Create fun games and interactive programs in Python (adults)

From 48 € /h

Python is easier to learn and understand than other programming languages. Its instructions are simple and easily readable with a clean syntax which doesn't really involve complex coding. However simple and easy to learn, Python can be used to create the highly interactive programs.

This course aims to engage learners with little or even no previous programming experience. The programme for beginners starts with an introduction to the basic fundamentals of Python (expressions, conditionals, and functions). Then, as the course progresses, learners will be able to combine Python commands and modules like Pygame, Matplotlib, Numpy and Tkinter to implement their ideas and develop skills like computational thinking, creativity and problem solving.

The content and pace of the course is adapted to the age and needs of the learners.

Extra information

Learners will need a laptop to practise with exercises and create their own programs.

About Me

As a teacher specialized in programming and ICT, I provide material and resources for the development of analytical, critical, and computational thinking, while also encouraging my students to be creative. I design activities for the cultivation of interpersonal and social skills and a team-working ethos, which are essential for establishing a culture of mutual respect and cooperation. Furthermore, I aim to develop and foster a secure IT environment and an e-safe culture.

I have designed and implemented programming courses not only for young but also adult learners. Some of those courses do not require prior programming experience while some others are more advanced so that learners can choose the one best suited to their needs.

Since 2014, I have also been authorized to teach Maths in light of my mathematical background from my university studies. Therefore, in addition to my computer programming courses, I offer primary and secondary maths lessons.

Python is a programming language with a simple syntax, similar to the English language. It allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages. It can be used in many areas such as web development, mathematics, science, education and general purpose software development.

This course aims to demonstrate how Python can be used to create solutions to real-life problems or programs that can be used to faciltate tasks performed at school, in a workplace or at home. It aims to engage not only learners with advanced programming experience but also those who have little or not any experience at all. Creative and critical thinking are continuously encouraged during the lessons.

Relevant topics:
- Input/Output

My name is Ségolène (26 years old). I have a double degree from KULeuven with a Master of Business Administration (NL/EN) as well as the agrégation (Educatieve Master). I worked for 2 years in insurance and currently work at Odoo.

My mother tongue is French, but from a very young age, I was educated in Dutch, which allowed me to become perfectly bilingual. I love supporting my students and seeing them progress. I offer academic support in any subject but also to help them learn how to learn, become better organized, and gain confidence.

MY EXPERIENCE :

I helped several students to pass the CE1D exam in Dutch (written, oral, listening comprehension). In addition, I also assisted students with their homework and for various subjects at secondary level (Maths, Handel (commerce), Sciences: WO, NW...).
Finally, it is also possible for younger children to learn Dutch in a fun way (language games, educational games).

During a test carried out on the CLL site to assess my level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 or C2), I obtained the result C2: "The student expresses himself appropriately in n' any situation, by dominating the linguistic and cultural elements proper to a native speaker and by knowing how to distinguish shades of meaning."

Graduate of general secondary and soon student to the superior,
I offer tutoring, tutoring in all subjects for primary and secondary students.

These courses can be one-off or regular with follow-up.

I also propose the options Maths strong and Sciences strong, as well as Latin (my previous options).

Do you have problems in math, science, languages (Dutch / English / Latin) or in other subjects?

Contact me to set a date that suits you for the 1st class.

I am comfortable with children, being a regular babysitter and facilitator.

My method is based on the needs and demands of the student, his parents.

You tell me what are your difficulties in a subject or questions less successful: I explain the tips, we do exercises and I correct them with you or for the next course.

French is not only a language, it's also a culture :)

I sincerely believe you cannot really master a language if you don't take a deep dive into what makes it unique and living, and by that I mean undergoing so many transformations as we speak it everyday. I am as much interested in sharing this culture and this language that I love so much, as I am in learning from you and what you can teach me. If we do that in French (but English can help as a support, I will help you translate what you mean in French), then I believe spectacular progress is to be expected !

I am a motivated and enthusiastic teacher who will be dedicated to you or your children's success at school. I studied Latin for 5 years and Ancient greek for 3 years at a Belgian High School. Afterward, I continued my education at an international school (UWC) where the International Baccalaureate was taught, focusing on English Literature, Philosophy, and History. Hence I am fluent in French and English and can tutor in both languages. I am currently studying to earn a bachelor's degree at ESADE in politics, economics, and international law. I am also taking classes in English literature on the side.
Not only will I be helping students in all subjects of secondary school but I will also help them to create strategies to work better and enjoy learning. My ultimate goal for every student is that eventually, they would not need me anymore as I would have given them all the necessary tools to succeed by themselves.

Hello,
I am starting as a private English teacher because I recently had the experience of giving lessons to a 7 year old child for 6 months where I created all kinds of games and activities that I dream of reusing. He was very happy about it and so were his parents. It also greatly blossomed for me as a teacher and my deepening of the language.
I took English lessons for a month in Glasgow and developed my oral skills for 4 months in Vancouver thereafter. While staying in Brussels, I continued my advanced learning at EPFC and having knowledge with whom I speak exclusively in English, I practice daily.
For the sake of precision, and confidence with the student, I prefer to teach children, adolescents and in tutoring. I am an internship facilitator, so I am used to taking care of children of all ages and in contact with them.
Do not hesitate to contact me, I remain at your disposal for any questions or for a course.

I provide online reading sessions to children who are learning to read in English and/or who would like to practise their reading skills with a native English speaker. I have extensive experience teaching English to young learners, in particular, in teaching children to read using the Jolly Phonics programme. Each reading session lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes and includes written feedback of the session, and access to online materials e.g. pdf levelled books, worksheets or links to useful resources.

🇬🇧Hello! I'm Susana, delighted to meet you. I was born in Spain and I'm currently studying journalism in Brussels. I have a good level of English and French too. I am looking forward to teaching you and helping you to learn a new language. My classes will always be fun and enjoyable. I can adapt to your schedule according to your needs. No matter the age for the course, from children to adults: it's never too late to start!

Who the courses are for: anyone who wants to learn English from scratch or who wants to improve their level of English (up to B2). I am also happy to teach children.

The location: I would like the location not to be too far from the city, preferably in a library or a quiet place. I can also teach at home, but this will have to be discussed with my roommates.

Availability: I do not yet know the final hours of my internship, but in principle I will not be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. From then on, I am available, especially on weekends.

The method: At the beginning, it is a good idea to do a test according to the level you want to achieve in order to determine which are the most important aspects to improve. Then the lessons will be organized according to the student's personal or professional interests, because I think it is more effective and more fun to learn a language when you combine learning with something you love. I will use my creativity to promote smooth and engaging learning.

My goal is to restore confidence, explain things differently when necessary, and turn challenges into real successes. I primarily prepare students for the CE1D exam. First, we work together on each skill assessed during this test. Then, I guide the student through the practice of all these skills so they can approach the exam in its entirety with confidence and method.
Regarding the price, if you have financial difficulties, do not hesitate to inform me, we will find a solution. Money has never been a problem for me, the main thing is that your child improves his level and passes his exams.
