About Houssam

Hello, my name is Houssam. I am a computer science student from Morocco with a strong background in programming and mathematics. I had the honor of representing my country in the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), the most prestigious programming competition in the world for high school students. This experience not only deepened my technical expertise but also sharpened my problem-solving and algorithmic thinking skills at an international level. In addition to my achievements in computer science, I studied Advanced Mathematics for two years, which provided me with a solid foundation in logical reasoning and abstract thinking. These skills are essential not only for competitive programming but also for teaching programming concepts in a clear and structured way. Over the years, I have tutored numerous Moroccan students in programming and mathematics. My teaching approach is highly professional and effective: I focus on simplifying complex ideas, encouraging active problem-solving, and building confidence through hands-on practice. I adapt my lessons to each student’s level and goals, whether they are complete beginners or already have some experience in coding. My passion lies in sharing knowledge and inspiring younger students to explore the world of programming, algorithms, and game development. By combining theory with practical projects, I make sure my students not only understand the concepts but also enjoy the learning process.

As a tutor, my approach is based on making programming both accessible and exciting. I believe students learn best when theory is paired with hands-on practice, so I focus on interactive projects, real-world examples, and problem-solving challenges that spark creativity.

Teaching method and techniques :
· I start by breaking down complex concepts into simple, relatable explanations.
· I use games, mini-projects, and visual examples to help students connect programming logic to things they already enjoy.
· I encourage students to experiment, make mistakes, and learn by debugging. This builds confidence and independence in coding.

A typical lesson plan :
· Warm-up: Quick recap or fun challenge to review previous material.
· Concept introduction: Clear explanation with examples.
· Guided practice: Working together on a coding exercise.
· Independent task: Student creates or modifies a small project.
· Wrap-up: Reflection on what was learned and preview of the next lesson.

What sets me apart as a tutor
· I am not only a computer science student but also an indie game developer, which means I bring practical, creative, and industry-relevant experience.
· I combine academic knowledge with hands-on project building, so students see immediate results from their learning.
· I understand how to keep programming engaging for younger learners by turning lessons into an exploration rather than just theory.

Who the lessons are for :

· Middle and high school students curious about programming.
· Beginners who want to learn coding from scratch.
· Students who already know some basics and want to dive deeper into C++, Python, C#, or video game development.
· Learners interested in building games, applications, or preparing for future studies in computer scienc
