AI is everywhere, but knowing that does not make it easy to begin. Many people feel overwhelmed, uncertain, resistant, or worried that they are already behind.

These lessons are designed for complete beginners who want a calm and supportive way to enter the world of AI.

I will help you understand how to approach AI, what it can realistically do for you, and how to begin using it without feeling intimidated. We will work at your pace, using real examples from your work, daily life, interests, or personal goals.

The focus is not only on learning the technology. It is also about building confidence, reducing hesitation, and helping you feel comfortable experimenting independently.

Depending on your needs, we can explore:

how to start a conversation with an AI tool
how to turn unclear thoughts into useful requests
how to recognize where AI can genuinely help
how to improve disappointing or inaccurate answers
how to verify information and avoid common mistakes
how to use AI safely without sharing sensitive information
how to choose between different AI tools without becoming overwhelmed
how to develop your own comfortable and practical way of using AI

No technical knowledge or programming experience is required. The goal is for you to leave the lesson feeling more confident, curious, and capable of continuing on your own.
Extra information
Please have access to a laptop or desktop computer. Before the lesson, think of one or two real tasks you would like AI to help you with. No technical knowledge, programming experience, paid subscription, or previous AI experience is required. We can choose and set up a suitable AI tool together during the lesson.

About Me
I help people take their first steps into AI in a calm, practical, and supportive way.

My teaching style is patient, personal, and focused on reducing confusion and resistance. I do not expect students to arrive with technical knowledge or confidence. We begin with their real questions, concerns, and goals, then explore AI together at a comfortable pace.

I especially enjoy helping people who feel overwhelmed, unsure where to begin, or worried that they are already behind. My goal is not only to explain the tools, but to help students feel capable of experimenting and continuing independently after the lesson.
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Sciences
Diploma in Network Communications and Cybersecurity
Ongoing professional development in generative AI, AI-assisted workflows, automation, and practical use of large language models.
Experience / Qualifications
I work as an Enterprise Support Engineer in the technology industry and regularly use AI tools for research, analysis, communication, troubleshooting, and workflow design.

My background combines behavioral sciences with network communications and cybersecurity, which helps me support both the human and technical sides of AI adoption.

I have practical experience with tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, as well as building AI-assisted workflows and personal projects. My strength is helping people reduce hesitation, understand how to approach AI, choose suitable tools, ask useful questions, evaluate responses, protect sensitive information, and become confident using AI in everyday life and work.

Hello,

After a 34-year career in systems engineering (including roles as AVP System Engineer & Product Owner at Moody's), I've learned one essential truth: technology is useless if it remains overly complex.

There is NO set curriculum or pre-defined syllabus: every session is 100% tailor-made. I adapt entirely to your request, your skill level, and your current objectives—whether that means gently discovering a new tool or solving a specific technical challenge.

My approach is built on clear, accessible guidance: no unnecessary jargon, no dull theory, and no prerequisites required. My goal is to make technology accessible, seamless, and immediately useful (if my experience helps you avoid a few costly surprises, then I’ve done my job).

Examples of what we can cover together:

Discover and Master AI (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, Veo, etc.)

Learn how to write clear prompts to get accurate results (prompt engineering).

Use AI to draft content, summarize documents, analyze data, or organize your daily work.

Understand best practices to use these tools securely.

Simplify and Automate Your Daily Tasks

Connect your collaborative tools (emails, files, calendars, M365 services) to eliminate repetitive actions.

Migrate to new M365 services smoothly.

Set up simple virtual assistants to save you time.

Optimize Your Digital Tools & Cloud Environment

Take control of your IT workspace, organize collaborative environments, and secure your access.

How?
We start with YOUR topics: a practical problem to solve, a project to bring to life, or a tool you want to master. Everything is explained clearly and patiently so that you leave every session with practical, actionable solutions.

Whatever your starting point or project, the course adapts to you—never the other way around.
