Learn to program: Python, C, C++ and web with a 42-year-old student
course price icon
From 58 C$ /h
arrow icon
Whether you are a complete beginner or stuck on a project, this course adapts to your level and your goal: discovering programming, succeeding in your studies, preparing for a career change or entering School 42.

The method is inspired by the 42 pedagogy: little abstract theory, lots of practice. You code yourself during the course, I guide you to understand why your code works (or doesn't), and you leave with tailored exercises.

The program will be tailored to your needs:

the basics of programming (logic, algorithms, debugging)
Python (scripts, automation, NSI program)
C and C++ (pointers, memory, object-oriented programming)
Linux, the terminal, and Git
web development (TypeScript, React)
assistance with your projects and preparation for the 42-meter pool

A student at École 42 Paris after completing preparatory classes in science, I combine scientific rigor with a project-based approach. Patient and attentive, I adapt to your pace.
Extra information
Please bring a computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux). If you are working on a project, please bring your code and the project details. No prior experience is necessary for beginners.

About Me
I’m 28 and a student at École 42 Paris, after completing a scientific preparatory class (CPGE). Prépa gave me rigor: framing a problem clearly, reasoning step by step, checking every result. 42 taught me autonomy: learning by doing, figuring things out on my own, making mistakes and trying again.

I teach because I enjoy explaining complicated things simply, and because I know what it’s like to be stuck alone on a bug or an exercise. My goal isn’t to do the work for you, but to make you able to manage without me.

I’m a patient, attentive teacher, demanding without being rigid. I enjoy working with curious students of any level: the complete beginner who wants to understand how a program works, the high school student in computer science, the university student struggling with a project, or the adult changing careers.

I speak French and English. I love learning, and I think that helps me teach well.

Hello dear programmer,

HTML and CSS go hand in hand when it comes to creating websites programmatically.

I propose courses in detail of beginner level - intermediate or advanced. With existing site analysis and gradual explanation.

I myself was a beginner and I made sure to keep the vision that we can have when we start programming. This allows me to often answer questions to which some experts will provide a thorough and theoretical explanation and will remain misunderstood for some.

Answers to your questions!
Objective: YOU "Accompany and make you effective!"

Graduate teacher in Computer Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique. I have experience as a volunteer teacher in Paris (homework help for all subjects) and for 6 months in Cambodia as a teacher of English, French, maths and programming (python).

I would like my student to learn to see the beauty of maths and not a difficult subject! Maths can be easy for everyone, just do not be afraid :)

I teach classes for all ages. I also give Python programming classes for high school students.

Hi,

This course is for anyone who wants to know more about the net (what the Net does not tell you (its languages: HTML, these, JavaScript and others).

Classes will take place in Massy.
I am available Mondays and Thursdays from 10h to 12h.

See you soon, I hope ! :)

I base much more on the understanding of theoretical concepts before starting the examples since by understanding the concept we will be able to manage all types of questions that may arise.
Make several demonstrations with the whole class before asking the students to make comparisons on their own.
Keep in touch with the students after the sessions to give him help with his homework and do the maximum possible so that he will be able to improve in the way of thinking

Student in the research course in Computer Science Linguistics at the University of Paris, I have a background in literature through a license and in mathematics with a CPGE. My goal during private lessons is to explain the lessons with a different vision of a traditional teacher and to train the student not only for his homework and exams but also for the rest of his course.

First part, introduction to algorithms, up to a desired level for data management

Second part, application of algorithmic notions for vba applications and to acquire habits to face any situation and be autonomous in language without having to use objects. In this part, parallels can be made with other functional languages where programming languages are applied in a similar way (Python, PHP, Javascript ...)

Third part, introduction to the Excel data model (Collections, Objects, Methods). For this part, we forget the algos and we use the objects which reduce the number of lines of code. In this part, we will also discuss the macro recorder which can be very useful for this part.

Fourth part, approach an advanced level to manage files (create, modify, extract information), access databases ...

I follow more or less closely the famous book entitled Introduction to Algorithms authored by CLRS on the subject. The coverage is exhaustive as we go through various concepts related to data structures and algorithms, study standard algorithms such as for sorting, searching, finding max/min, handling trees and graphs, and then pursue in detail their application to real world problems.

I work upwards from first principles so the understanding is solid and transferrable to other domains. We work through problems together in a step by step manner before I encourage the student to tackle a problem autonomously so they get an idea of the problem solving process whilst also building their own framework to approach each problem.

In this class, you’ll embark on an exciting journey into the world of programming with Python. You’ll start by writing your very first Python program, gaining hands-on experience from the get-go. As you progress, you’ll delve into the core fundamentals of Python, including variables, data types, control structures, functions, and modules.

Passionate about computers and science, I went to the EFREI engineering school where I acquired a solid foundation in programming, mathematics and physics.
I offer computer language courses (Python, Java, HTML/CSS/JS, C, SQL), suitable for all levels: discovery of programming, skills strengthening or preparation for an exam/project.

My sessions are personalized: we will work together on logic, practical exercises, and concrete projects to progress effectively. My goal is to make programming accessible, clear, and motivating, even for beginners.

- Beginners: you will learn to write your first programs, understand fundamental concepts and develop projects adapted to your needs.

- Intermediate/advanced: you will be able to deepen your knowledge, strengthen your logic and broaden your vision of programming.
