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.

I vouch for this guy greatly.I don't know him a great deal but from what I know he is like a walking, talking textbook of knowledge. Seems like a nice person too.

How much longer do you plan to be doing this for? I may buy some lessons in a few weeks.

Not everyone likes CodeAcademy, it's a useful resource and most know about it but it's not the same as learning from a teacher. From experience trying both at a much younger age I found that a teacher can pass on a lot more knowledge than a pre-programmed course.

$4 per lesson isn't meant to be expensive. Most private tutoring costs $20 onward per lesson going up to around $200 for the best teachers. I'd say my rate of $4 per lesson is quite affordable as that was my original objective.

To put it into perspective, if I'd worked at a code-house for the same amount of time I've been teaching I'd have made my money ten-fold easily and I've gotten offers to work for these rates but I'm passionate about what I do.

I hope this shines at least some light on to the real world and how it works instead of the fantasy world where everything is free you seem to dwell in.

I am very excited I came across this thread as I am looking to start to code/develop. Is there a way I can get 1 lesson for free to see what it is like if you hand them out? I don't have any money at the moment but If I enjoy doing this lesson I will probably get some taken out and buy 10+ lessons. I will get back to you probably within a week or before with an update feel free to reply.

Sure, go for it .

What would you recommend for a person who doesnt know anything about java and wants to create bukkit plugins. How much lessons should I buy.

I'd say around 30 to 35 lessons, PM me for more details if you're interested.
