Hey guys, I have a pretty low rating since I'm new. I thought a nice way to boost it would be to give away free programming lessons. This and it would help others to unlock a massive abstract tool kit that they could use for whatever they want.

Ok, so how's this going to work. Simple. Message me on Skype and you're in! Lessons will be done between 6pm and 11pm (Timezone: London, England / GMT +0 or BST +1 in the summer months). All lessons will be conducted over Skype calls.

Woops, a few catches, the lessons will go on for 6 months and after 6 months you will be presented the opportunity to join a developer team. You may decline this offer if you wish. The second catch is that you must own a computer with the same or better specifications:

CPU: 2.0GHZ, 2 Cores
RAM: 2GB
Storage: 64GB Free Space
GPU: 1.0GHZ / OpenGL support
Monitor: 720p
Microphone: Recommended

Languages I teach: Java, C++, C#, Python

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

You don't even tell us what programming languages you're teaching.
Do you have a portfolio or any other proof that you're experienced with such languages?

The whole point of this is trying to create a portfolio, and thank you for noticing that I forgot to add a list of languages :p

The catch is I only want 12 students meaning the first 12 to contact me over Skype get the free lessons. Lessons will begin on the 10th September and that's your deadline to start.

Woops, another few catches, the lessons will go on for 6 months and after 6 months you will be presented the opportunity to join a developer team with 3 other class mates of yours. You may decline this offer if you wish. The second catch is that you must own a computer with the same or better specifications:

CPU: 2.4GHZ, 2 Cores
RAM: 2GB
Storage: 128GB
GPU: 1.0GHZ / OpenGL support
Monitor: 1080p

Languages I teach: Java, C++, C#, Python
