We will go through the fundamentals of Python coding language, I will explain to you its grammar and usage, providing useful examples from the most popular packages.

Do you have any specific requirement (e.g. priority on data analysis, data visualization, data management or cleaning up,...)? Just notify me of that and I'll do my best to meet your requirements : )

Level: from starters to experienced. I've already had experience in teaching both experienced and novice coders.
Extra information
We could be working with online and shared resources so that no software installation would be needed from yours. However, it's best to start with application and software installed on your computer, but I will tell you more about this : )

I am currently a MSc student in Physics at Utrecht University and have a long term experience in tutoring students from all educational levels, guiding them in coping with their tasks and overcoming their difficulties.

I can offer a personalized path for guiding you through what seems to be a complicated topic so that, on top of learning, you could also interiorize the concepts we will be dealing with and not be afraid of Physics ever in your life!

I can both reach your location or we can have lectures on webcam, as you prefer.

You want to be exposed to Italian and learn how to understand and answer to an Italian native speaker? Give yourself the chance to learn Italian with a tailored schedule for fast learning and usage of it!

You will be guided in all the needed aspects of the language, from grammar to sounds, from typical sentence structure to useful tips in Italian culture which can come in handy during a typical conversation.

I've already given Italian lessons back in Italy for foreign people with amazing results and I'm ready to repeat this experience here in Utrecht too :D
Lessons can be provided both in English and/or French

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.

Programming can seem intimidating at first, but with the right approach, it becomes a fascinating tool. I've designed this course to teach you to code from scratch with patience and practical examples. My methodology focuses on helping you understand the "why" behind the code, avoiding rote memorization and facilitating a frustration-free learning experience.

You'll learn the fundamentals of programming, how to structure clean code in Python or C, and how to apply algorithmic logic to solve real-world problems. I can help you prepare for exams, correct university assignments, or guide you step-by-step through your own automation projects. Classes are fully tailored to your pace, level, and specific goals.

This engaging coding course introduces children to the world of programming through block coding, CoffeeScript, and Python. Young learners begin with visual blocks to grasp core logic, then progress to writing real code as their confidence grows. Through hands‐on projects, they develop problem‐solving skills, creativity, and computational thinking. By exploring multiple languages, children build a strong foundation that prepares them for advanced digital learning. The course nurtures resilience, teamwork, and curiosity—key skills that benefit them far beyond the classroom.

The first steps when starting to study programming with languages like Python or C can be overwhelming, so I seek to teach these tools in a clear way, adapted to the student and with new tools that make learning more enjoyable and effective.
I have demonstrable outstanding grades in these languages and more than a year of experience teaching in different areas, in addition to my own study material.

The classes are held online, but you can inquire about my travel arrangements.

As a student at a specialized Mathematics and Computer Science high school and a national award winner, I don’t just teach you how to write code, I teach you how to think like a problem solver. This course is designed specifically for absolute beginners who want to move beyond watching tutorials and start writing their own code.

I will guide you through the "how" and "why" of Python. No prior experience is required, just curiosity and a laptop.

What You Will Learn:

The Building Blocks: Master variables, loops, and conditional logic (the "if/then" of the world).

Problem Solving: Learn how to think like a programmer to break down complex problems into small, solvable steps.

Data Structures: Understand how to organize information using lists, dictionaries, and tuples.


Why this class:

Peer-Tested Methods: I’ve mentored peers through the toughest parts of STEM, so I know exactly where beginners usually get stuck.

Modern Tools: We use the same tools the pros use (VS Code, GitHub, and terminal basics).

Certificate Focused: This class prepares you for more advanced tracks, such as Web Development with Django or Data Science.


Who Is This For:

High school students looking to get ahead in CS.

Total beginners who want a patient, one-on-one mentor.

Creatives who want to understand how the technology they use actually works.

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).
