The Practical Introduction to Computer Programming

This class will empower the student to build simple computer programs that can make a difference in their day to day life. You could learn to build an online portfolio for your artwork, a money management tool for your business, or an application for a school project.

I specialise in operating a flipped classroom, where I use class time to answer the student's questions and guide them through their projects. This means that you pay for help with the tricky bits, and you're given learning materials to help you digest all the information in your own time.

Extra information

The student will need to have their own computer, and a stable internet connection. Any level of prior experience is welcome.

Statistics, Data Analytics, Machine Learning and AI in Switzerland – Professional support from theory to practice
For many years, I have successfully supported Swiss students in the fields of statistics, data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. I have gained extensive experience using R as a statistical programming tool and know exactly what students in Switzerland are required to do. I have numerous sample projects, datasets, and exam questions at my disposal and have prepared many students for their assignments and exams in a targeted, sustainable, and highly successful manner. My focus is on explaining complex statistical procedures, algorithms, and data analyses in an understandable way, demonstrating them in a practical way, and building confidence in the secure handling of data. My goal is not only to improve grades, but also, in the long term, to develop a deep understanding of data-driven questions and modern technologies such as machine learning and AI, which are crucial in later professional life. ► How do I teach? ►I attach great importance to ensuring that my students truly understand statistical concepts, data analytics methods, machine learning, and AI models, rather than just applying them mechanically – this is how we achieve sustainable success in statistics, data analytics, and modern technologies. ►My success is based on my ability to flexibly adapt my teaching style to the individual needs of students in statistics, data analytics, machine learning and AI, including topics such as regression methods, logistic regression and other machine learning algorithms. ►I use practical, lively examples from statistics, data science and AI to clearly explain abstract concepts such as hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, linear and nonlinear models and to anchor them deeply in the memory. ►With patience and clarity, I break down complex statistical analyses, machine learning models, and data processes into their essential components so that no student is overwhelmed and can build a solid foundation in statistics, data analytics, and AI. ►I am convinced that trusting collaboration is crucial to reducing uncertainty in statistics or data science and creating a productive learning atmosphere. ►I offer intensive exam preparation and project support in statistics, data analytics, machine learning and AI, develop strategies to combat exam anxiety with my students and train them on real data sets and complex algorithms. ►As an experienced online tutor for statistics, data analytics, machine learning, and AI, I use modern tools such as interactive whiteboards and live coding sessions in R to make teaching as efficient and practice-oriented as possible. ►Locations: I teach statistics, data analytics, machine learning, and AI at your home, online, or by appointment – flexible, professional, and tailored precisely to your needs.

Martial
Graduate teacher gives courses in Physics & Chemistry, Mathematics, many years of experience.
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 go to the student's home or also take the course via Skype.
