Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

Teaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

• What is the role of a school coach? As a professional, support young people between 12 and 25 years old, in their personal and more particularly school career, when they want to make a change.

• So, if the topics covered are orientation, motivation, self-confidence and working methods, it will be all about defining an objective and defining the steps to achieve it, based on tools and specific methods, a neutral and benevolent position and its very specific questions.

• It is therefore a question of seeing more clearly, decoding and analyzing in order to manage what is blocking, to learn to go beyond one's limits independently, by relying on internal and external resources and by determining the steps to achieve this. his rhythm.

• If the work of the coach with the parents consists in better accompanying them to understand and support their children in their generation, the work of the coach with the young person is different: By listening as well as the tools / suggestions proposed as well as the attention given to the emotions experienced, it is a question of reinforcing his motivation to get involved in his role, to develop the desired skills, in line with his professional project, through the recognition and valuation of his own talents.

Thus, it is a question of acquiring and then deploying pragmatic tools and methods in order to:
• Support young people with high potential and / or hypersensitivity
• Know yourself better (values, desires, needs, motivations, talents, etc.)
• Gain awareness and esteem
• Pass exams
• Better manage stress and emotions related to exams and gain self-confidence
• Better manage your workload, projects, time and priorities
• Prepare for exams, optimize your organization, find your creative levers
• Improve your relationship with others, your communication, team spirit
• Dare to assert oneself while respecting one's values
• Build and realize your professional project
• Overcome your difficulties, your potential and become aware of the opportunities that may be offered.
• Integrate didactic learning skills and self-knowledge, in addition to skills and coaching tools
• Support young people on different themes such as social integration, relationship with oneself and with others, the meaning of learning, organization, orientation choices, construction of a project

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions*. (*study 2022)

THE COACH - TRAINER:

* This digital training aims to introduce you to the Scratch tool and through the game world, and gradually, to discover programming concepts such as loops, conditions or variables. It is aimed at anyone who is new to Scratch and who wants to create games and animations.

* Learning programming will allow students to develop their skills and will certainly allow them to meet the expectations of the future working world and emerging careers.

* In addition, learning programming allows the development of algebraic, algorithmic and computational thinking. Programming also helps to improve and develop students' sequencing ability, as well as their communication skills. Thus, there are several advantages to teaching programming, but the important thing is to remember that this learning teaches students that digital is not only for entertainment, but that it is possible to become creators. active and creative content.

April 2026: In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students.

Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English.

My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual.

For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

*Goal: To understand artificial intelligence without fear, use it to simplify life, and uncover digital traps.*

### **1: Demystifying Artificial Intelligence (What Exactly Is It?)**

* **Artificial intelligence is not a "movie robot":** The fundamental difference between science fiction and practical reality.
* **How it works (simply):** Imagine a "giant library"; AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the completion of a sentence or create a new image.
* **Where do we use it now?** The spell checker, Netflix and YouTube suggestions, GPS navigation, and voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa.

---

### **2: Using artificial intelligence to make your life easier**

* **Interacting with artificial intelligence (ChatGPT, Cloud, Gemini):**
* Writing formal emails or complex letters.
* Summarizing long articles or huge documents.
* Plan travel itineraries or create food recipes from ingredients available in the refrigerator.

* **Creativity and Memory:**
* Create creative images for greeting cards (via Midjourney or DALL-E).
Restoring and coloring old family photos.

3: The art of speaking to the machine (the Prompt skill)**

* **Context Style:** Why is the phrase "Give me a cake recipe" less effective than "I have a gluten allergy and I'm having 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".
* **Role-taking:** Learn to ask the artificial intelligence to "speak like a tourism expert" or "answer me like a specialized agricultural engineer."

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (A Survival Guide)**

Digital hallucinations:** Understand that artificial intelligence may confidently present false information (never rely on it for medical or legal advice without verification).
Privacy protection
Do not share sensitive data (ID numbers, passwords, bank details).
Be aware that everything you write may be used to train systems in the future.

Detecting deepfakes:**
How to identify fake photos or videos (examine hand details, strange reflections, or metallic sound).
* The golden rule: Verify by cross-referencing different sources.

5: Ethics and Impact (A Future Perspective)**

Copyright: Who owns the image created by artificial intelligence?
Environmental impact: Water and energy consumption in large data centers.
The future: Will artificial intelligence replace us or will it be an assistant to us?

Additional tip:** Since you are targeting the Gulf region, it is preferable to use terms such as "Digital Transformation" and "Innovation" at the beginning of your presentation, as they are very catchy words for decision-makers there.

I teach film acting classes with a focus on acting for film, TV, and commercials. In these classes, you will learn how to act naturally and believably in front of the camera, with attention to subtlety, timing, and awareness of framing and shots.

We work with text and scenes, with an emphasis on script interpretation, emotional build-up, and developing authentic acting for various formats. You will learn how to adapt your acting to commercials (clear and direct) and to film and series (layered and subtle).

The lessons are tailored to your playing level, so that you can develop at your own pace and work specifically on your strengths and areas for improvement.

Thanks to my experience as both an actor and a director, you will gain insight not only into acting but also into how a set works. I will guide you through the practical side of the field, such as auditions, self-tapes, collaborating with the director and camera, and what is expected of you on a shooting day.

The lessons are personal and aimed at developing self-confidence and camera acting skills. Suitable for both children and adults.

The lessons can be given in Dutch or English.
