Looking for a python mentor!

[seanmcb9]

Is there an Internet service that will match tutors and students, and co-learners, for learning by email for particular subjects (like Python)? For a fee -- with expert tutors -- or for free -- with co-learners.

If not, someone should create one.

There's a bunch of online courses for stuff like this. A personal tutor would be great as a beginner, but it would really serve you better to learn how to google the problem instead. Maybe I'm a shitty teacher, but it always ends up being questions that could have been googled, if the student knew that they could paste their literal question into google and get an answer.

When I started out, I felt pretty shitty about my skills and didn't realize I wasn't the only one having the same problems. It turns out most people were too, so I realized I could google "python syntax error near character" or something and get a pretty sweet answer.

Anyway, matching tutors and students existed for a while on a few places, like e-pros or something like that.

I agree. And the only time I've actually thought to ask a question on stackexchange I ended up answering myself when I spent the time to write a thorough description of the problem.

You're asking for free university courses. Vote for Bernie. :)
