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.

Do you want to discover architectural visualization (archiviz) and learn how to create your first 3D architectural images? This introductory archviz training is specially designed for beginners and curious individuals who want to understand and master the basics of creating architectural images with Autodesk 3ds Max and Adobe Photoshop.

Through a progressive and accessible learning approach, you will discover how to transform a simple 3D model into a realistic and attractive architectural image. The training covers the essential fundamentals: basic modeling, framing and composition, lighting, material application, rendering, and then image enhancement in post-production using Photoshop.

The goal is to give you a clear understanding of the complete workflow in architectural 3D visualization, while developing your artistic eye and your ability to tell a project's story visually. No advanced level is required: the training lays a solid foundation for progressing to more complex and professional renderings.

Ideal for students, architecture enthusiasts or creatives, this training constitutes a concrete first step towards the world of archival visualization and 3D imagery.

This course shows students how AI is the engine behind modern video games. It’s an engaging, project-based track ideal for advanced concepts in a fun, relatable environment.

Behavioral AI: Using simple visual programming environments (like Scratch or similar platforms) to program smarter Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that react realistically to the player's actions.

Generative Assets: Learning how game studios use generative AI tools to rapidly create textures, background stories, or simple game environments.

Interactive Storytelling: Exploring decision-tree logic and how AI can adapt game narratives based on player choices, making the game feel dynamic and intelligent.

SEN Alignment: The visual and immediate feedback loop of game design environments is highly effective for kinetic learners and helps maintain focus.

In this course you will learn the fundamentals of C# programming through the use of the console up to the use of the object-oriented programming paradigm.
This allows you to understand the basic syntax of the different ways to declare a variable, use loops, conditionals, and functions. Furthermore, after understanding fundamental programming, you can begin with the most widely used programming paradigm, which is object-oriented programming (OOP).

Many students today use AI tools like ChatGPT, but often in an unsafe or improvised way. Legitimate questions arise: Is it allowed? How can mistakes be avoided? How can AI be used without losing control of one's own thinking?

This course isn't about shortcuts or "machine-done work." It focuses on understanding AI as a tool and learning to use it consciously and responsibly. We work with concrete examples from the university setting and show how AI can support learning without compromising academic integrity.

One of the course's central themes is AI as a research tool. We'll explore how to define topics, formulate effective research questions, and structure a project from the outset. AI can help gain an overview and organize ideas, but we'll also clearly analyze its limitations and the need for critical self-reflection.

From there, we move on to academic writing. From developing outlines and arguments to improving style and clarity, AI can be a valuable tool. We demonstrate how to work with drafts, detect inconsistencies, and avoid common errors that often cause problems in academia.

Another section is dedicated to learning with AI. Explaining complex texts, clarifying concepts, reviewing content, and checking one's own understanding are especially valuable uses if the right questions are asked. The goal is to use AI actively, not passively.

Finally, we use AI as an intellectual sparring partner. Not as a substitute for our own thinking, but as an interlocutor that helps to compare arguments, raise objections, and explore other perspectives. This is where AI's greatest real value often lies: thinking better, not thinking less.

The course is designed for students of any discipline. No prior knowledge is required. The goal is to gain confidence in using AI and learn how to integrate it productively and responsibly into university studies.

I am patient and let students find the solutions themselves. If students are motivated, they can ask me questions outside of private lessons to learn more quickly by taking the initiative.

During the first lesson, I ask them what they need to do, then I give them exercises for the other lessons.

I have a C1 level in English (TOEIC). I have many digital and print resources to help students, such as past exam papers, exercises, quizzes in English, and good YouTube channels. I can also advise students on their study methods.

The courses are designed for students up to the third year of university (BAC+3) in mathematics, computer science, or English, and up to the second year of university (BAC+2) in physics, chemistry, and biology. I can also help students prepare for the TOEIC exam, offering helpful tips and strategies. If you need Spanish lessons, I can provide techniques to help you learn much more quickly.

The classes are held via video conference.
