Intro to Artificial Intelligence with Hands-On Examples

46 € /h

Artificial Intelligence is the branch of computer science that studies the autonomy of software systems by enabling adaptive behavior without direct programming.

A.I. is popular nowadays due to the recent outstanding progress of Large Language Models (chatbots like ChatGPT), but that is only the tip of the field.

Let’s dive together and explore the base of the iceberg that is A.I.: machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, search and optimization.

Focus on hands-on and intuitive practical application guaranteed regardless of age or background!

Intro to Robotics (Control, Dynamics, Perception, Reasoning)

54 € /h

Want to learn about the world of robots? Humanoids, rovers, drones, you name it! How do they see, feel, act and think? We can dive into their world in an easy to understand, but hands-on way using simulators!

Do you also have a school/university subject related to this that you have difficulties grasping? You know nothing about robots or just watched a movie and you find them cool? Then let's talk!

We can have a lesson, Q&A, assessment where we decide together how we can feed your curiosity.

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.

Learn to code with method and logic
Whether it's to succeed in the NSI (Digital Sciences and Technology) specialization in high school, design personal projects, or prepare for higher scientific studies, mastering code relies on solid algorithmic thinking. I help students understand the structure of programming languages and the logic of data.

Subject areas and languages taught:

Algorithms & Logic: Designing data structures and solving problems.

Programming Languages: Python, C/C++, C# and Java.

Data Management: Analysis and SQL queries / databases.

Basic Web Development: HTML & CSS for creating structured pages.

The goal is to take the student from simply writing code to true autonomy in development.

Are you a university student, engineer, or professional who needs to actually use data — not just learn theory about it?
This course is built around real problems and real code. We skip the textbook formulas and go straight to applying statistics and data science the way professionals do: with Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib) and R (RStudio).
What we cover, adapted to your level and goals:
- Descriptive and inferential statistics (the ones that actually matter)
- Data cleaning, exploration, and visualization
- Regression, classification, and intro to machine learning
- Time series and forecasting basics
- R for statistical analysis and academic research

Who this is for:
- University students in statistics, economics, engineering, or biology
- Professionals wanting to move into data analysis or data science
- Researchers who need to process and present data properly

I use Python and R professionally as a working engineer — everything I teach comes from real application, not just academic exercises.

Experienced and patient teacher of logic for computer science.

I have taught logic, formal languages and automata theory to undergraduates for six years. My tutoring is adapted to the student's level and goals. Whether you need to learn logic for your studies, or you would simply like to know more about the subject, I will be more than happy to help you improve your understanding and skills.

Logic
The sciences presuppose a certain standard of rationality. An ability to distinguish between correct reasoning and claims that do not follow from the assumptions. In this class we study the basic principles of logic and apply mathematical techniques to the study thereof.
Topics include:
Propositional and Predicate Logic
Syntax and semantics
Natural deduction
Semantic tableaux
Correctness and soundness
Completeness

Formal languages and automata
A formal language is an abstraction of general characteristics of programming languages. Such a languages consists of a set of symbols together with some rules to determine whether a string made up out of those symbols is a member of the language.

Topics include:
Regular languages, context-free languages
Finite automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines
Regular expressions
Regular grammar, context-sensitive grammar
Pumping lemmas for regular and context-free languages

These courses are part of a structured and progressive training in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with JavaScript, designed for beginner or intermediate developers who want to understand in depth how the language works, write clearer, more maintainable code and prepare themselves calmly for modern frameworks like React ⚛️.

Object-Oriented Programming is often perceived as complex or abstract.

My goal is simple: to make it logical, concrete, and immediately applicable.

🎯 Training Objectives

Upon completion of this training, you will be able to:

Understanding what Object-Oriented Programming really is (and when to use it)
Create and manipulate objects in JavaScript in a clean and efficient way
Use ES6 classes, constructors, and methods with confidence
Mastering this, the prototype, and the instantiation logic
Apply encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism without confusion
Avoiding common mistakes made by OOP beginners
Structure your JavaScript code like a professional developer

📖 Training Plan – Object-Oriented Programming in JavaScript
1. Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming 🧠
Understanding the concept, objectives and benefits of OOP.
2. Procedural Programming vs. OOP
Why unstructured code quickly becomes unmanageable.
3. Objects in JavaScript
Properties, methods and representation of the real world.
4. The keyword this
Understanding the execution context (often poorly understood).
5. Limitations of simple objects
Why duplicating code is a bad idea.
6. Constructive functions
Create multiple objects from the same model.
7. The keyword new
What it's actually doing under the hood.
8. The prototype
Sharing methods and memory optimization.
9. ES6 Classes
Modern syntax and best practices.
10. The builder
Proper initialization of objects.
11. Data Encapsulation
Protect the internal state of objects.
12. Inheritance between classes
Reusing code intelligently.
13. The keyword super
Communication between parent and child in the classroom.
14. Polymorphism
The same behavior, several forms.
15. Composition vs. Inheritance
Choosing the right architecture.
16. Best practices in OOP
Write readable, scalable, and maintainable code.
17. Common mistakes made by beginners
Pitfalls to absolutely avoid.
18. Guided practical exercise
Creation of a concrete class (product, user, etc.).
19. Assessment Quiz (Multiple Choice Questions)
To validate the actual understanding of the concepts.

🛠️ Teaching method: Understand before writing

This training program is based on a progressive and pragmatic approach:
Clear and illustrated explanations
Concrete examples from real projects
Simple but effective exercises
Constant questioning to avoid rote learning
Adaptation to the learner's level and pace
Here, we don't "recite OOP" — we understand it.

🚀 Learner's result

At the end of the training, you will not only know how to write a JavaScript class.
You will know:

1- Why does it exist?
2- When to use it
3- and when not to use it

You will leave with:
a solid understanding of OOP
a cleaner and more professional code
an ideal foundation for learning React, Node.js or any other modern framework
