Learn Python at all levels! One-on-one tutoring with an expert.

Do you want to learn programming? Do you have lots of boring, repetitive tasks, either at work or at home? Are you having trouble with your homework or your courses? Do you want to automate your life? Then come learn Python with me.

You don't need to want to become a developer in order to learn Python. Most people who program in Python actually work in another field, but use Python as a superpower to help them do their job more efficiently and effectively.

I will be teaching you one-on-one. We'll see what you want to do, and I help you work towards that goal. I will be using best practices as appropriate to your level. Most of our work will be in Jupyter notebooks.

Some case studies involving students of mine:

In one case, I started by automating one report of a financial analyst who had never programmed before, allowing him to start learning Python on during working hours. I also automated one of his side jobs, giving him more disposable income. He has since automated many more of his tasks, and has been providing many more useful insights to his company, which earned him a promotion and a sponsored masters degree. I still provide support as necessary.

In another, I enabled a PhD student to analyze their electron-phase micrographs by writing software with them which did the job of commercial software with an expensive license. I was acknowledged by name in their paper.

Note: Python 3 only, unless you are required to use Python 2.

Extra information

Bring your own laptop. If you haven't used Python before, try to make sure that you can use Python 3 on your computer before the lesson. I recommend Anaconda for Windows users, and you should already have it if you're on Mac or Linux.

If you have a project we would be working on, make sure the code runs on your computer already, unless your objective is to have me get it running. Also, please send me your code and explanation of the problem before the lesson so that we can get started more quickly.

About Me

Hello!

I'm a robotics engineer and a Python expert. I have lived and worked in many countries around the world, and speak nine languages. I lived in Japan for four years while I did my masters, and have been speaking it for more than ten. In fact, my Japanese is better than some of my native languages.

I will be teaching Python programming (especially focusing on the scientific stack), as well as Japanese, and maybe some English, Math or Physics too. I love helping people learn.

Here are a couple of examples of some of my students on how Python changed their lives.

In one case, I started by automating one report of a financial analyst working for a grocery store chain, allowing him to start learning Python on the job. I also automated one of his side jobs, giving him more disposable income. He has since automated many more of his tasks, and has been providing useful insights to his company, which earned him a promotion and a sponsored masters degree. I still provide support as necessary.

In another, I enabled a PhD student to analyze their electron-phase micrographs by writing software with them which did the job of commercial software with an expensive license. I was acknowledged by name in their paper. He has since graduated.

Note: All classes at the student's location must be somewhere where no smokers (including e.g., roommates or parents) live.

Education

Masters of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Laboratory, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan. 2017.
Bachelor of Applied Sciences, Honours Mechatronics Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada. 2013.

Experience / Qualifications

I've worked in 5 countries. Most recently, I was a data scientist in Antwerp, then an industry automation consultant here in Brussels.

Jean is a good teacher. He has patience and is really involved. He helped me a lot in how to understand and write japanese with the use of built in tools on my laptop/iPhone. Thank you Jean!

Andrew

Jean's knowledge of Python is extensive. He has a unique ability to communicate and adapt his teaching to fit your experience level/goals flawlessly. Most importantly he is a tremendously patient teacher. I am looking forward to more of his guidance in the months to come!

Simon

Jean is a very patient and helpful pedagogue. I came to him with a very specific set of requests and he helped me tremendously. We have more lessons planned because of this, to which I am looking forward.

Sebastian

First of all, Jean was amazing! He responded very quickly and answered every question I had! He is extremely knowledgeable and his help was just what I needed! He is very friendly and he adjusts the pace to his students. I am very glad I contacted him and I strongly recommend him for anyone who wants to learn programming languages or has trouble doing so! I will definitely study with him again!

One-on-one Japanese lessons at any level (online only)

Konnichiwa! Do you want to learn Japanese? Or do you want someone to practice with? Join me, and we'll work together to improve your level. I have over ten years of experience speaking Japanese, and lived in Japan for four of these, where I did my masters in engineering completely in Japanese (except for the thesis). I will be primarily teaching Japanese grammar at the beginner and intermediate levels, but I should also be able to help you even at more advanced levels. I tend to mainly teach with conversation, but we can also dive into the details if that's what you prefer. The lesson could be conducted entirely in Japanese, or I can explain certain concepts in French or (preferably) English.

Learn Python for scientific and engineering applications. All levels welcome!

Do you want to improve your productivity in class or at work? Are you tired of using Excel for things it's not meant for? Do you want to analyze and visualize your data? Do you want to generate valuable insights? Do you want to talk to sensors and devices? Then you've come to the right place. You don't need to want to become a developer in order to learn Python. Most people who program in Python actually work in another field, but use Python as a superpower to help them do their job more efficiently and effectively, or even do do things that were previously impossible. I will be teaching you one-on-one. We'll see what you want to do, and I help you work towards that goal. I will be using best practices as appropriate to your level. We might work with Jupyter notebooks if you have nothing more specific that you prefer to do. But I can also work with you on analyzing your data, controlling your devices and robots, or even building tools that you feel that you need. Depending on your application, we might even do some machine learning. Some case studies involving students of mine: In one case, I started by automating one report of a financial analyst who had never programmed before, allowing him to start learning Python on during working hours. I also automated one of his side jobs, giving him more disposable income. He has since automated many more of his tasks, and has been providing completely new insights to his company, This has earned him a promotion and a sponsored masters degree. I still provide support as necessary. In another, I enabled a PhD student to analyze their electron-phase micrographs by writing software with them which did the job of commercial software with an expensive license. I was acknowledged by name in their paper. Note: Python 3 only, unless you are required to use Python 2.

Effective and Practical Application of Large Language Models (LLMs)

I provide private, one-on-one training sessions focused on the practical and effective use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for beginners and professionals. The objective is to move beyond basic usage and equip you with the skills to apply these powerful tools strategically and efficiently. Usually, we'll first discuss any existing experience you have and what you might want to use AI for. I'll show you what's possible if you're not sure, and we will always work on something you actually want to do, on your own computer. The content of the training is tailored to your specific needs and can cover a range of modern AI tools and techniques, including: - Core Model Usage: Mastering prompt engineering and advanced interaction techniques for models like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Anthropic's Claude, as well as using OLLaMA for local LLMs if needed. - Integrated Tools: Leveraging AI-powered tools to improve productivity. This includes using snippets to use your prompts anywhere, creating custom GPTs or projects etc (depenting on the tool), how to use Raycast AI for seamless integration on the desktop for macOS users. - Development & Research Interfaces: Using platforms like Google's AI Studio to work with one of the most powerful models for free, NotebookLM for research synthesis, and command-line interfaces like the Gemini CLI for technical tasks. - Practical Workflows: Developing systematic approaches to integrate these tools into your daily work for tasks such as research, content generation, data analysis, and workflow automation. My background includes serving as a subject matter expert on LLMs in a corporate environment. I have almost 20 years of experience in tutoring and mentoring, and I am practiced in explaining complex technical subjects in simple, understandable terms.
