About Me

Je maîtrise 6 langues et je suis toujours en quête d'en apprendre davantage. Les langues sont pour moi un moyen extraordinaire de créer des liens forts et de me faire des amis aux quatre coins du monde.

Comme tout apprenant, j'ai parfois peur de faire des erreurs, mais je m'efforce de transformer cette crainte en un moteur de progression. Cela m'aide à gagner rapidement en confiance et à faire des progrès constants.

Je suis passionné par la manière dont les langues se structurent et évoluent. Chaque langue est unique et porte en elle une culture spécifique que l'on ne peut pas toujours traduire. Pour moi, apprendre une langue, c'est d'abord comprendre comment les idées sont formées et exprimées au sein de cette culture.

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.

🎯 Topics we can cover
- Smart formulas (IF, VLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, etc.)
- Creating charts, pivot tables, and dashboards
- Using Excel for budgeting, planning, or managing projects
- Data analysis and basic programming in Excel
- Preparing for Excel tests or improving job-related Excel skills

💻 Practical info
- Having your own laptop/PC is helpful, but not required
- Online or in-person sessions possible

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.

B- PERSONALIZED TUTORING: LEARNING HOW TO REASON
Machine learning and artificial intelligence become much more accessible when mathematics, algorithms, Python code, data, and real-world applications are clearly connected.

My lessons help you move beyond simply copying code or using models as “black boxes.” You will learn how to define the problem correctly, prepare the data, select an appropriate algorithm, understand how it works, train and evaluate the model, diagnose errors, improve performance, and interpret results rigorously and responsibly.

Each lesson is personalized according to your current level, mathematical background, programming experience, dataset, university work, research project, interview preparation, or professional objective. We begin by identifying your existing knowledge, software environment, expected outcomes, and main conceptual or technical difficulties. We then establish a structured learning plan.

The first lesson combines a discussion of your background, objectives, and tutoring needs; an initial assessment of your current knowledge; personalized planning and organization of future sessions; and a short trial lesson to determine the most effective learning approach.

A typical session may include conceptual explanation, development of mathematical intuition, live coding, guided implementation, model evaluation, technical problem solving, and a concise summary of the next steps.

You may work with your own dataset, university assignment, research project, or professional problem, provided that confidential information is handled appropriately. I can also provide structured examples and datasets suited to your level.

My goal is not simply to help you run an algorithm. It is to help you understand why it is appropriate, how it learns from data, how to evaluate it correctly, why it may fail, and how to build a reliable, interpretable, and scientifically rigorous solution.

My lessons are designed to take you from simply following code to genuinely understanding how data science works.

We can cover the complete data science process, including data cleaning, exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, visualisation, statistics, machine learning, model evaluation and communicating results.

Depending on your goals, lessons can include:

Python, pandas, NumPy and scikit-learn
Data cleaning and exploratory analysis
Regression and classification
Decision trees, random forests and boosting
Clustering and dimensionality reduction
Cross-validation and model evaluation
Feature engineering and model interpretation
Neural networks and deep learning foundations
Bayesian modelling and PyMC
Portfolio and interview preparation
Support understanding university modules and projects

I use diagrams, analogies and practical demonstrations to make difficult ideas easier to understand. We will normally begin with an intuitive explanation, look at the underlying logic or mathematics, and then implement the concept in Python.

Lessons are personalised around your level. Complete beginners receive a structured learning path, while experienced students can focus on advanced topics, project guidance, debugging or interview preparation.

You will be encouraged to explain ideas back to me, interpret results and make your own modelling decisions. My goal is not only to help you produce working code, but to help you become an independent and confident data scientist.
