While adults are still debating whether kids should use AI, they are already using it.
The question isn't "should they?" it's "how do we do it intelligently?"

In this course, your child will discover:
✓ What AI actually is: not magic, not mystery. How machines think, what they can do, what they can't
✓ How ChatGPT really works: not just "ask a question and get an answer," but why it responds that way, where it fails, when to trust it
✓ What LLMs are (Large Language Models): in language they understand, not tech jargon
✓ Create with AI: custom avatars, interactive stories, real projects using real tools
✓ Think critically about AI: Bias, privacy, creativity. What does AI do better than humans? What can't it do?
✓ Real-world applications: How AI transforms medicine, education, art, gaming, everyday life

Why this is different:
Most AI courses for kids teach "here's the tool, use it." I teach how to think about AI.
Your child will learn to see AI not as black magic or a solution to everything, but as a powerful tool with real limits.
And, more importantly: that they can control how they use it.

What they take home:
Real projects they created (custom avatar, interactive app, analysis of a real AI case study). A genuine understanding of how it works. And the ability to use AI responsibly and creatively.

Format: Online | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible, adapted to their age and pace

For curious kids asking "How does ChatGPT actually know things?"

Learn Arduino, robotics and electronics one to one with a qualified electronics engineer who teaches this at university level. Complete beginners through to degree students, online worldwide or in person in Birmingham, with a free 30 minute introduction before you book anything.

I'm Ghous. I hold an MSc in Electronics and Electrical Engineering with Distinction from the University of Chester, where I teach as a Visiting Lecturer on a Master's module, and I work as a freelance engineer designing circuit boards and writing embedded firmware for clients. I have taken a four layer ESP32 board from schematic to manufactured hardware, built the electrical power system for a CubeSat, and published two international conference papers on running neural networks on microcontrollers. When you ask why your sensor reads nothing or how to justify a design choice in a report, the answer comes from doing this work rather than from a tutorial.

Adults and hobbyists

If you own an Arduino kit and have stalled, or you can copy a project but cannot change it, this is the gap I close. We build what you actually want, home automation, data logging sensors, motorised builds, a device that talks to your phone, and underneath it you pick up the real skills: reading a datasheet, using a multimeter, wiring safely and debugging when nothing happens. No technical background required.

University and college students

Embedded systems, microcontrollers, robotics, control systems, circuit analysis and digital electronics. Arduino, ESP32, nRF52, PIC with MPLAB and STM32, plus Proteus, Multisim, Webots and PCB design in KiCAD. I also supervise final year and Master's projects from scoping through to the write up. I mark Level 7 work myself, so I know where reports lose marks. I teach students on UK, IB and continental European programmes and have worked with engineering students in Germany, so an unfamiliar syllabus is not a problem. Send me your course material and I will work from it.

School students, ages 9 to 18

Beginners who want to build something real, and students with coursework in Design and Technology, Computer Science or Engineering, whether on GCSE, A Level, IB or a national curriculum. Typical builds are a line following robot, an obstacle avoiding car, a live weather station or a motion triggered alarm. For lessons in Birmingham I bring all the equipment. Parents are welcome to sit in on the first session (UK DBS checked).

How lessons run

Tell me your level and what you want to build, or send your assignment brief, and I plan the session around it before we meet. I demonstrate first, then you take over while I guide, because nobody learns electronics by watching. Online students share a screen and I debug code and wiring photos live. Every session ends with something working and a clear next step, and you can message me between lessons.

Lessons run over Google Meet or Zoom, 60 or 90 minutes. I teach across GMT and Central European time with evening and weekend slots. Online students can start with any board they already own, or I will point you at one starter kit under 30 euros that covers the first several months.

Message me with your level and what you are trying to build and we will arrange the free 30 minutes.

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.

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
