Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

Are you a university student, engineer, or professional who needs to actually use data — not just learn theory about it?
This course is built around real problems and real code. We skip the textbook formulas and go straight to applying statistics and data science the way professionals do: with Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib) and R (RStudio).
What we cover, adapted to your level and goals:
- Descriptive and inferential statistics (the ones that actually matter)
- Data cleaning, exploration, and visualization
- Regression, classification, and intro to machine learning
- Time series and forecasting basics
- R for statistical analysis and academic research

Who this is for:
- University students in statistics, economics, engineering, or biology
- Professionals wanting to move into data analysis or data science
- Researchers who need to process and present data properly

I use Python and R professionally as a working engineer — everything I teach comes from real application, not just academic exercises.

Experienced and patient teacher of logic for computer science.

I have taught logic, formal languages and automata theory to undergraduates for six years. My tutoring is adapted to the student's level and goals. Whether you need to learn logic for your studies, or you would simply like to know more about the subject, I will be more than happy to help you improve your understanding and skills.

Logic
The sciences presuppose a certain standard of rationality. An ability to distinguish between correct reasoning and claims that do not follow from the assumptions. In this class we study the basic principles of logic and apply mathematical techniques to the study thereof.
Topics include:
Propositional and Predicate Logic
Syntax and semantics
Natural deduction
Semantic tableaux
Correctness and soundness
Completeness

Formal languages and automata
A formal language is an abstraction of general characteristics of programming languages. Such a languages consists of a set of symbols together with some rules to determine whether a string made up out of those symbols is a member of the language.

Topics include:
Regular languages, context-free languages
Finite automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines
Regular expressions
Regular grammar, context-sensitive grammar
Pumping lemmas for regular and context-free languages

*Goal: To understand artificial intelligence without fear, use it to simplify life, and uncover digital traps.*

### **1: Demystifying Artificial Intelligence (What Exactly Is It?)**

* **Artificial intelligence is not a "movie robot":** The fundamental difference between science fiction and practical reality.
* **How it works (simply):** Imagine a "giant library"; AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the completion of a sentence or create a new image.
* **Where do we use it now?** The spell checker, Netflix and YouTube suggestions, GPS navigation, and voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa.

---

### **2: Using artificial intelligence to make your life easier**

* **Interacting with artificial intelligence (ChatGPT, Cloud, Gemini):**
* Writing formal emails or complex letters.
* Summarizing long articles or huge documents.
* Plan travel itineraries or create food recipes from ingredients available in the refrigerator.

* **Creativity and Memory:**
* Create creative images for greeting cards (via Midjourney or DALL-E).
Restoring and coloring old family photos.

3: The art of speaking to the machine (the Prompt skill)**

* **Context Style:** Why is the phrase "Give me a cake recipe" less effective than "I have a gluten allergy and I'm having 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".
* **Role-taking:** Learn to ask the artificial intelligence to "speak like a tourism expert" or "answer me like a specialized agricultural engineer."

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (A Survival Guide)**

Digital hallucinations:** Understand that artificial intelligence may confidently present false information (never rely on it for medical or legal advice without verification).
Privacy protection
Do not share sensitive data (ID numbers, passwords, bank details).
Be aware that everything you write may be used to train systems in the future.

Detecting deepfakes:**
How to identify fake photos or videos (examine hand details, strange reflections, or metallic sound).
* The golden rule: Verify by cross-referencing different sources.

5: Ethics and Impact (A Future Perspective)**

Copyright: Who owns the image created by artificial intelligence?
Environmental impact: Water and energy consumption in large data centers.
The future: Will artificial intelligence replace us or will it be an assistant to us?

Additional tip:** Since you are targeting the Gulf region, it is preferable to use terms such as "Digital Transformation" and "Innovation" at the beginning of your presentation, as they are very catchy words for decision-makers there.
