Your First Steps into AI - Practical Guidance for Complete Beginners

From 89 C$ /h

AI is everywhere, but knowing that does not make it easy to begin. Many people feel overwhelmed, uncertain, resistant, or worried that they are already behind.

These lessons are designed for complete beginners who want a calm and supportive way to enter the world of AI.

I will help you understand how to approach AI, what it can realistically do for you, and how to begin using it without feeling intimidated. We will work at your pace, using real examples from your work, daily life, interests, or personal goals.

The focus is not only on learning the technology. It is also about building confidence, reducing hesitation, and helping you feel comfortable experimenting independently.

Depending on your needs, we can explore:

how to start a conversation with an AI tool
how to turn unclear thoughts into useful requests
how to recognize where AI can genuinely help
how to improve disappointing or inaccurate answers
how to verify information and avoid common mistakes
how to use AI safely without sharing sensitive information
how to choose between different AI tools without becoming overwhelmed
how to develop your own comfortable and practical way of using AI

No technical knowledge or programming experience is required. The goal is for you to leave the lesson feeling more confident, curious, and capable of continuing on your own.

Extra information

Please have access to a laptop or desktop computer. Before the lesson, think of one or two real tasks you would like AI to help you with. No technical knowledge, programming experience, paid subscription, or previous AI experience is required. We can choose and set up a suitable AI tool together during the lesson.

About Me

I help people take their first steps into AI in a calm, practical, and supportive way.

My teaching style is patient, personal, and focused on reducing confusion and resistance. I do not expect students to arrive with technical knowledge or confidence. We begin with their real questions, concerns, and goals, then explore AI together at a comfortable pace.

I especially enjoy helping people who feel overwhelmed, unsure where to begin, or worried that they are already behind. My goal is not only to explain the tools, but to help students feel capable of experimenting and continuing independently after the lesson.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Sciences
Diploma in Network Communications and Cybersecurity
Ongoing professional development in generative AI, AI-assisted workflows, automation, and practical use of large language models.

Experience / Qualifications

I work as an Enterprise Support Engineer in the technology industry and regularly use AI tools for research, analysis, communication, troubleshooting, and workflow design.

My background combines behavioral sciences with network communications and cybersecurity, which helps me support both the human and technical sides of AI adoption.

I have practical experience with tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, as well as building AI-assisted workflows and personal projects. My strength is helping people reduce hesitation, understand how to approach AI, choose suitable tools, ask useful questions, evaluate responses, protect sensitive information, and become confident using AI in everyday life and work.

I offer one-to-one Machine Learning and AI tuition for university students, postgraduates, working professionals, and serious self-learners. Lessons are available online or in person around Birmingham.
What I cover:

Python for data science and ML (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn)
Deep learning with TensorFlow and Keras
Core ML concepts: regression, classification, clustering, neural networks, CNNs
Computer vision and image classification (my published research area)
University coursework support, dissertation help, project guidance
Help with Kaggle competitions and personal portfolio projects

How I teach:
I focus on understanding, not memorisation. We work through real datasets and real problems — not toy examples — so you can actually apply what you learn. I'll help you build a model from scratch, debug it when it doesn't work, and explain the maths behind why it does or doesn't perform well. For university students, I can also help with assignments, dissertations, and final-year projects.
Whether you're just starting out, stuck on a coursework project, or trying to break into ML professionally, I can meet you wherever you are and help you move forward.

It is aimed at people who want to start from scratch or improve their level of using Excel in their work, studies or personal projects.

In classes you will learn to:

Master Excel from basic to intermediate/advanced level
Use key formulas such as SUM, IF, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP
Create pivot tables to analyze information
Clean and organize data efficiently
Design clear reports and basic dashboards
Applying Excel to real-world business cases

The classes are personalized according to your level and goals. We can work with your own files or with practical exercises that simulate real-life situations.

My approach is for you to learn quickly, understand what you're doing, and be able to apply it immediately.

I'm an Electronics Engineer with experience in data analysis and marketing analytics. I've worked with tools like Excel, Power BI, and RapidMiner on real-world projects, so I can teach you not only "how" but also "why" to use Excel in the workplace.

Are you intrigued by the world of cybersecurity? This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of web penetration testing in an accessible, straightforward, and guided way. You don't need advanced knowledge of networks or systems; we'll cover everything gradually and adapt it to your level. All you need is a desire to discover how internet security really works.

During our sessions, we will move from essential theory to practice. Together we will cover:

- Web Fundamentals: How browsers and servers communicate (HTTP/HTTPS protocols, request and response structure).
- Reconnaissance phase: techniques for gathering information about a target before analyzing it.
- We will understand and exploit common security flaws in a fully controlled manner (SQL Injections, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), authentication problems...).
- Industry tools used by real auditors (Burp Suite, Nmap, Ffuf...).
- We will not only attack, but we will also look at the logic behind how these flaws are mitigated to protect the applications.

The course is essentially aimed at computer enthusiasts with no prior experience in cybersecurity, as well as web developers looking to understand attacks in order to write more secure code, or even vocational or university students who need a more practical approach.

My approach, as I mentioned, is 100% practical and adapted to your learning pace. All the practice is conducted within an ethical framework, using controlled testing environments, virtual machines, and laboratories, completely within the bounds of the law.

We'll start by tackling small challenges together, and as you gain confidence, I'll guide you to audit intentionally vulnerable applications on your own.
