    Graduate teacher gives courses in Physics & Chemistry, Mathematics, many years of experience.
    I am a dynamic and demanding teacher who gives private lessons in Physics-Chemistry as well as Mathematics. I graduated from teaching seven years ago, after a masters in physical sciences with honors, and I teach in college and high school since. I have also been preparing students for the Baccalaureate Science for many years, all of whom have been awarded very good honors. I also prepare my students for different exams (Matu, Bac, preparation for EPFL, etc...) I make sure to rework the basics so that the student can progress quickly. It is important to me that my students acquire a solid foundation of knowledge. I also give effective work methods that will allow him to progress much more quickly and so he can regain self-confidence. I can go to the student's home or also take the course via Skype.

    Algorithm and programming 1 (The essential bases of programming: Algorithms)
    Master pseudo-code algorithms in this hands-on course with dozens of different algorithms In this course, you will learn the basics of computer programming through the fundamental subject taught in all higher schools of computer science: algorithms. This is the initial stage of your learning to become a computer scientist (programming) First we will see a broad introduction to computer programming, and we will explain what algorithms are. Then, you will learn the language of computer scientists by studying "pseudo-code", and you will learn all the concepts of computer science through a multitude of practical exercises. The topics covered are very broad and comprehensive: Introduction - Algorithm Syntax - data type and Variables - The operators - The instructions - Conditions - The repetitive structure (loops) - The tables - Research techniques - Sorting algorithms - dichotomous search - Functions - The procedures - Recursion -complexity - Introduction to the C language - ... Your first programs... Finally, you will start programming by creating several algorithms in a specific programming language (here, C language). These algorithms are applicable in all programming languages. The goal... With more than 8 hours of e-courses, quizzes, and an assessment, you will have what you need to continue your learning of computer programming and advance towards your future profession. Who is this course for? Beginner in programming Retraining Computer science students or future students Thanks and see you soon ! IMAD
