Having obtained my Engineering degree in June 2018 and currently working as a Software Engineer in an IT company, I want to share my knowledge acquired during my studies with people of all ages in the Brussels region. My goal is to help my students approach the subject from a different angle so that they feel more comfortable and confident. I adapt my lessons to everyone by combining theory, exercises and practical examples. This period is ideal for getting back up to speed and possibly adopting a new working methodology in order to best approach the end of year session. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

The more detail, the better.

Pierre-Hadrien
Experienced EPFL tutor for computer programming courses (Java / Python / C)
This course is intended for those who want to start, begin or improve their programming. I can easily teach you the basics of programming in Java, Python, C but help you improve or even help you on a programming project. I practice programming since I was 14 years old and I created several projects, from high school to higher education. This course is therefore intended for all levels, for people wishing to start but also for middle school or high school students who need help in their lessons. I have already taught programming and project monitoring courses in Java and would be happy to help you achieve your goal, adapting to the level and pace / pedagogy needed by anyone. Classes take place mainly at my home or on the EPFL campus, I can also travel by public transport to your home.

READING AND BASIC COMPUTER LESSONS FOR PRESCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL
This class will be prioritizing the learner's reading skills specially for preschoolers, computer basics and the different lessons, activities and assignments for elementary school level. Basic computer skills are essential for employability and efficiency in today's digital age. Many job positions require basic computer skills like email, Microsoft Office, and internet navigation. Having these skills can increase job prospects and opportunities. Reading teaches children about the world around them and helps them to model what happens in various situations. By reading a variety of books, children can learn about people, places, and events outside of their own experience and develop the skills to deal with something new. Helping learners do their assignments will give them a chance to apply their knowledge, which helps reinforce what they've learned. By actively engaging with the subject matter, they'll solidify their understanding and develop practical skills. Development of Critical Thinking Skills: Assignments often require them to think critically.

Mastering IT for your daily needs
Hello, You are an adult and you need the technology to take steps or take actions. But it seems difficult to see insurmountable on your own. Arm with your notebook, you would like us to explain you step by step and know how to reproduce in order to gain confidence and autonomy! That's good, I'm able to guide you and explain what the platforms / sites expect from you! For example, how to lighten a file so that it is accepted on official sites? What are the different file formats? What are the tips to save time or make your job easier? I have a European license for computer graphics (design using the computer) and the handling and use of the different software (in French and in English) does not scare me. I have been helping those around me for many years, I have also learned to create tutorials. The language barrier is not a barrier. I have patience, curiosity and I am a teacher. And above all, I will create real situations drawn from our learning in order to assess your progress, give feedback and anchor your new skills! Take a first lesson in order to get to know each other and understand your needs, whether they are one-off or part of a longer course. Hope to meet you ! Amandine
