About Hassan
If you've watched 20 hours of Python tutorials and still can't write a program from scratch — that's not your fault. That's tutorial hell, and it's exactly what I help you escape.
Here's what makes my approach different: my core background is in C++, one of the lowest-level, most demanding languages in computer science. That matters for you because when I teach Python, I don't teach it as magic syntax to memorize. I teach you what the computer is actually doing — why Object-Oriented Programming is designed the way it is, why Python behaves the way it does under the hood.
I've applied Python in Computer Networks labs (socket programming, packet parsing) and AI labs (data preprocessing, model architecture, algorithm implementation). I know the difference between Python that works and Python that makes sense.
When you understand the why, the syntax stops being something you memorize and becomes something you reason through. That's the shift — and once you've made it, you can learn any language.

Most Python tutors teach you Python. I teach you how to think in code — and that difference changes what you can do when our sessions end.
My C++ background means I understand what Python is actually doing beneath the surface, and I teach it that way. If you don't feel a genuine improvement in your understanding after 4 sessions, I'll refund you in full — no questions asked.
This course is built for two kinds of students:
Absolute beginners escaping tutorial hell — you've watched the videos, followed along, understood it in the moment, but the second you close the tab you're lost. You need someone to build with you, not at you.
CS and engineering students who freeze at a blank file — you understand the theory but can't translate it into working code when it counts.
You're in the right place if:
— You can follow a tutorial but can't start a project from scratch
— OOP (classes, inheritance, methods) feels abstract and confusing
— You know what you want the code to do but don't know how to write it
— Your university lab instructions assume knowledge you were never given
— You've been copy-pasting from Stack Overflow and it makes you feel like a fraud
Every session has three parts:
Understand: We start on a digital whiteboard. I sketch the underlying logic visually — how data flows, how an algorithm steps through a list. You see the concept before you touch the keyboard.
Build: We move to VS Code Live Share. You write the code; I guide your thinking. We build something real — a script, a class, a data structure, a mini-project. When something breaks, we debug it together. That's where real learning happens.
Reinforce: One small, targeted coding challenge for between sessions — focused on exactly what we covered, designed to take 20–30 minutes, not hours.
My C++ background means I teach Python differently from most tutors. You won't just learn what works — you'll understand why it works. That understanding is what lets you learn any future language easily.
Tools:
VS Code + Live Share — write, run, and debug code together in real time
Digital Whiteboard — trace variables, map logic, visualize how Python thinks
Before our first session: tell me what you're stuck on. A topic, a lab, an error message, or "I'm a complete beginner." I'll come prepared.
Recommendations

I know Hassan Abaid as a dedicated and helpful Computer Science student and a friend. We have worked together on academic tasks, and I have seen how clearly he explains concepts, especially for beginners.
He is patient, supportive, and makes learning easy to understand. I highly recommend him as a tutor because he genuinely cares about helping students improve and succeed.See more recommendations
