Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

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.

I am a dynamic and demanding teacher who gives private lessons in Physics-Chemistry as well as Mathematics.

I graduated from teaching seven years ago, after a masters in physical sciences with honors, and I teach in college and high school since.
I have also been preparing students for the Baccalaureate Science for many years, all of whom have been awarded very good honors.
I also prepare my students for different exams (Matu, Bac, preparation for EPFL, etc...)

I make sure to rework the basics so that the student can progress quickly. It is important to me that my students acquire a solid foundation of knowledge.
I also give effective work methods that will allow him to progress much more quickly and so he can regain self-confidence.

I can travel to the student's home or also conduct the lesson via Zoom/Google Meet.

• Teaching methodology and techniques: I favour a personalized approach, adapting the courses according to the profile and academic background of each student.
• Typical course structure: tutoring in economics, econometrics, statistics and probability, financial mathematics, trading, investment, or political economy. Courses can take place at home, via videoconference, or at a pre-selected location, ideally quiet, free, and conducive to learning.
• Specifics as a teacher: I offer support throughout the school year, with free corrections of exercises outside of class, regular availability, and the guarantee of being accessible until the end of the year, subject to the general conditions of Superprof.
• Target audience: all levels, regardless of diploma, class or specific characteristics.
-------
The path and the method are in there; take a little bit of each.

Holding a degree in mathematics from EPFL, I offer private lessons in Geneva or online.

I graduated from EPFL with a degree in mathematics, having completed all the Bachelor's level courses in this discipline. I have gained significant experience tutoring students from middle school to university level (mathematics and physics). I have also assisted with teaching at EPFL, particularly in specialized courses such as analytic geometry (advanced mathematics course), analysis (first and second year Bachelor's level), and linear algebra (first year Bachelor's level). My in-depth mastery of the theory in these disciplines provides me with the skills and teaching abilities necessary to effectively support high school and university students, helping them understand the theoretical concepts in their courses and apply them practically in their exercises.

Typical course: a quick review (adapted to needs) of the essential concepts of the course, followed by practical exercises and oral role-playing (going to the board, discussion on the physical meaning, etc.), as in a competitive oral exam.

All my lessons are prepared in advance based on the topics covered in class (the student specifies their needs from one session to the next). I also create a handout containing sample exercises illustrating different methods, fully corrected and explained by me.

My commitment to my students' success is absolute. I only prioritize motivated students who are ready to put in the necessary effort to progress.

My main focus is on in-depth understanding and the quality of work. Depending on the student's request, I can also suggest exercises to do between sessions (not mandatory, depending on available time and homework already assigned by their school).

Vous souhaitez découvrir l'univers de la programmation mais vous ne savez pas par où commencer ? Python est le langage idéal : simple à lire, puissant et utilisé partout (Web, Intelligence Artificielle, Automatisation).

Ce cours s'adresse aux débutants complets, aux étudiants ou aux passionnés qui souhaitent acquérir des bases solides sans se perdre dans une théorie trop complexe. Mon objectif est de vous rendre autonome rapidement.

Au programme :
Le contenu est adapté selon votre rythme, mais suit généralement cette progression :

Installation & Setup : Configurer votre environnement de travail (VS Code, PyCharm ou IDLE).

Les Fondamentaux : Variables, types de données (nombres, listes, dictionnaires) et opérations de base.

La Logique de Programmation : Maîtriser les conditions (if/else) et les boucles (for/while) pour donner de l'intelligence à votre code.

Fonctions & Modularité : Apprendre à structurer son code pour qu'il soit propre et réutilisable.

Ma Méthodologie
80% de Pratique : On apprend mieux en tapant du code qu'en regardant des diapositives.

Pédagogie Positive : Pas de jugement, on avance étape par étape. Chaque erreur est une occasion d'apprendre.

Suivi Personnalisé : Je m'adapte à vos objectifs spécifiques (aide aux devoirs, projet personnel ou curiosité intellectuelle).
