University of Amsterdam computer science student: online programming lessons in Python, C and Linux, beginner to advanced

From 17 £ /h

As a computer science student at the University of Amsterdam I can help students learn to program from scratch or progress if they already have experience. The student chooses what to study: programming in general (using pseudocode), Python or C. I scored 8.5/10 on the university’s C programming exam (the average being 5.5). Lessons take place online with screen sharing to work directly on the student’s code. I can also offer an introduction to the Linux terminal if needed.

I was part of the Belgian national cybersecurity team and represented the country at the European competition (ECSC) for the past two years. At the invitation of the Belgian government I also helped find vulnerabilities in the systems of the Belgian federal police and was awarded a medal by the Director General of the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium.

I know how to teach, adapt to each student and show patience thanks to the tennis lessons I give to children in the summer. I am fluent in French, Dutch and English and can therefore give my lessons in the student’s language. The first lesson is free: I assess the student’s level and goals and then suggest a suitable plan.

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.

If you’ve ever felt that science and math are difficult, it’s probably because no one showed you how to think like a problem solver.
In my classes, you’ll learn not just formulas or code but how to truly understand concepts, apply them, and build strong logical intuition.

I teach:
• 🔢 Mathematics: From algebra and calculus to applied problem-solving for real-world use.
• 💻 Computer Science: Coding fundamentals (Python, C++), algorithms, and logical thinking for beginners and intermediate learners.
• ⚛️ Physics: Mechanics, thermodynamics, and practical examples that make abstract ideas simple and visual.

As a Software Engineer and Master’s student in Engineering at Nagoya University, I bring both academic knowledge and hands-on experience from real projects. My teaching approach is interactive, visual, and deeply focused on understanding over memorization.

Let’s turn complex problems into clear, step-by-step insights — and make learning something you genuinely enjoy.

Python is the programming language these days. It is simple, nice and almost all modern applications use it. With Python, we can now create artificial intelligence models that reduce human effort and give us more accurate and reliable results. The Java and C languages are not lacking in importance, they also make it possible to create applications optimized in terms of RAM.

The composition of the course depends on the level of the student and his own objectives. The first session is a one-hour evaluation session which allows the diagnosis of the level and the needs of the student. From this diagnosis we establish together a program that we will follow during our course.

Generally the course allows the student to assimilate:
* Predefined Data Types & Variables;
* Conditional Structures & Loops;
* Functions ;
* Object-oriented programming (OOP);
* Digital engineering;
* An introduction to databases (Examples and uses)
* Relational Algebra
* LDD, LCD, LMD, LCT
* SQL queries (SELECT, UPDATE, ...)
* Creation of a database and automation of queries using the Python language
* Handling files (TXT, Excel, CSV, JSON, Word);
* Data science;
* Introduction and some applications of Artificial Intelligence.

I am waiting for you to start this adventure.

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?

I'm a working MEP engineer, currently building Python automation for Revit workflows daily - plan checks, model coordination, and repetitive drafting tasks. I teach other engineers, architects, and BIM professionals how to do the same, using pyRevit and real project workflows, not toy examples.

Topics include:
pyRevit fundamentals and setup
Automating repetitive Revit tasks (model checks, plan generation, data extraction)
Writing custom scripts for your firm's specific workflows
Applying Python automation to real MEP/BIM projects

Does math seem abstract to you? Do physics formulas confuse you? Does your code not do what you want it to?

Derivatives, equations, vectors, algorithms... Behind these intimidating concepts lie simple, visual ideas. My goal: to help you understand them, not just apply them.

These subjects rely on tools: equations, functions, forces, data structures, that may seem difficult at first glance but make perfect sense once you visualize them concretely. That’s the level I’ll help you reach, using diagrams, analogies, and interactive animations.

I offer tutoring in Math, Physics, and Computer Science, from middle school through college, to help you:
- overcome roadblocks and regain confidence in these subjects,
- prepare for exams (middle school exams, high school graduation exams, midterms, entrance exams),
- make progress on your projects (homework, lab reports, coding, digital projects, etc.).

Each lesson is tailored to your needs: we’ll go over difficult concepts, work through exercises together, and I’ll teach you strategies to become self-sufficient.

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