The Practical Introduction to Computer Programming

From 25 C$ /h

This class will empower the student to build simple computer programs that can make a difference in their day to day life. You could learn to build an online portfolio for your artwork, a money management tool for your business, or an application for a school project.

I specialise in operating a flipped classroom, where I use class time to answer the student's questions and guide them through their projects. This means that you pay for help with the tricky bits, and you're given learning materials to help you digest all the information in your own time.

Extra information

The student will need to have their own computer, and a stable internet connection. Any level of prior experience is welcome.

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’ve ever felt that science and math are difficult, it’s probably because no one showed you how to think like a problem solver.
In my classes, you’ll learn not just formulas or code but how to truly understand concepts, apply them, and build strong logical intuition.

I teach:
• 🔢 Mathematics: From algebra and calculus to applied problem-solving for real-world use.
• 💻 Computer Science: Coding fundamentals (Python, C++), algorithms, and logical thinking for beginners and intermediate learners.
• ⚛️ Physics: Mechanics, thermodynamics, and practical examples that make abstract ideas simple and visual.

As a Software Engineer and Master’s student in Engineering at Nagoya University, I bring both academic knowledge and hands-on experience from real projects. My teaching approach is interactive, visual, and deeply focused on understanding over memorization.

Let’s turn complex problems into clear, step-by-step insights — and make learning something you genuinely enjoy.

👨‍🎓 With 5 years of experience in distance and in-person teaching, I am a mathematics teacher specializing in tutoring and private lessons. I also teach physics, chemistry, and science subjects in general.

I hold a Master's degree in Operations Research (Applied Mathematics) and I have been teaching private lessons for over 5 years, mainly mathematics for middle and high school levels.

✏ I have taught students from different schools, whether public, private, following the French program (mission), Belgian, Swiss, Spanish (students from French-speaking or English-speaking Spanish schools) or American. In summary, all French or English programs.

✏ I support students from A to Z in all stages of their learning, using a simple, new generation and effective methodology: explanation of lessons, summary of lessons, application and deepening exercises, etc.

✏ I also prepare students for exams and competitions.

✏ I also support students with their homework (homework help).

✏ All my students have made extraordinary progress and achieved their goals, with grades of 16, 17, 18 or 19 out of 20.

Sessions usually take place as follows:

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly intended to assess the level of the student in order to determine the shortcomings noted.

2️⃣ Then we make a plan to fill those gaps: number of hours of work required, parts of the lessons to focus on, lots of training and development exercises, etc.

3️⃣ We make sure to stay up to date with the student's class teacher to track their progress and align our work with what is being taught in class.

4️⃣ Then I provide exams similar to what may be offered in class.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a monthly report to keep parents informed of their child's level throughout the course.

I also adapt my methodology according to the needs of each student, which means that everyone has a personalized working method adapted to their needs!

I also offer crash courses for those preparing for the start of the school year, so that they start the year well prepared 💪 and with a head start on the program.🧠

💭 If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me ;)

I teach Python specifically for finance and data applications - the kind used in economics, business analytics, and quantitative programs. This isn't a general "learn to code" course; it's built around real financial data, benchmarking, and the workflows you'll actually use in coursework or early career work.

Topics include:
Python fundamentals through a finance lens (data structures, functions, control flow).
Working with financial data and datasets.
Performance benchmarking and writing efficient code.
Applying concepts from Hilpisch's Python for Finance.

I offer one-to-one Programming tuition in Python, C, and C++, for GCSE Computer Science, A-Level Computing, and university students studying engineering, computer science, or related subjects. Lessons are available online or in person around Birmingham.

What I cover:

Python for beginners and intermediate learners
C and C++ programming
GCSE and A-Level Computer Science (all exam boards)
University coursework support, debugging help, and project guidance
Core concepts: variables, loops, functions, data structures, object-oriented programming, file handling, basic algorithms

How I teach:
I start by understanding exactly where you are — whether that's "I've never coded before" or "I'm stuck on a specific assignment." Then I build lessons around small, practical examples you can actually run and modify yourself. I'm patient with errors (everyone gets them), and I make sure you understand the why behind the code, not just how to copy it. For university students, I can also help with debugging, code reviews, and explaining tricky concepts in plain English.
If you or your child is preparing for exams, working on coursework, or just wants to finally feel comfortable with coding, I'd love to help.

Do you want to learn Artificial Intelligence from scratch or do you need support with a subject, practice or project related to AI?

The classes are online, one-on-one, and fully tailored to your level and goals. We can work from the fundamentals to practical applications using Python, generative AI tools, language models, and APIs.

We can work on content such as:

fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence;
Python applied to AI and data processing;
data preparation, cleaning and analysis;
NumPy, pandas and data visualization;
Introduction to Machine Learning;
classification, regression and model evaluation;
Generative AI and Language Models (LLM);
use of ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI tools;
design and improvement of prompts;
consumption of AI model APIs;
task automation using AI;
AI integration in applications;
search and work with information and documents;
development of small projects and prototypes;
internships, projects and exam preparation.

The goal is not only to learn how to use AI tools, but to understand how they work, when to use them, and how to practically integrate them into your own projects.

We can start from scratch, work on the syllabus of your subject, or develop a specific application or project step by step.

In addition to the classes, you will have access to our educational platform with its own documentation, exercises, examples, practices and other resources to continue working between sessions.

Additional information for the student

You can bring your own syllabus, practical exercises, data, or project. We will adapt the classes to your prior knowledge and the objective you want to achieve.
