Private Computer Science Lessons for Kids | ECDL Preparation

41.64 C$ /h

I offer private online lessons in Computer Science and Technology for elementary and middle school students.

My goal is to help students truly understand how technology works, not just memorize it. Lessons are adapted to each student’s level — whether they are beginners or want to improve their skills.

I also provide preparation for ECDL exams (Computer Essentials, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

I create a friendly and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. My lessons are structured but also engaging, so students can enjoy the process while making real progress.

Talking about Computers, it is a very interesting subject. As technology is advancing at a rapid pace, we rely more and more on computers for everything from playing games to organizing our taxes. An understanding of computer basics is compulsory nowadays.
I have a Master's Degree in Computer Science and this course is designed according to your level of understanding of computers. We'll be practically doing things on Computers and see the things happening over there.

Starting from Computer basics which includes computer knowledge of Operating system, hardware-software components, internet, World Wide Web(WWW), different web browsers, and other basic functionalities of a computer system. Then moving on to basic knowledge of word processing, spreadsheets and preparing professional presentations (Ms. Word, Ms. Excel, Ms. Powerpoint) and creating simple web pages through HTML. Apart from this if you wish, we can move to the advanced level of each of them. I'll be teaching you in a very simple way so that you grab the concepts easily.
Let's start and do something innovative.

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?"

This course is designed for high school students who want to develop their computer skills, whether to start or deepen their knowledge. As a software engineering student at INSAT, I have a versatile background in computer science and a mastery of languages such as Python, Java, C, C++, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, and CSS.

We will cover the basics (office automation, programming) up to more advanced concepts corresponding to the Tunisian baccalaureate computer science program. I offer theoretical courses to fully understand the fundamental concepts, but I favor a practical approach for better assimilation.

Thanks to my past experience helping my classmates in high school, I know how to adapt my explanations according to the needs and pace of the student. Together, we will move towards your goals, whether it is to pass your exams or simply discover the world of IT.

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?

This course is designed especially for adults, seniors, and beginners who want to learn how to use AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or NotebookLM in a simple, safe, and practical way. No technical experience is required.

I use AI tools confidently in my own work and daily life, and I also have personal experience explaining technology step by step to people who are less familiar with digital tools. I understand the typical challenges and know how to guide you in a clear, patient, and accessible way.

In our lessons, I will guide you step by step so you can start using AI and digital tools comfortably and independently.

We will focus on practical applications such as:
• Using AI for everyday tasks and information search
• Writing emails, texts, and documents with AI
• Summarizing and understanding information
• Creating simple content (ideas, social media, basic websites)
• Using AI for productivity, business, and daily organization
• Language learning with AI tools

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.
