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?"

After an initial assessment, this course is designed to transform your child from a passive consumer of technology into an active, ethical AI creator.

Based on the personalized roadmap developed in the first session, the 5-week program delivers structured, project-based learning tailored to your child's cognitive strengths and interests, specifically addressing any learning barriers identified during the diagnostic phase.

What we achieve in 5 weeks:

Week 1-2: Foundations of Machine Learning & Critical Thinking: We move beyond definitions, using interactive projects to understand how AI learns (data, bias, pattern recognition). This builds critical thinking about the technology they use daily.

Week 3-4: Ethical Generative AI for Creativity: Students learn to master prompt engineering to create digital art, stories, or game concepts using generative AI tools. Safety and Ethics are paramount: we focus on responsible usage, digital citizenship, and copyright basics.

Week 5: The Final AI Creator Project: personalized mini-project (e.g., training a simple image classifier or writing a fully co-authored AI story) to demonstrate autonomy and mastery of the core concepts.

As your specialized 10+ year tech educator and coach, I ensure:

SEN Integration: Continuous adaptation of project requirements and delivery methods to ensure students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) maintain confidence and measurable progress.

Skill Transfer: We teach skills that translate directly to school projects, not just AI theory, but advanced digital literacy and structured problem-solving.

Are you intrigued by the world of cybersecurity? This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of web penetration testing in an accessible, straightforward, and guided way. You don't need advanced knowledge of networks or systems; we'll cover everything gradually and adapt it to your level. All you need is a desire to discover how internet security really works.

During our sessions, we will move from essential theory to practice. Together we will cover:

- Web Fundamentals: How browsers and servers communicate (HTTP/HTTPS protocols, request and response structure).
- Reconnaissance phase: techniques for gathering information about a target before analyzing it.
- We will understand and exploit common security flaws in a fully controlled manner (SQL Injections, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), authentication problems...).
- Industry tools used by real auditors (Burp Suite, Nmap, Ffuf...).
- We will not only attack, but we will also look at the logic behind how these flaws are mitigated to protect the applications.

The course is essentially aimed at computer enthusiasts with no prior experience in cybersecurity, as well as web developers looking to understand attacks in order to write more secure code, or even vocational or university students who need a more practical approach.

My approach, as I mentioned, is 100% practical and adapted to your learning pace. All the practice is conducted within an ethical framework, using controlled testing environments, virtual machines, and laboratories, completely within the bounds of the law.

We'll start by tackling small challenges together, and as you gain confidence, I'll guide you to audit intentionally vulnerable applications on your own.

A personalized programming course for all levels, from complete beginner to advanced. The goal is simple: to empower you to truly code by understanding what you're doing. Whether you come with no experience, are preparing for an exam, or are in engineering school, this course adapts to your situation. We teach the fundamentals of programming by applying them to concrete problems that motivate you: creating a program, debugging code, building a small project. No abstract theory at first, but real learning through practice.

I don't start by explaining things, but by presenting you with a concrete problem to solve. As you solve it, you naturally discover the theoretical concepts because they become necessary and logical. During each lesson, you code live while I guide you with strategic questions; I never give you the answers on a silver platter. I regularly check your understanding and adjust the pace according to your progress. We use the language best suited to your goals: Python for beginners or for clarity in algorithms, JavaScript for web development, and Java/C++ for advanced concepts.

You'll learn solid fundamentals: variables, loops, conditionals, functions, and debugging. Depending on your level, we'll delve deeper into data structures, object-oriented programming, advanced algorithms, and complexity analysis. There's no set timeframe: we progress at your own pace, working on projects that truly interest you. My commitment: personalized attention, genuine adaptation to your goals, professionalism, and a real passion for helping you succeed in programming.
