Private Programming Lessons - 4/Lesson

Private Programming Lessons
About Me​

Hi, my name's Ammar T and I teach programming, I'd been teaching for about 6 months when I made this thread and I'd just started to get the hang of how to approach people in a teaching environment; keeping the lessons engaging both educationally and providing an ample amount of amusement within the lessons. I did this by utilising a fairly informal manner of speech when in the lessons to allow us to engage on a more personal basis which helps to augment the learning experience. Now that I've been doing this for more than 4 years, I've learnt a lot more alongside my students about programming as well as about the way to approach my lessons.

Other than that I'm from the UK so time-zoning may be an issue for students from Australia and other such regions where weekend lessons would be the best option.

What I Teach​

I teach a multitude of high-level programming languages such as Java, C++, C# and Python; in each of these languages I have over 5 years of experience minimum. I do teach the Bukkit API but if basic Java hasn't been covered yet we will go over that before we start on it to avoid confusion (Personal experience). I can also teach game development in Java using LibGDX from which we can port to HTML5/JS, PC/Mac/Linux and Android.

Lessons​

Lessons are conducted over Skype using the screen-share feature and neither a microphone nor speakers/headphones are necessary but both are strongly recommended. The lessons last roughly an hour each however they can spill over this limit free of charge.

Pricing​

I like to keep my pricing fair and affordable and so I charge £4/lesson. Payment can be sent over PayPal or using this link if you'd prefer to use a credit/debit card. There are some offers if lessons are bought in bulk and are as follows:

• 10 lessons - £35
• 20 lessons - £65
• 30 lessons - £90
• 40 lessons - £115
• 50 lessons - £130
• 60 lessons - £150
• 1 lesson / week - £3 / week
• 5 lessons / month - £15 / month
• 10 lessons / month - £27.50 / month
• 20 lessons / month - £55 / month
• 30 lessons / month - £75 / month

Hello Ammar T, I like the look of this.
I think it would be a great idea to add maybe your GitHub and some of your students work, so we can see what they have learnt from you.

That's a very good idea actually, I personally dislike GitHub (it may or may not be because Git doesn't want to work on my PC ), however I do like to present a few of my personal projects that I'm currently working on in my trial lessons. At the moment though, I'm quite focused with Sixth Form so a lot of my projects are on the back-burner currently. Thanks for the suggestion however!

Regarding your interest, I've PMed you my Discord so we can talk further about it .

Sounds incredible. Might look into this in the near future and what you're doing, sharing your knowledge with others is such a nice thing to do.

Thanks! I try to make my lessons as affordable as possible, I'd like to think I offer the cheapest 1-1 teaching you can find for Java online.

How many lessons from you would get me fluent?

From experience, it takes around 40 lessons to get fluent - spread over around 2 to 3 months. This is alongside practice in your own time as well of course.

 

[Ammar T]

4 * 40 = 160 making it rain bro $$$$$$$ but well worth indeed yes yes yes

Hopefully, if you complete the course, you'll be "making in rain" in your own regard . Also, the course is cheaper when bought in bulk, 40 lessons is only £120 as opposed to £160 if bought in one go.

 

[Ammar T]

How long is a lesson?

Each lesson is roughly an hour long.

 

[Ammar T]

Are you still doing this?

Yes, PM me!

 

[Saaami]

Is it possible to be taught on Discord screen share? Or is it just Skype?

What are all of the languages you feel you are fully able to teach, and how much would you charge to take someone from 0% to 100% in said language?

 

[Ammar T]

What are all of the languages you feel you are fully able to teach, and how much would you charge to take someone from 0% to 100% in said language?

Both great questions - I teach Java, C++, C# and Python, and the cost for taking someone from 0 to 100% (excluding Computer Science principles that aren't essential) is 35 lessons which is £105
