Private programming tutor: Interview preparation in Javascript, Python, C++

From 361.92 CNY /h

Professional software engineer with 6 years of experience. I offer private lessons to improve your success rate at programming competitions and code challenges.

For many aspiring professional programmers, solving a code challenge successfully can be the toughest part of an interview, and it can make the difference between passing to the next round of interviews or being passed on.

This can seem daunting and scary; and let's face it, most of the time it doesn't even reflect the work that you will be doing on a daily basis. But that is the way companies filter candidates. So, for your career's sake, it's more practical to just learn to play the game.

We will practice:
- Timed excercises
- Mock interviews
- Pair programming sessions
- Whiteboard mock interviews

The specific learning path depends on your particular experience, aspiring position and chosen language. I can help you with:

- C++
- Javascript / Typescript
- Python
- C#

Classes given in English or Spanish.

About Me

I currently live in Stockholm, Sweden and I come from Loja, Ecuador.

I'm profoundly curious and I like to learn new things. In that respect, teaching is also a path to understanding things on a deeper level.

Apart from computer science, I like to learn new languages (Swedish being the latest one), playing guitar, and learning about math and physics.

Education

My path has been an irregular one, as I didn't graduate from college :) but that hasn't been a problem in my career as an engineer so far, nor a blocker for pursuing intellectual growth.

Experience / Qualifications

I work as an engineer at Klarna, where I code in Javascript and I strive to keep the order in a web platform that keeps growing exponentially every year.

I enjoy competing in logic and programming challenges and I have won a couple, which also landed me my first programming job.

I have also coded servers, applications and machine learning experiments in Python, made games in Javascript using Phaser, in C# using Unity, and in C++ using SDL; For programming competitions I mostly use Python and Javascript.

Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

Adapted to each case and need, the objective is support in accessing a job, from the search for departure to the signing of the contract:
- After the search and selection of relevant advertisements, establish and illustrate your transversal skills profile then create an attractive CV and write a striking cover letter highlighting your professional background
- stand out in the preparation of their interviews, from oral presentation to expression through appropriate body language. Interview simulation & video analysis filmed if necessary.
- Identify your values, promote your professional project / your assets and strengths but also work on areas for improvement in order to find new momentum in your career.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. (study 2020)

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne.

But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: chat notes that can be read later).
In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place in a very optimal way and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours.

Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, specialized and has been working for more than 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking, in renowned international public and private institutions, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented towards pedagogy and careful methodology.

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life and to know how to identify digital traps.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

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 travel to the student's home or also conduct the lesson via Zoom/Google Meet.

Introduction to Linux as a work environment course.
This course is designed for people who want to use Linux productively in their daily work, whether as an alternative to Windows or macOS, or as their first introduction to free and open-source operating systems. We start from scratch and explain in an easy-to-understand way how a Linux system works, how the desktop, file system, and user management are organized, and how to install and use common software for everyday tasks. The goal is not just to learn how to "use" Linux, but to understand it well enough to work independently, securely, and efficiently.
