Talking about Computers, it is a very interesting subject. As technology is advancing at a rapid pace, we rely more and more on computers for everything from playing games to organizing our taxes. An understanding of computer basics is compulsory nowadays.
I have a Master's Degree in Computer Science and this course is designed according to your level of understanding of computers. We'll be practically doing things on Computers and see the things happening over there.

Starting from Computer basics which includes computer knowledge of Operating system, hardware-software components, internet, World Wide Web(WWW), different web browsers, and other basic functionalities of a computer system. Then moving on to basic knowledge of word processing, spreadsheets and preparing professional presentations (Ms. Word, Ms. Excel, Ms. Powerpoint) and creating simple web pages through HTML. Apart from this if you wish, we can move to the advanced level of each of them. I'll be teaching you in a very simple way so that you grab the concepts easily.
Let's start and do something innovative.

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?"

I have known and used the Mac since 1989 and since 2014 it has become my main activity and I have more than 1600 customers in Switzerland and neighboring France. I give at-home lessons if necessary and online lessons and troubleshooting with the Messages app on your Mac, from Apple ID to Apple ID, in complete security.
If you have problems with your Mac, updates to make or training needs on Mac OS or apps like Contacts, Safari, Mail, system settings and optimizations and security (malware), iCloud, Photos, printers and passwords, etc... do not hesitate to call me.
I have been registered with the Geneva commercial register and with the French-speaking business federation since 2015.

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 specialize in tutoring programming, data structures, and computer organization for university students and enthusiastic beginners. Drawing from my daily work as a backend software engineer, my goal is to help you understand not just how to write code, but how the computer actually executes it. We will cover programming fundamentals in languages like C, C++, or Python, while exploring CPU architecture and memory management under the hood. We will also dive deeply into data structures such as linked lists, binary trees, and hash tables where my focus is ensuring you grasp the core theory and logic behind them, not just the code implementations. Having previously tutored mathematics, I know how to break down complex technical topics so you stay challenged but never overwhelmed. I assign hands-on coding exercises during and after every lesson to ensure you build practical, real-world engineering skills.

I specialize in tutoring programming and computer science for university students and aspiring developers. Drawing from my practical experience as a Software Engineer at companies like Cloudflare, my goal is to help you build a solid foundation without feeling overwhelmed. The focus is to transition from academic theory to real-world application by working together on practical mini-projects.

This class is for aspiring software engineers who want to bridge the gap between university and the tech industry.

You'll learn how to write clean code, master technologies like Java, Python, React, or Docker, and leverage AI tools to optimize your studies. If you are struggling with complex concepts like distributed systems or algorithms, don't worry; I specialize in breaking them down into simple, digestible steps.

Do you sometimes feel that ChatGPT should be useful, but somehow it just doesn't understand what you want?

The problem often isn't the AI — it's the way we communicate with it.

In this practical 30-minute session, I'll show you a few simple techniques that dramatically improve the answers you get from tools such as ChatGPT. No technical knowledge and no complicated “magic prompts” are required.

You'll learn how to give AI enough context, explain what you actually want, improve a poor answer instead of starting again, and reduce the chance of receiving confidently incorrect information.

We'll work through real examples together, so you can immediately apply the techniques to your own work or everyday life.

After 30 minutes, you should be able to get more useful, reliable and relevant answers from AI — and understand what to do when it gets things wrong.

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.
