Ask HN: Finding a Programming Tutor

1 pointsby whatevermom3 months ago
I am looking for a programming tutor for my girlfriend.<p>I found Codementor, but the cost is 80$&#x2F;hour, which is definitely out of my budget.<p>Does anyone have a better idea ? I would be very grateful. Cheers

The best CS-for-beginners course is Harvard&#x27;s CS50. (And you can take it for free online through EdX.) It&#x27;s fun, but you learn a lot, and you get actual coding experience with coding tools.<p>There&#x27;s a lot of free online support that comes with it - Reddit, plus virtual &quot;section&quot; videos, etc.

I can do it for one dollar per hour. We&#x27;ll teach her how to do some scripting and browser extensions. And at the end she will be a basic coder. However, I will only teach if your girlfriend actually wants to learn to program.

Do you have a budget? I&#x27;m sure that would help narrow down the search for you.

I can help with that. 30 usd an hour.
