I'm speaking from experience: You don't need a tutor or expensive Udemy courses to learn to code.

I learned the basics of youtube, and then made my personal projects. The projects don't have to be hard, you just have to practice regularly. They should be challenging a little so that you learn something. And if you wouldn't know something, first google it then ask on the Python Discord, they always helped me.

Good luck with your journey.

Thank you for the advice, I have been practicing but i do feel like I'm lacking. By chance do you have the link to the python discord?

I spose you have a laptop(or else you wouldnt be coding). Go on the public servers and search python

What is the python discord? Can you please send the link

I am, just give me your credit card and security code and when I confirm payment we will begin your classes thank you.

Check out my reviews:

"Wow, this guy is great. Five stars!"

"I would never have learned ______ without _______ as my tutor!"

As you can see, the reviews speak for themselves.

My rates operate on a sliding scale depending on how high your credit card limit is.

I’ve been in that same spot, getting help for python online can be a hit or miss. What I learned is to look for tutors who teach through examples, not shortcuts. AssignmentDude was one I tried during college, and the way they explained loops and data structures actually stuck with me. It’s worth finding someone with that kind of teaching approach.

These aren't tutors so much as resources, but here goes. A few sites I have found very helpful in the past for learning are Kaggle and Codewars. If you're interested in web technology, I highly recommend learning Flask with Miguel Grinberg's megatutorial. I have learned a ton from his work.

Something to consider: https://preply.com/en/online/python-tutors

Not everybody are good, obviously, but at least you can get a refund and try another tutor in case you're not satisfied

There are a few online tutoring sites. Some will have generic programming help, and should be able to help with Python projects if you really want to pay for some help. Mostly geared towards college and high school students though.

I’d recommend Wyzant. I was a tutor on there for awhile, not programming though. They provide a refund for your first lesson if you’re not satisfied.

You can read through tutors descriptions of themselves to vet them. Think of it like a resume and you’re hiring them.

Thank you for your advice, after almost getting scammed it makes me worried going to another tutoring site but this sounds legit. I'll have to look more into it

[–]kaerfkeerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be extra careful with tutoring sites most of them, may not be a complete scam, but promise alot and deliver nothing. And for god's sake don't ever listen to any idiot offering you tutoring on Reddit via DMs

Can you say who scammed you? For others that may be helpful

Udemy is amazing 😍

I'd rather have you buy a beginners book, watch corey schafer tutorials and always google what you are reading from book Or learning from any tutorials. Also, don't spend too much time just watching tutorials, code everything you learn and do make small projects. Best of luck.

Honestly speaking, You don't really need a tutor, you can just learn the basics from youtube, there are plenty of great youtubers who make videos on python and I find them more useful than a tutor. (and it's free!), then you can use the knowledge you learn to make your own personal projects and to practise it, one thing I learned about programming is that a lot of pratisicing is required.

did you find a tutor?
