Training for beginners: Introduction to programming in C

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 49 C$ /h

Do you want to learn to program but don't know where to start? This course is for you.

In your courses with me, you'll learn C, a programming language that will help you truly understand the fundamentals of how a computer works and the basic structures that underpin programming languages. Learning C will give you a deep understanding that will later allow you to learn other high-level languages more easily.

And because theory alone can be quite boring, with me you'll learn by doing small projects that will lay the foundation for more complex projects. The idea is that the classes will serve to introduce some theory and answer your questions.

What will you learn?
* C Syntax
* Variables and their types
* Conditional structures
* Loops
* Arrays
* Understanding pointer logic
* Structures and lists
* The compiler
* The terminal
* Basic structure of a C project
* GDB: How to debug your programs

Extra information

You'll need a computer running Linux or Mac. If you have Windows, I'll show you how to install WSL so you can use UNIX system commands.

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.

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.

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?

Spending hours every month cleaning the same Excel reports? Or preparing for the PL-300 (Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst) exam and not sure where to start? I teach working professionals and career changers how to use Power BI and Excel the way they're used at work, step by step and in plain language.

What you'll learn (tailored to your goal):
• Power Query: clean messy data (extra spaces, wrong data types, duplicates, text numbers) and set it up so next month is just "Refresh"
• Data modelling: star schema, relationships and a proper Date table
• DAX: measures, CALCULATE and time intelligence, explained so you understand why, not just copy formulas
• Dashboards: clear visuals, slicers, drill-down and Actual vs Target reports
• Power BI Service: publishing, refresh and sharing
• PL-300 exam practice: exam-style questions with explanations

How I teach:
I explain each idea before we click, then we build it together on a realistic dataset, and then you try it yourself. You get clear notes after each lesson. If you bring your own work file (with sensitive data removed), we can use it so you solve your real problem.

About me: Data Science Master's student and BI analyst. I built Power BI and Excel reporting for companies, and recently automated a finance team's monthly SAP report with Power Query so it now updates with one click.
