Ask HN: Finding a tutor for front-end coding.

2 pointsby bulletmagnetover 12 years ago
After a more than 10 year long hiatus spent in the business side of technology, I'm looking to get my hands dirty again. I used to be fairly competent in HTML/CSS/JS but I'm finding it hard to get back in the saddle again. I am reading books and taking tutorials about HTML5, CSS3 and JS frameworks like Backbone, but I find myself a bit overwhelmed by trying to learn too many things at the same time and also a bit directionless.<p>Then I remembered seeing or reading about coders earning some extra cash tutoring high school kids, and I thought that's kind of what I need: structured environment, project-based learning, one-on-one interaction - even though I am far from being a high school kid (my wife may disagree at times).<p>Have you taught coding one-on-one before? How was your experience? What are the hourly rates I should expect to pay? How to find a good tutor? If you think this would be a good gig for you, don't hesitate to contact me - I'm in NYC/Brooklyn if it matters (doing it remotely is definitely an option, but I am tending towards a face-to-face thing).
