Idir

Hi, I'm Idir. I'm a former university lecturer now moving toward setting up an edtech business . But I want to keep teaching! /*** Able to teach: programming in Java/Python (Beginners), Javascript/PHP (up to Intermediate) . Beginner level Web Development (HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, modern frameworks: React/VueJS, Laravel). Networking & cybersecurity (to intermediate level). Introduction to Computer Science concepts (hardware/software, fundamentals of data structures/algorithms, namespacing & parsing flow, scope, runtime vs. compilation. I have 8 years teaching at the university level. Empathy for the learner is the core- we all need context, patience and framing. - Alongside following formal curricula, I like to use 'real world' simulator/practical tools to teach and there are plenty of them in the tech world. It's the best way to 'see' what you learn in books/class. - Have been upskilling in tech for 3 years. -Just finished UoGloucestershire Bootcamp on cybersec/data formalising extensive learning of my own over past years. -In tech, more that ever and more than many other subjects, the foundations of knowledge are ever-changing... the patterns, frameworks, and practices of even 2 years ago become quickly ancient. Some principles, and broader architectural/philosophical approaches do persist, but change is very common. Being a teacher in tech is also, more than any other subject, also about being a learner. - My strengths are: cybersecurity, networking principles and practices (OSI model, CIA triad), linux/server environments, modern web-dev frameworks (VueJS, React, NodeJs, Laravel), mySQL database design, ethics/law/politics/philosophy of cyber-space. - Also solid on: OOP higher-level languages (Java and Python) from an architectural view (polymorphism, namespacing etc) - All ages welcome. 1 hr lessons but I am flexible on that (flexible times through the week also)
