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

​

Spoiler: Terms of Service

• The number of lessons given is perishable on timed packages meaning that if lessons are not used by the end of the month, they do not carry over to the next month.
• Refunds are under my discretion. Any unauthorized charge-backs made will result in a Scam Report being made and a response to any PayPal claims you have made; linking this page and it's TOS in.
• It is the student's responsibility to message me about lessons.
• Terms of Service are subject to change at any time.
• By purchasing any package from me, you automatically agree to the Terms of Service.

​

As an extra note, I do accept equivalent CS:GO skins as well (Reasonable bounds, cheaper by a few GBP).
Any chargebacks will result in a Scam Report being filed against you and legal action being taken due to the breaking of the Terms of Services.

How long is each lesson? I may be interested.

Each lesson lasts as long as it takes to cover 1 topic, whether that be 20 minutes or 2 hours.

Ask Isaiah, he's a developer who's been under my tutelage and can vouch for me. Archie was also my student however he seems to have taken a darker path leading to him getting banned which troubles me, there are a few other examples but quite a few of my students have taken a wrong turn somewhere and ended up getting banned. A surprising number of people have given up of learning Java because of family and monetary issues which are quite unfortunate and have rendered them incapable of completing the course.

To answer your second question, to create a decent-sized plugin, I'd recommend trying my new monthly course ($20 / month for 10 lessons each month) based upon my old system which was highly successful, it'll probably take around 40 lessons / 4 months on the monthly system plus an extra few months of experience in Java development (not specifically Minecraft-related) to be able to create plugins of a range of complexities.

How would you decide the length of the lessons?

Each lesson is the time taken to cover a topic, usually around 20 minutes.

Any chance I could have a first lesson free? I don't have any spare cash right now to pay for a lesson, although I'm intrigued to see what they are like and if I'd want to pay for some in the future! Skype - fakexpower

Vouch! Amazing teacher. Although I've only done two lessons with him, he's taught me quite a bit so far!
