Are you looking for efficiency, creativity and productivity in your daily tasks? Do not look any further. Microsoft Office is there to meet all your expectations.

Why choose Microsoft Office?

Create with Power: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and many other applications give you powerful tools to bring your ideas to life, whether it's for a professional document, a financial dashboard or a stunning presentation.

This course includes one or more of the following modules:
- Documents with Word
- Spreadsheets with Excel
- E-mail with Outlook
- Presentations with PowerPoint
- Communication with Teams
- Databases with Access

If learners are advanced or not interested in any of the above modules, I could happily exclude those modules from the course.

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?

I specialize in tutoring programming, data structures, and computer organization for university students and enthusiastic beginners. Drawing from my daily work as a backend software engineer, my goal is to help you understand not just how to write code, but how the computer actually executes it. We will cover programming fundamentals in languages like C, C++, or Python, while exploring CPU architecture and memory management under the hood. We will also dive deeply into data structures such as linked lists, binary trees, and hash tables where my focus is ensuring you grasp the core theory and logic behind them, not just the code implementations. Having previously tutored mathematics, I know how to break down complex technical topics so you stay challenged but never overwhelmed. I assign hands-on coding exercises during and after every lesson to ensure you build practical, real-world engineering skills.

I specialize in tutoring programming and computer science for university students and aspiring developers. Drawing from my practical experience as a Software Engineer at companies like Cloudflare, my goal is to help you build a solid foundation without feeling overwhelmed. The focus is to transition from academic theory to real-world application by working together on practical mini-projects.

This class is for aspiring software engineers who want to bridge the gap between university and the tech industry.

You'll learn how to write clean code, master technologies like Java, Python, React, or Docker, and leverage AI tools to optimize your studies. If you are struggling with complex concepts like distributed systems or algorithms, don't worry; I specialize in breaking them down into simple, digestible steps.

This course is aimed at beginners and students who wish to understand web cybersecurity in a practical, progressive and structured way.

The goal is not to learn techniques by heart, but to understand how a web application works and how to reason when faced with a security problem.

We will be discussing, in particular:

• the basics of HTTP: requests, responses, methods, cookies and sessions;
• Authentication vs. Authorization;
• Getting started with Burp Suite Community;
• Broken Access Control;
• IDOR and BOLA;
• horizontal and vertical privilege escalation;
• roles, permissions and ownership;
• Security API basics;
• bug bounty methodology;
• drafting a clear vulnerability report.

The exercises are performed in dedicated learning labs, CTFs, or explicitly authorized environments.

My method is based on a simple line of reasoning:

Actor → Action → Object → Expected Authorization

Each session alternates between explanations, demonstrations, practical exercises with Burp Suite and guided correction.

The program can be adapted to the student's level, from the discovery of Web cybersecurity to the first methodologies of BAC/IDOR vulnerability research.

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.
