Software Development, Algorithms, Backend, FrontEnd
Hi All, I'm Madalina, 27 years old software developer. I finished Computer Science high school and university in Romania and Hungary. Working as a full-time backend Java software developer in the past 5 years and full stack (backend + front-end) in the past 2 years. I have experience in teaching and training since 2012. During the lessons the used language for back-end is Java. For front-end HTML, CSS, AngularJS. For fastening up the learning process a personal laptop for the students in the intermediate group, would be optimal. For this purpose I start 3 teams: 1. Beginners : Primary school students or persons interested to have some basic concepts and terminology regarding software development: searching and sorting algorithms, variables, parameters, function overriding, pseudo language, functions, procedures, data structures, pure HTML and CSS. 2. Intermediate: concepts of dns servers and lookup, frameworks definitions and introduction, SQL queries, Hibernate framework, query and processing database objects in Java, http, web services, JSON format, SpringBoot, unit testing JUnit, full stack approach, HTML, CSS and introduction to Angular JS. 3. Advanced : Group for students in the first and second year of university, with a full stack approach. Already familiar with the knowledge of an intermediate student. During the lessons a brief introduction to Java frameworks, project delivery, project management frameworks Agile Scrum and Lean, continuous delivery Jenkins, SpringBoot + AngularJs, implementation of website, database handling, login form, security.

Intro to Coding with Python or C++ – Build Real Skills from Day One
This class is designed for absolute beginners who want to start their journey in programming with Python or C++. We’ll start from the very basics—understanding how code works, writing your first program, and gradually moving on to topics like variables, loops, conditionals, functions, and object-oriented programming (OOP). Whether you’re a school student, a university freshman, or just someone curious about coding, I’ll guide you step by step using clear explanations and hands-on practice. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident writing basic programs, solving problems, and ready to take on more advanced CS topics. No prior programming experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to learn!

Maths, Physics, Computer Science: Coaching, homework help - exam preparation
My classes cover all levels from primary to upper secondary. It's important to ensure continuity with your child's teacher's course. Therefore, I will only use my course if necessary. It's important not to duplicate the documents in order to simplify things. 1 + 1 will always equal 2. Theory is the foundation, but practice is essential. Examples are very important for understanding mathematical, physics, and computer science concepts. That's why each theorem will be followed by an example and several exercises. The number of steps will depend on the student's level. Their intelligence has nothing to do with it; it's their motivation and self-confidence that drive their success. I'll give them what they need to assimilate at their own pace all the concepts that school requires them to master. It's also important to have a methodology. By breaking down difficult concepts into simpler ones, we obtain building blocks that simply need to be assembled to understand the entire problem. Teachers neglect this aspect and don't revisit concepts they think they've learned, which is why many students drop out of school. Mathematics is also used in other subjects. It is perfectly possible to cover concepts used in physics, chemistry, or economics if necessary. I also teach courses in these disciplines. I prefer distance learning to avoid travel. However, sometimes students or parents may want me to travel to the area. This is possible after the first class, in the Brussels area.
