Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

If you need expert support in your creative writing, whether it's turning that idea into the screenplay you've always dreamed of, or improving your confidence in your writing voice, this class is perfect for you.

Each class will be tailored to you and your needs, so that you are both supported and challenged.

You are in good hands! I have a Diploma in Script Development from the National Film and Television School, one of the top five international films schools.

Creative Writing is a subject for those with imagination, talent, and a passion for literature, film and television, poetry and so much more. Whichever pathway you wish to discover, this class will give you the necessary skills to develop and explore different styles of writing, giving you an example of industry-standard work.

This class can help you work towards English Language/Literature/Creative Writing qualifications at many different levels, hopefully inspiring you to pursue a university education or career in this field. However, if you simply wish to explore your talent in fiction writing, I can provide insight into the industry and university level education of this subject.

During my training, I learned to develop video games with Unity software. In the years that followed, I perfected my knowledge by participating in game jams and presenting my games at independent developer events. The most important thing I learned was how to find the information you need online. So I will teach you how to develop it yourself, without my help.

During this course you will learn to:
- Code in C# in Unity
- Create 2D game levels
- Create 2D sprites in the game and design tilemaps
- Create a game interface (menu, life points, credits etc...)
- Export your games to Android, iOs and desktop and WebGl to play in the browser

I will also support you in your gameplay ideas

Hi! I'm someone who loves learning and talking about culture, and I offer casual tutoring sessions for anyone who wants to explore the world of film, art, music, and history in an enjoyable and relaxed way.

If you're curious about cinema beyond the latest blockbusters, we can dive into art house films and discover directors like Ingmar Bergman, Kurosawa, Haneke, Andrei Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Agnès Varda, Jean-Luc Godard, David Lynch, or Wong Kar-wai. Whether you're just getting started or already a film lover, we can discuss storytelling, symbolism, cinematography, and the ideas behind great movies.

Art is another passion of mine. We can explore the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Francisco Goya, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo, Edward Hopper, and many others. Together, we'll look at different artistic movements, from the Renaissance to Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, and contemporary art.

. If classical music interests you, we can explore the masterpieces of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, and Stravinsky, learning how their music shaped history and still influences artists today.

History connects everything. From Ancient Greece and Rome to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the French Revolution, World War I and II, the Cold War, and modern global events, we can explore the people, ideas, and moments that changed the world.

My tutoring style is friendly, interactive, and based on conversation rather than memorization. I believe learning should be enjoyable, inspiring, and adapted to your interests. Whether you're preparing for school, improving your English through cultural topics, or simply expanding your knowledge for fun, I'm happy to help.

No pressure, no boring lectures, just interesting conversations, great recommendations, and the chance to discover some of the most fascinating works of human creativity together.

For those who want to work in Game Development or improve their skills with Unreal Engine. The course is aimed at creating a single game mechanic and has a majority of lessons related to visual programming. Visual programming allows you to create game mechanics without programming knowledge.
Only basic understandment of how algorythms works and a high-end PC needed!

During the course, a student can choose lesson topics depends from current needs and in the end create full prototype of the game mechanic, that can be a base for the game or a strong portfolio asset.

Tu aimerais créer ton propre jeu vidéo et découvrir comment les jeux sont programmés ? Je peux t’accompagner dans tes premiers pas avec Unity et la programmation en C# !

Je suis diplômée d’un baccalauréat en génie logiciel de Polytechnique Montréal et je donne des cours particuliers depuis quatre ans. Je peux t’aider à découvrir progressivement les différentes étapes de la création d’un jeu, en m’adaptant à ton niveau et à tes objectifs.

Au fil des séances, nous pourrons notamment découvrir :

- L’environnement Unity et les bases de la création d’un jeu
- La création et l’organisation d’une scène
- La création et le déplacement d’un personnage
- Les collisions et les interactions entre les objets
- Les bases de la programmation en C#
- Les variables, conditions, boucles, fonctions et autres concepts de programmation
- L’intégration de sprites, d’éléments graphiques et d’animations
- Le débogage et la résolution de problèmes
- La création d’un petit projet de jeu de A à Z

Aucune expérience préalable avec Unity ou la programmation n’est nécessaire. Nous pouvons commencer tranquillement avec les notions de base et avancer progressivement vers des fonctionnalités plus complexes.

Le cours peut également être adapté à un projet personnel : si tu as déjà une idée de jeu que tu aimerais réaliser, nous pouvons l’utiliser comme point de départ pour apprendre les différentes notions.

L’objectif est avant tout d’apprendre en créant, de comprendre comment fonctionne un jeu vidéo et de développer progressivement son autonomie en programmation.
