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.

Excellent teacher!
Fantastic! Ilias really prepared well and took the time to understand what my son needed. He was very positive and encouraging and we look forward to the next lesson!
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.

This course aims to engage learners with little or no programming experience to create Java programs. Participants are introduced to object-oriented programming concepts, terminology and syntax, and the steps required to create basic Java programs using the Alice and Eclipse interactive development environments. Hand-on practice enables learners to experience the power of computer programming.
The JavaTM programming language can be challenging for computer programmers with limited or no experience in object-oriented programming. To provide an easy introduction to Java, Alice is explored first in this course, so that fundamental principles and skills are established using 3D animations in a fun, visually rich environment.
When learners become familiar with the concepts of object-oriented programming, they can proceed with the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE), which is widely used in computer programming. It contains a basic workspace and an extendable plug-in system for customising the environment.

Mathematics, statistics and programming courses from primary to higher education.Mathematics is fascinating because it finds applications in all areas of human activity as well as in the observation and study of natural phenomena. As Galileo said, the book of natural laws is written in mathematical language. And yet, too often, they are taught in an uninviting way with rote recitation instead of seeking to awaken the (natural) curiosity of the learner. All humans, in their early childhood, have gone through the "why" phase. This phase proves the natural curiosity and the taste for seeking to understand how the world around us works. That's what math is all about: curiosity and the taste for seeking to understand how systems work. Whether they are numerical, geometric, or information systems like the ones we use every day. Every prompt or query you type into your favorite language model (whether American, Chinese, or European) is automatically transformed into a mathematical statistical calculation to be processed by artificial intelligence. In short, math is everywhere, so we might as well rediscover our natural curiosity to better understand it and its usefulness.

Data Recovery Help & File Format Reverse EngineeringYou found an old file—something important, maybe even sentimental—but your computer just won’t open it. Or maybe you’re dealing with a custom software system that uses a weird, proprietary format. What now?
I specialize in rescuing, translating, and reverse-engineering data formats that most people don’t even recognize. Whether it’s a corrupted calendar file from a PDA or a bizarre export from a dead program, I approach it like a digital archaeologist.
It’s not magic—it’s patience, logic, and deep technical skill. If something should work but doesn’t, let me figure out why.

Private coding / programming lessons with pythonPython 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.
