You have come to the right place, I can teach you in all areas of information technology.
Below you see several questions to which I can give you a clear and straightforward answer. I can explain this to you at any level and we can go deep where you want it. Is your question not listed? Let me know. There are simply too many questions to write here.

How does the internet work?
How does a computer network work?
What is a DHCP server and how does DNS work?

How do I keep my identity hidden online?
What are cookies?
What does my computer store?
How does the Wehkamp site know that I like those pants?

How does Excel work? and Word? and Powerpoint?
What is a router?
How does WiFi work and can my neighbor on my network?

Improve your French by following our online French courses. I teach courses and help organize foreign companies in matters of organization and fixed obligations such as monthly expenses and scheduling client appointments.

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?"

🎯 Master the art of dialogue with artificial intelligence,
💼 and unleash their full potential to serve your projects!

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?

Usage of AI is high- it’s become impossible to restrain. Don’t you think it’s threat to our privacy or taking away our creativity or using of AI becoming a tough choice? Let’s take our control before somebody else controls us. Challenge or a task- let’s decide it from the lessons.

Learn Arduino, robotics and electronics one to one with a qualified electronics engineer who teaches this at university level. Complete beginners through to degree students, online worldwide or in person in Birmingham, with a free 30 minute introduction before you book anything.

I'm Ghous. I hold an MSc in Electronics and Electrical Engineering with Distinction from the University of Chester, where I teach as a Visiting Lecturer on a Master's module, and I work as a freelance engineer designing circuit boards and writing embedded firmware for clients. I have taken a four layer ESP32 board from schematic to manufactured hardware, built the electrical power system for a CubeSat, and published two international conference papers on running neural networks on microcontrollers. When you ask why your sensor reads nothing or how to justify a design choice in a report, the answer comes from doing this work rather than from a tutorial.

Adults and hobbyists

If you own an Arduino kit and have stalled, or you can copy a project but cannot change it, this is the gap I close. We build what you actually want, home automation, data logging sensors, motorised builds, a device that talks to your phone, and underneath it you pick up the real skills: reading a datasheet, using a multimeter, wiring safely and debugging when nothing happens. No technical background required.

University and college students

Embedded systems, microcontrollers, robotics, control systems, circuit analysis and digital electronics. Arduino, ESP32, nRF52, PIC with MPLAB and STM32, plus Proteus, Multisim, Webots and PCB design in KiCAD. I also supervise final year and Master's projects from scoping through to the write up. I mark Level 7 work myself, so I know where reports lose marks. I teach students on UK, IB and continental European programmes and have worked with engineering students in Germany, so an unfamiliar syllabus is not a problem. Send me your course material and I will work from it.

School students, ages 9 to 18

Beginners who want to build something real, and students with coursework in Design and Technology, Computer Science or Engineering, whether on GCSE, A Level, IB or a national curriculum. Typical builds are a line following robot, an obstacle avoiding car, a live weather station or a motion triggered alarm. For lessons in Birmingham I bring all the equipment. Parents are welcome to sit in on the first session (UK DBS checked).

How lessons run

Tell me your level and what you want to build, or send your assignment brief, and I plan the session around it before we meet. I demonstrate first, then you take over while I guide, because nobody learns electronics by watching. Online students share a screen and I debug code and wiring photos live. Every session ends with something working and a clear next step, and you can message me between lessons.

Lessons run over Google Meet or Zoom, 60 or 90 minutes. I teach across GMT and Central European time with evening and weekend slots. Online students can start with any board they already own, or I will point you at one starter kit under 30 euros that covers the first several months.

Message me with your level and what you are trying to build and we will arrange the free 30 minutes.

What if you could think like a hacker, so you can stop one? Let's learn cybersecurity the real way.

I'm a cybersecurity engineer with 3 years of experience and 150+ penetration tests and vulnerability assessments for government, financial, and telecom organizations. I hold CRTP, eWPT, and eJPT certifications, and I'll teach you what actually works in the field. No boring theory dumps, just live, hands-on learning.

You'll learn:

How attackers think: the hacking process from recon to exploitation
Common web attacks like SQL injection and XSS, and how to stop them
Passwords, phishing, and social engineering: why people are the weakest link
Vulnerability scanning and ethical hacking basics with Nmap, Burp Suite, and Nessus
How defenders work: firewalls, SIEM, EDR, and incident response
How to protect yourself, your team, and your business

Perfect for: beginners, career changers, students, developers, IT staff, and anyone curious about ethical hacking or preparing for Security+, CEH, or eJPT.

You'll walk away with a clear understanding of real threats, the skills to spot and fix common vulnerabilities, and a solid foundation for a cybersecurity career.

No experience needed, just curiosity and a computer. Book your first session and let's dive in!

📊Microsoft Office: To establish your office skills, manage data via Excel, write professional reports with Word, and prepare impressive presentations with PowerPoint.

📐 AutoCAD: To learn engineering drawing and design two-dimensional and three-dimensional plans with high accuracy and speed.

🛣️ Civil 3D: To learn road design, network design, surveying, and quantity surveying in a scientific and practical way

Learn to use Canva from scratch, practically and at your own pace. I'm a psychologist and teacher, and I use Canva daily to create presentations, guides, training materials, and social media content with a strong visual identity.

In classes you will learn to:
• Navigating Canva: templates, elements, texts, photos, and colors.
• Create engaging presentations for school, university, or work.
• Design school projects, infographics, concept maps, and covers.
• Create posts, stories, and short videos for social media.
• Create a simple visual identity (colors, fonts and logo) for your project or business.
• Download, share, and present your designs.

For whom: children from 9 years old (accompanied by an adult if they prefer), teenagers, university students, teachers and entrepreneurs.

How the classes are: We work on a real project of yours from the very first session (a presentation, a paper, or your brand), so you leave each class with something finished. Classes are held via video call (Zoom or Google Meet) with screen sharing.

Lessons run over Google Meet or Zoom, 60 or 90 minutes. I teach across GMT and Central European time with evening and weekend slots. Online students can start with any board they already own, or I will point you at one starter kit under 30 euros that covers the first several months.

Message me with your level and what you are trying to build and we will arrange the free 30 minutes.

What if you could think like a hacker, so you can stop one? Let's learn cybersecurity the real way.

I'm a cybersecurity engineer with 3 years of experience and 150+ penetration tests and vulnerability assessments for government, financial, and telecom organizations. I hold CRTP, eWPT, and eJPT certifications, and I'll teach you what actually works in the field. No boring theory dumps, just live, hands-on learning.

You'll learn:

How attackers think: the hacking process from recon to exploitation
Common web attacks like SQL injection and XSS, and how to stop them
Passwords, phishing, and social engineering: why people are the weakest link
Vulnerability scanning and ethical hacking basics with Nmap, Burp Suite, and Nessus
How defenders work: firewalls, SIEM, EDR, and incident response
How to protect yourself, your team, and your business

Perfect for: beginners, career changers, students, developers, IT staff, and anyone curious about ethical hacking or preparing for Security+, CEH, or eJPT.

You'll walk away with a clear understanding of real threats, the skills to spot and fix common vulnerabilities, and a solid foundation for a cybersecurity career.

No experience needed, just curiosity and a computer. Book your first session and let's dive in!

Learn to use Canva from scratch, practically and at your own pace. I'm a psychologist and teacher, and I use Canva daily to create presentations, guides, training materials, and social media content with a strong visual identity.

In classes you will learn to:
• Navigating Canva: templates, elements, texts, photos, and colors.
• Create engaging presentations for school, university, or work.
• Design school projects, infographics, concept maps, and covers.
• Create posts, stories, and short videos for social media.
• Create a simple visual identity (colors, fonts and logo) for your project or business.
• Download, share, and present your designs.

For whom: children from 9 years old (accompanied by an adult if they prefer), teenagers, university students, teachers and entrepreneurs.

How the classes are: We work on a real project of yours from the very first session (a presentation, a paper, or your brand), so you leave each class with something finished. Classes are held via video call (Zoom or Google Meet) with screen sharing.

New to AI, or tried ChatGPT and didn't know what to ask? In these one-to-one lessons I show you, step by step, how to use ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for real things in your own life and work.

We work on your own phone or laptop, at your pace. In the first lesson we pick two or three tasks that eat your time and set the AI up to help with them.

Depending on what you need, we can cover:
- What AI is (and isn't), and what you should never share with it
- Writing and replying to emails, messages and documents
- Summarising long texts and finding information fast
- Planning your week, a trip or a budget
- Memory and instructions, so the AI knows how you like things done
- If you've moved to Portugal: understanding letters from Finanças, AIMA or Segurança Social, and replying in proper Portuguese
