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?

Most cybersecurity courses skip the part everything else sits on: how Linux, processes and memory actually behave. You're expected to "just know" it. I teach that part, one to one, at your pace.

Who I am: a backend team lead with 7+ years in production, and a CTF player. My team placed 9th of 200+ at Standoff 15, a three-day live offensive-security competition, and I've published Hack The Box writeups and a malware analysis. I also mentored groups of 14-17 students at LANIT-Tercom's developer summer camps in 2021 and 2022.

What we can cover (you pick):
- Linux fundamentals: shell, files and permissions, users, processes, services, logs, package managers
- Linux for security: what attackers and defenders actually look at on a box
- How computers work: boot, CPU and memory, processes and threads, syscalls, file systems
- Your first TryHackMe / Hack The Box machines, coached step by step (legal platforms only)
- Privacy basics: threat modelling, passwords and 2FA, what a VPN does and doesn't do
- "I'm stuck on this uni topic": concepts explained, not answers handed over

How lessons work:
1. You tell me what you want to understand or what you're stuck on.
2. We share a screen and you drive. I ask questions, point and explain. I only take the keyboard to show something, then hand it back.
3. After the lesson you get a written recap: what we covered, commands, links and one small task for next time.

I won't do graded homework for you. I'll make sure you understand it well enough to do it yourself.

Good fit for: cybersecurity and CS students, self-taught people moving into security who keep hitting gaps in the basics, and developers who want to stop being scared of the terminal.

Send me a message with what you're working on and we'll plan your first lesson around it.

I hold a degree in Management and Software Programs (Rey Juan Carlos University) and have over 20 years of experience in IT and cybersecurity, as well as extensive experience as a vocational training instructor. I help you learn IT in a clear, practical way, without unnecessary technical jargon, whether you're starting from scratch or want to delve deeper into networks, operating systems, or security.

METHODOLOGY
The classes are 100% practical and adapted to your pace and goals. We always start from your current situation (your computer, your work, your questions) and practice with examples and guided exercises. At the end of each session, I provide a summary of what we've covered and, if you wish, optional exercises to reinforce the material. I explain things in simple language, repeat as many times as necessary, and we progress step by step.

SYLLABUS AND LEVELS
- Basic computer skills (beginner): computer handling, files and folders, internet, email, safe use of mobile phones and computers.
- Office automation (beginner and intermediate): Word, Excel and office tools; formulas, tables, charts and data organization. Also advanced level Excel.
- Operating systems (intermediate): Windows and Linux, installation, configuration, users and permissions, maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Networks (intermediate and advanced): network fundamentals, IP addressing, switching and routing, VPN, WiFi and firewalls.
- Cybersecurity (all levels): personal and business protection against phishing, malware and fraud, passwords and backups, regulations (ISO 27001, ENS, GDPR), hardening, vulnerability analysis and basic ethical hacking, SOC and SIEM. Preparation for professional certifications such as IFCT0109 Information Security.
- Programming and data (on request): Python, scripting with PowerShell and Bash, SQL databases.

WHO IS IT FOR?
For children and teenagers who want to learn how to use technology safely, for adults who need to be better at using computers, for older people who want to overcome their fear of technology, for professionals and freelancers who need to improve their office skills, for vocational training students or those pursuing professional certificates, and for those who want to get started in cybersecurity or protect their company.

FIRST CLASS
In the first class, we'll discuss your goals, assess your current level, and answer your most pressing questions. From there, we'll design a personalized learning plan, outlining the topics, pace, and frequency of your classes. You'll leave the first session with a clear path forward and some initial learning.

ONLINE AND IN-PERSON CLASSES IN MALAGA
I offer online classes via video call from anywhere in Spain and in-person classes at your home in Malaga and the surrounding area. In both cases, the content and personalized attention are the same. Write to me and tell me what you need.
