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.

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?

Whether you're preparing for IB, IGCSE, GCSE, or simply want to build confidence in Mathematics, I'm here to help. I have over 3 years of teaching experience and 7 years of professional software engineering experience, allowing me to explain mathematical concepts in a clear, logical, and practical way.

My lessons are tailored to each student's needs and learning pace. I believe understanding the "why" behind a concept is far more valuable than memorising formulas. During lessons, I use carefully prepared practice questions and exam-style exercises, many of which I create myself using professional typesetting tools like LaTeX that is used by IB and Cambridge directly.

I encourage students to ask questions freely and develop strong problem-solving skills. Whether you're aiming to improve your grades, prepare for school exams, or study for international curricula such as IB, IGCSE, or GCSE, I'll help you build confidence step by step in a supportive learning environment.

I use a Pen Display Tablet to write on it using Goodnotes as the writing app, which I share the link to the whiteboard used with the students.

Lessons are available online or in-person (within 30 mins train travel from Shinjuku, Tokyo), and are conducted in English.

I'm a working MEP engineer, currently building Python automation for Revit workflows daily - plan checks, model coordination, and repetitive drafting tasks. I teach other engineers, architects, and BIM professionals how to do the same, using pyRevit and real project workflows, not toy examples.

Topics include:
pyRevit fundamentals and setup
Automating repetitive Revit tasks (model checks, plan generation, data extraction)
Writing custom scripts for your firm's specific workflows
Applying Python automation to real MEP/BIM projects

I am a certified computer science professor who helps graduates and students with exam retakes and competitions. I tutor preparatory classes (MPSI, MP, PSI, ECS, etc.) up to university level (Bachelor's & Master's in Science or Economics). My method is based on understanding the lessons, practicing correctly, organizing the concepts, and completing exercises and problems of your choice. Each session includes verbal exercises, methodological tips, and subsequent personalized advice. You will receive a video recording and an annotation in PDF format after each session. The online courses are conducted via Google Meet, 5 days a week, with flexible scheduling. I am available between sessions to answer questions. Contact me for an initial consultation.

As a Master's student in Data Science at EPFL, a graduate of CentraleSupélec (ranked in the top 3% of my class) and holder of a Bachelor's degree in microtechnology from EPFL, I offer tutoring in mathematics, physics and computer science, from primary school to university level.
My teaching experience
I was a student teaching assistant at EPFL for 8 courses, working with over 400 students. I currently lead the linear algebra and ICC (Information, Computation, Communication) exercise sessions. Each week, I adapt my explanations to each student's level: that's what I love most about teaching.
What I propose
• Primary and secondary school: consolidate the basics (calculation, fractions, geometry, equations), regain confidence and improve methodology.
• Gymnasium / high school (maturity, baccalaureate): functions, analysis, probabilities, vectors, mechanics, electricity, exam preparation.
• University / EPF / preparatory classes: analysis, linear algebra, probability and statistics, numerical analysis, programming (Python, C/C++).
My method
I begin by identifying the real obstacle: a misunderstanding of the concept, a lack of methodology, or stress. Then, I build the sessions based on the student's lessons and exercises. The goal isn't just to pass the next test, but to understand the material and become independent.
Whether you need occasional homework help, regular support, or intensive exam preparation, I adapt to your needs.

Python Level 1Workshop

**Course Description**

Want to learn programming from scratch? This beginner-friendly Python course introduces students to coding through interactive lessons, practical exercises, and fun mini-projects.

Students will learn how to write Python programs, work with different types of data, take user input, make decisions using conditions, and repeat actions using loops. Each concept is explained step by step with real-life examples and hands-on coding activities.

**What You Will Learn**

* **Lesson 1: Your First Python Program** — Learn the `print()` function, display messages, and create simple programs.
* **Lesson 2: Variables and Data Types** — Store and work with text, numbers, and other basic data.
* **Lesson 3: User Input and Calculations** — Build interactive programs that accept user input and perform calculations.
* **Lesson 4: Conditional Statements** — Use `if`, `elif`, and `else` to make programs respond to different situations.
* **Lesson 5: Loops and Mini-Projects** — Use loops to repeat actions and apply your skills in practical coding challenges.

**Hands-On Projects**

Students will apply their learning by building beginner-friendly projects such as a calculator, a number-guessing game, and a Rock-Paper-Scissors game.

**Who Is This Course For?**

* Children and teenagers aged 8–16.
* Complete beginners with no prior programming experience.
* Students who want to develop logical thinking, problem-solving, and computational skills.
* Learners who want to explore programming through practical projects.

**My Teaching Approach**

I explain concepts step by step, use relatable examples, and encourage students to write their own code instead of simply copying solutions. Lessons are adapted to each student's pace, with coding exercises and challenges to strengthen understanding.

**No prior coding experience is required.** Students need a computer and an internet connection to participate.

By the end of Level 1, students will have a solid foundation in Python basics and the confidence to start creating their own simple programs.
