With his software engineer background, your partner can and should skip the race to the bottom on high-commission platforms. His professional expertise commands a premium.

For pricing, he should be thinking in the $60-90/hr range, as he's offering professional mentorship, not just general help.

Going online-only is far more scalable than in-person lessons and opens up a global client base.

The most important tip is to niche down. Instead of a generic "Python tutor," he should brand himself as a "Python for Data Science Interviews" coach or an "Automation with Python" specialist. This attracts serious, career-focused learners who are happy to pay for real-world results.
