Smart Steps: Problem Solving for Computer Science and Engineering

From 124.92 C$ /h

Welcome to the starting line of how software actually works!
This class is designed for anyone curious about how we get computers to solve problems efficiently. You don’t need to be a math genius or an expert coder yet, this class is all about training your brain to think step-by-step.

What You'll Learn:
Thinking in Steps: How to take a big, messy problem and write clear instructions for a computer to follow.

Organizing Information: Discovering the best ways to store and arrange data.

Classic Strategies: Learning the smart, time-tested tricks programmers use to sort data, search for answers, and tackle tough tasks.

Think of this course as learning the blueprints behind your favorite apps and systems. By the end, you won't just be writing code, you'll understand the clever logic that makes that code run fast and smart.

If there is anything you would like to discuss or learn I am freely to that.

About Me

My name is Lamberto and I am a 22-year-old Italian Computer Science graduate. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI), and I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Computer Science at ETH Zurich, majoring in Machine Intelligence.
My academic journey began in 2022 when I enrolled in the Computer Science Bachelor program at USI. Prior to that, I attended the International School of Verona “Aleardo Aleardi,” where I completed both my international middle school program and a four-year Liceo delle Scienze Applicate pioneering program. This innovative program allowed students to achieve the Italian high school diploma in four years instead of five, while maintaining the same academic standards and outcomes. I graduated with a final grade of 100/100. During those years, I also completed a Dual Diploma Program in collaboration with a school in Miami, Florida, graduating with honors.
Throughout my university studies, I had the opportunity to broaden both my academic and personal horizons. I spent time living in different cities and countries, including Berlin, where I lived with a host family and attended a German school, strengthening my language skills and cultural adaptability. I also had the chance to exchange in Copenhagen, a true rewarding experience. These experiences taught me responsibility, open-mindedness, and the value of multicultural environments.
Over the years, my academic interests have evolved into a strong and focused passion for Machine Learning, algorithms, and problem-solving. What initially started as curiosity has grown into a genuine drive. I enjoy tackling complex challenges, transforming ideas into code, and deepening my understanding of intelligent systems. Innovation excites me, the rapid evolution of technology motivates me to learn continuously, refine my skills, and explore new concepts. For me, Computer Science is not just a field of study; it is a mindset that pushes me to think critically and creatively every day.
Alongside my academic path, sports have played a fundamental role in shaping who I am. I was a competitive football player for ten years before dedicating myself to sailing, where I competed professionally for over eight years. During this period, I achieved significant results, including ranking first nationally in my boat category and becoming Italian champion. More recently, I have developed a passion for long-distance running. On November 17th, 2024, after just over three months of preparation, I completed my first marathon in 3:39:36.
These experiences reflect my determination, discipline, and ability to commit fully to my goals, qualities that I bring into both my academic and personal life

Advanced mathematics and statistics often present a major obstacle in non-engineering programs. I support students (Bachelor's degrees in Economics/Management, Business Schools, Health/PASS programs, and BUT programs) as well as adults undergoing career transitions to master mathematical tools and succeed in their exams.

The approach is pragmatic, personalized and focused on the specific needs of your university program or professional project.

Areas of expertise covered:

• Linear Analysis & Algebra: Matrices, linear systems, sequences, functions of several variables, optimization.

• Statistics & Probabilities: Descriptive statistics, conditional probabilities, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, estimation.

• Tools for Data: Transition to the use of computer science for statistics if your curriculum requires it (Python, SQL).

A methodology focused on autonomy and performance:
The lessons take place via videoconference on a collaborative platform with screen sharing and a virtual whiteboard. We work using your course materials, tutorials, and past exam papers. Exercises are solved and corrected in real time to develop skills that can be immediately applied on exam day.

Formats of working sessions:

• Intensive format (60 minutes): Ideal for learning a specific calculation method or overcoming a blockage in a tutorial exercise.

• In-depth format (90 minutes): Recommended for covering complete exam topics, understanding the theory of a dense chapter, or structuring intensive revisions.

Don't let mathematics or statistics hold you back from your academic journey or career transition.

Contact me today to discuss your goals and create a customized plan.

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?
