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?

Technology is everywhere, and understanding how it works and how to protect it can open doors to exciting opportunities. I’ve designed this course as a hands-on journey into networking, programming, and cybersecurity, where you don’t just learn theory, you practice real skills that matter in the digital world.

In this course, I’ll guide you through building and analyzing networks, writing programs with Python and other languages, and exploring how systems communicate and interact. You’ll dive into cybersecurity fundamentals, learn to identify vulnerabilities, understand how attacks happen, and practice defending systems like a pro.

Through interactive exercises, practical examples, and real-world scenarios, I’ll show you how hackers think, how organizations respond to threats, and how to secure systems effectively.

By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence, knowledge, and hands-on experience to tackle networking, programming, and security challenges and apply these skills in your studies, career, or personal projects.

Having graduated with a Master's degree in Computer Science and Management (MIAGE) and with nearly three years of professional experience in data and IT at Orange Caraïbes, I offer private lessons tailored to the level and objectives of each student.

I can assist you with general IT, Python, SQL, data analysis, Excel, Power BI, programming, databases, and the use of digital tools.

The courses can also be geared towards homework help, preparation for a school or university project, introduction to programming or development of professional skills.

Having also taught at a secondary school, I place great importance on pedagogy and understanding. My goal is to explain concepts in a simple, progressive, and concrete way, with exercises adapted to your level.

Lessons are offered in French or English, primarily for teenagers and adults, from beginner to advanced levels. I travel to the student's home in Brussels and the surrounding area, with content tailored to their level, goals, and pace.

Do you sometimes feel that ChatGPT should be useful, but somehow it just doesn't understand what you want?

The problem often isn't the AI — it's the way we communicate with it.

In this practical 30-minute session, I'll show you a few simple techniques that dramatically improve the answers you get from tools such as ChatGPT. No technical knowledge and no complicated “magic prompts” are required.

You'll learn how to give AI enough context, explain what you actually want, improve a poor answer instead of starting again, and reduce the chance of receiving confidently incorrect information.

We'll work through real examples together, so you can immediately apply the techniques to your own work or everyday life.

After 30 minutes, you should be able to get more useful, reliable and relevant answers from AI — and understand what to do when it gets things wrong.
