About Me
Passionate about sharing knowledge, I enjoy helping learners progress step by step and gain confidence in their skills. With a background in computer engineering and experience in technical support and customer relations, I combine rigor, teaching, and listening skills to clearly explain sometimes complex concepts. My goal: to make learning concrete, motivating, and adapted to each individual's pace.

Dear all,

My name is Sirine, I am 28 years old. I was a teacher (SVT) for one year in the private French school Lycée Français Victor Hugo in Frankfurt (Germany). Since this time, I continue to propose private lessons in French and science (physics, chemistry, biology, and geology) as well as school support for children and to a lesser extent adults.

I could support you principally in tutoring for your children, regularly or occasionally, online or at my place (your place if you are located in Outremont, Montreal). I would define myself as someone curious, creative and helpful. I really like traveling, discovering new cultures, new languages... I also like to understand everything around me, communicate and learn about the others and children especially. I try all the time do my best to adapt my methodology to the child, I have also many supports and materials that I can use.

Regarding my language skills, I m French native speaker, and I'm fluent in English.

Finally, I hope to be able to meet your expectations as a future tutor, and above all, that we will have the opportunity to share a good time together!

Python is the most in-demand programming language in the world right now — and one of the easiest to learn with the right guidance.
Whether you've never written a line of code or you're a student who needs to pass a programming course, this is a practical, no-fluff introduction that gets you writing real code from session one.
What we can cover depending on your goals:

Python fundamentals: variables, loops, functions, data structures
- Object-oriented programming (OOP)
- Data manipulation with pandas and NumPy
- Introduction to machine learning with scikit-learn
- Database management with SQL
- C and Java upon request
- MATLAB and R available for engineering/science students

Why learn with me?
I'm not a student teaching on the side — I'm a professional engineer who uses Python daily for data analysis, modeling, and automation. I know exactly which concepts matter in the real world and which ones you can skip for now.
Sessions are 100% personalized: I adapt the pace, the examples, and the exercises to your background and your goal — whether that's passing your university exam, building a project, or landing a job.

I give science lessons for all levels. I have already given courses in an agency (Completeness) from the 6th to post-baccalaureate.
I am currently a master's student in information technology at ETS and McGill.

I think I am close to young people and I have a good pedagogy. I also regularly help my brother and my sister who are respectively in 4th and 1st.
As part of my lessons, I ask the student in advance what concept he needs to work on.
Then, I start the lesson by asking the student what he learned from his lesson, what he understood, what he didn't understand.
Then, we resume the course together and then we move on to the exercises. At first we redo the exercises already done, then I invent similar exercises.

I can teach at home or in my apartment.

I offer Spanish conversation workshops, tailored to your needs.

With around ten years of experience, I enjoy supporting people, whether in individual sessions or in small groups, who wish to improve their communication in Spanish, particularly for trips to Spanish-speaking countries.

Most of my clients share similar interests: artists, scientists, social workers, students, activists, and advocates. This generally makes learning enjoyable and enriching.

I also have 8 years of experience assisting teachers in pedagogy, science and sociology with the translation of academic texts and articles from English and French into Spanish.

What I offer you:
- Personalized conversation dialogues, centered on real travel situations.
- Developing conversation topics based on your interests and the places you want to visit.
- Assistance in creating vocabulary sheets adapted to your needs.
- A non-directive and creative approach, aimed at maintaining your interest and facilitating your learning. I offer personalized scenarios and role-plays, based on real-life conversations.
- Historical and cultural references to enrich your knowledge.

For your information, I have also worked as a private tour guide in Mexico, specializing in archaeological sites and the ancestral knowledge of the First Nations, particularly in the south-central region of the country, which has a great ancestral cultural and culinary diversity. For example, the Cd de México route, Puebla, Oaxaca

Meeting places:
I can meet you near the Joliette metro station, or come to your home or a café, depending on your preference.

Would you be interested in a first session?

I offer personalized teaching adapted to the needs of the student. I can help him understand his course in a formal as well as intuitive way, teach him the methods of solving classic exercises and of course answer all his questions.

I can give lessons up to the Baccalaureate level in Canada and to the Prep level (or equivalent) in France.

The monitoring is continuous, even outside of scheduled courses if necessary. In addition, I can provide in-depth study of the course and exercises for an exam (baccalaureate, post-baccalaureate competition, entrance exam for the grandes écoles) or for the student's further studies. As a former student in preparatory classes - intensive training to gain access to the greatest French schools - at the Lycée Louis Le Grand, I have a certain range of recent exercises and courses. My experience close to the competitions, preparatory classes and high school allows me to be well aware of current exam expectations and to give advice to optimize revision.

Having graduated with a master's degree in industrial engineering, with a major in computer science at Polytechnique Montréal, I would like to give math and/or computer science courses to students in a university program, at CEGEP or at secondary school.
During my studies at Polytechnique Montréal, I gave classroom lessons, practical work (around 50 people), as well as mathematics reinforcement for all types of profiles (individual help).
I also have previous private tutoring experience.

It is always a real pleasure for me to witness the success of the students and to see their progress session after session.
I insist on stimulating students' thinking so that they are as effective as possible during their exams.

It would be a pleasure to have a first meeting!

B- PERSONALIZED TUTORING: LEARNING HOW TO REASON
Machine learning and artificial intelligence become much more accessible when mathematics, algorithms, Python code, data, and real-world applications are clearly connected.

My lessons help you move beyond simply copying code or using models as “black boxes.” You will learn how to define the problem correctly, prepare the data, select an appropriate algorithm, understand how it works, train and evaluate the model, diagnose errors, improve performance, and interpret results rigorously and responsibly.

Each lesson is personalized according to your current level, mathematical background, programming experience, dataset, university work, research project, interview preparation, or professional objective. We begin by identifying your existing knowledge, software environment, expected outcomes, and main conceptual or technical difficulties. We then establish a structured learning plan.

The first lesson combines a discussion of your background, objectives, and tutoring needs; an initial assessment of your current knowledge; personalized planning and organization of future sessions; and a short trial lesson to determine the most effective learning approach.

A typical session may include conceptual explanation, development of mathematical intuition, live coding, guided implementation, model evaluation, technical problem solving, and a concise summary of the next steps.

You may work with your own dataset, university assignment, research project, or professional problem, provided that confidential information is handled appropriately. I can also provide structured examples and datasets suited to your level.

My goal is not simply to help you run an algorithm. It is to help you understand why it is appropriate, how it learns from data, how to evaluate it correctly, why it may fail, and how to build a reliable, interpretable, and scientifically rigorous solution.
