Computer science for children, beginners and intermediate level

From 23 € /h

I teach computer science classes for various levels, from programming for the little ones with Scratch, Python for beginners and even more complex languages such as C. I also teach classes on basic concepts of GNU/Linux to become familiar with its operation and correct use.

I am a student of the Double Degree in Mathematics and Computer Engineering at the Autonomous University of Madrid, in my third year. I have always had a great vocation for computing and programming, and I hope that in this course I can share how exciting these subjects are in the most understandable, interactive and enjoyable way possible.

Improve your French by following our online French courses. I teach courses and help organize foreign companies in matters of organization and fixed obligations such as monthly expenses and scheduling client appointments.

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?"

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?

I'm a Computer Science master's student at TU Delft and I build with these tools every day. I've written and open-sourced a pipeline for working with AI coding agents, and a lot of that work was about finding where the output quietly goes wrong. That's the part most tutorials skip.

This class is for people who use AI at work, or are being told to, and want to actually get something out of it. No programming background needed.

We cover: writing a prompt that gets a usable answer the first time, giving the model your own documents and data to work from, using it for drafting, summarising, analysis and research, building a repeatable workflow instead of starting from scratch every time, and the important part, how to spot when it's confidently wrong.

We work on your actual tasks, not toy examples. Bring something real from your job and we'll build a workflow around it.

I teach in English and Polish.

Learn to use Canva from scratch, practically and at your own pace. I'm a psychologist and teacher, and I use Canva daily to create presentations, guides, training materials, and social media content with a strong visual identity.

In classes you will learn to:
• Navigating Canva: templates, elements, texts, photos, and colors.
• Create engaging presentations for school, university, or work.
• Design school projects, infographics, concept maps, and covers.
• Create posts, stories, and short videos for social media.
• Create a simple visual identity (colors, fonts and logo) for your project or business.
• Download, share, and present your designs.

For whom: children from 9 years old (accompanied by an adult if they prefer), teenagers, university students, teachers and entrepreneurs.

How the classes are: We work on a real project of yours from the very first session (a presentation, a paper, or your brand), so you leave each class with something finished. Classes are held via video call (Zoom or Google Meet) with screen sharing.

New to AI, or tried ChatGPT and didn't know what to ask? In these one-to-one lessons I show you, step by step, how to use ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for real things in your own life and work.

We work on your own phone or laptop, at your pace. In the first lesson we pick two or three tasks that eat your time and set the AI up to help with them.

Depending on what you need, we can cover:
- What AI is (and isn't), and what you should never share with it
- Writing and replying to emails, messages and documents
- Summarising long texts and finding information fast
- Planning your week, a trip or a budget
- Memory and instructions, so the AI knows how you like things done
- If you've moved to Portugal: understanding letters from Finanças, AIMA or Segurança Social, and replying in proper Portuguese

About me: I've worked in artificial intelligence since 2020. I was part of the team at Pacemaker, a Swedish startup that built an AI DJ app, and today I design AI agents for companies. Teaching is what I enjoy most, and no question is too basic.

Lessons in English or Portuguese, in person or online.

As a computer science student at the University of Amsterdam I can help students learn to program from scratch or progress if they already have experience. The student chooses what to study: programming in general (using pseudocode), Python or C. I scored 8.5/10 on the university’s C programming exam (the average being 5.5). Lessons take place online with screen sharing to work directly on the student’s code. I can also offer an introduction to the Linux terminal if needed.

I was part of the Belgian national cybersecurity team and represented the country at the European competition (ECSC) for the past two years. At the invitation of the Belgian government I also helped find vulnerabilities in the systems of the Belgian federal police and was awarded a medal by the Director General of the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium.

I know how to teach, adapt to each student and show patience thanks to the tennis lessons I give to children in the summer. I am fluent in French, Dutch and English and can therefore give my lessons in the student’s language. The first lesson is free: I assess the student’s level and goals and then suggest a suitable plan.

You have a kid that's interested in programming?? Set up a class for him with me. Aya a software engineer turned teacher.
