Learn to use your computer (Computer basics)

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 27 C$ /h

Having grown up with computers, telephones and other consoles, new technologies are part of my daily life. Using a computer seems easy as pie! However, my grandparents constantly call me to help them print a document, save a document online or do not understand the web page displayed in front of them, etc. So I realized that this which seemed obvious to me, was not necessarily obvious to someone who did not grow up with these technologies or simply had the opportunity to use computers.

So I thought my skills could be useful to more people who feel overwhelmed by these technologies.
We are going to review everything, from the beginning, there are no bad questions, no stupid mistakes, I am ready to start from scratch.

If you feel that now is the time to understand how a device works which is, today, very useful or even essential, but which gives rise to a feeling of discomfort and stress in you, then you are in the right place!

The courses will be organized lesson by session:
-First lesson, I assess your level (no pressure, everyone starts somewhere, whether it's 0 or 2)
- Each session begins with what was learned in the previous lesson, reminder of what was forgotten, correction of errors and exercise done by the student
-After the short test at the start of the session, we start the new course on a different concept or one that deepens the session before. (eg: safe sites (the most well-known), how not to be fooled by booby-trapped pages (virus), send emails, email signatures, print a document, manage files in "my documents", etc...)
-End of session summary

I look forward to seeing many of you during these times of confinement.
Take care of yourself and take advantage of this free time to simply acquire new skills! :)

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?"

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?

I specialize in tutoring programming, data structures, and computer organization for university students and enthusiastic beginners. Drawing from my daily work as a backend software engineer, my goal is to help you understand not just how to write code, but how the computer actually executes it. We will cover programming fundamentals in languages like C, C++, or Python, while exploring CPU architecture and memory management under the hood. We will also dive deeply into data structures such as linked lists, binary trees, and hash tables where my focus is ensuring you grasp the core theory and logic behind them, not just the code implementations. Having previously tutored mathematics, I know how to break down complex technical topics so you stay challenged but never overwhelmed. I assign hands-on coding exercises during and after every lesson to ensure you build practical, real-world engineering skills.
