VS Code, PyCharm or IDLE).

The Fundamentals: Variables, data types (numbers, lists, dictionaries) and basic operations.

Programming Logic: Mastering conditions (if/else) and loops (for/while) to give intelligence to your code.

Functions & Modularity: Learn how to structure your code so that it is clean and reusable.

My Methodology
80% Practice: You learn better by typing code than by looking at slides.

Positive Pedagogy: No judgment, we move forward step by step. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn.

Personalized Support: I adapt to your specific objectives (homework help, personal project or intellectual curiosity).

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.
