Programming in Python (primary to university education) taught by master HIR at the KUL. Programming experience as a Civil Computer Science Engineer. HIR, TEW and Bio-IRs have already been successfully assisted. ABOUT THIS LESSON: I offer tutoring in Python programming and mathematics for university and college students. I also support secondary school and primary school students in all scientific subjects. My focus is on the student being able to find the solution independently, step by step, and I help where necessary by providing mini-tips to help them reach the next step. This makes my method much more personalized than standard classroom teaching. For me, all learning starts with understanding each step and I have several methods/tools to present and clarify this. If it is difficult to understand, I explain it in a different way, in my own words, so that the material is certainly understood, as this is the first step towards fully mastering the material in the subjects I teach. This is followed by learning to devise and write code yourself, but if this is too difficult to write a complete solution in an empty program, I have a diagram/step-by-step plan and extra tips and tricks to work towards the final solution in a much more structured way. If you have taken lessons with me or are still taking them, you can always send me questions via chat between lessons and I will quickly help you as best as possible so that you can continue practicing on yourself. I just do this during one of my own study breaks and I enjoy doing it. ABOUT NICK: I am a 22-year-old master's student in Commercial Engineering at KU Leuven. I started tutoring my sister, nephews, nieces and friends and I get a lot of satisfaction from improving and helping others when they come to me for help. Because I have been tutoring consistently for several years, I have the right resources to present learning material in an understandable way and to strengthen the motivation, concentration and independent study of my students. I also studied civil engineering for 2 years and passed the Python programming subject in that course with flying colors. I stopped doing this because the rest of the course did not interest me enough. In commercial engineering I also had part of a Python course that was much easier and for which I therefore achieved a great distinction. I have already successfully helped quite a few Commercial Engineers, TEWs and Bio-Engineers, but other courses have also been positive about my help. Other directions can certainly contact me as well. High school students are of course also in the right place with me. I don't give up until I'm sure a student understands the material well enough and I see them making progress. By always appearing enthusiastic, I ensure that together we do not let the drudgery of difficult subjects get any further than the school desks. I am flexible in making appointments and am open to every student. I provide tutoring at your home (I can travel by car), at my home (Kampenhout), in my student room (Leuven) or online. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss the practical matters in more depth immediately. Together we can draw up a plan and work lesson by lesson to achieve your personal academic goals or those of your child.

I'm a working MEP engineer, currently building Python automation for Revit workflows daily - plan checks, model coordination, and repetitive drafting tasks. I teach other engineers, architects, and BIM professionals how to do the same, using pyRevit and real project workflows, not toy examples. Topics include: pyRevit fundamentals and setup Automating repetitive Revit tasks (model checks, plan generation, data extraction) Writing custom scripts for your firm's specific workflows Applying Python automation to real MEP/BIM projects

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.

I offer one-to-one Programming tuition in Python, C, and C++, for GCSE Computer Science, A-Level Computing, and university students studying engineering, computer science, or related subjects. Lessons are available online or in person around Birmingham. What I cover: Python for beginners and intermediate learners C and C++ programming GCSE and A-Level Computer Science (all exam boards) University coursework support, debugging help, and project guidance Core concepts: variables, loops, functions, data structures, object-oriented programming, file handling, basic algorithms How I teach: I start by understanding exactly where you are — whether that's "I've never coded before" or "I'm stuck on a specific assignment." Then I build lessons around small, practical examples you can actually run and modify yourself. I'm patient with errors (everyone gets them), and I make sure you understand the why behind the code, not just how to copy it. For university students, I can also help with debugging, code reviews, and explaining tricky concepts in plain English. If you or your child is preparing for exams, working on coursework, or just wants to finally feel comfortable with coding, I'd love to help.

My lessons help you move beyond simply copying code or using models as “black boxes.” You will learn how to define the problem correctly, prepare the data, select an appropriate algorithm, understand how it works, train and evaluate the model, diagnose errors, improve performance, and interpret results rigorously and responsibly. Each lesson is personalized according to your current level, mathematical background, programming experience, dataset, university work, research project, interview preparation, or professional objective. We begin by identifying your existing knowledge, software environment, expected outcomes, and main conceptual or technical difficulties. We then establish a structured learning plan. The first lesson combines a discussion of your background, objectives, and tutoring needs; an initial assessment of your current knowledge; personalized planning and organization of future sessions; and a short trial lesson to determine the most effective learning approach. A typical session may include conceptual explanation, development of mathematical intuition, live coding, guided implementation, model evaluation, technical problem solving, and a concise summary of the next steps. You may work with your own dataset, university assignment, research project, or professional problem, provided that confidential information is handled appropriately. I can also provide structured examples and datasets suited to your level. My goal is not simply to help you run an algorithm. It is to help you understand why it is appropriate, how it learns from data, how to evaluate it correctly, why it may fail, and how to build a reliable, interpretable, and scientifically rigorous solution.
