LernerPython blog, from Reuven Lerner: Get Python help, one on one: my coaching sessions

Wait 5 sec.

Some of the most satisfying work I do happens one on one. You arrive with a real problem from your real job — code that will not behave, an architecture you are unsure about, a Git situation that has you stuck — and an hour later it is smaller, or gone.I have offered these private coaching sessions for years, mostly to people who thought to ask. What I never did was describe them properly anywhere, which is a strange way to run something I enjoy this much.So: I’ve now set up a page all about my coaching, at lernerpython.com/personal-coaching. Take a look — and if you need this kind of help, let’s talk!What happens in an hourWhatever you need. The session is yours, and people use it in very different ways:You show me code you have written, and I tell you what I would change and why.We plan a project before you write any of it, which is usually cheaper than planning it afterward.We pair-program through a problem that has had you stuck for days.You ask me the Git questions you have been quietly avoiding since 2019.We work out where Claude Code actually fits into the way you already work.You talk through a career decision, an interview, or what to learn next.You do not need an agenda, or a tidy repository, or a well-formed question. “Here is my code, and here is what confuses me” has started plenty of excellent sessions.Two things that make it workIt is private. Your code, your employer’s code, the architecture you are unsure about, the concept you feel you should have learned years ago: none of it goes anywhere. Ask me the question you would never ask in a public forum. That is rather the point of meeting one on one.You get a recording. Nobody thinks clearly while taking notes. When we finish, I send you the video of the session, along with anything we built together — code, notes, a diagram, a Jupyter/Marimo notebook, a CLAUDE.md, or just a plan. It’s all yours to keep, and to use as you see fit.What it costs, and what it does not requireA session is one hour on Zoom, for $300.It has nothing to do with a LernerPython membership. You do not need to be a member, and booking a session does not sign you up for anything else. One hour, one payment, no obligation. If it helps and you want another in a month, book another; most people book once, get unstuck, and carry on.Let’s talk!Pick a time on my calendar, or read the details first on the coaching page.If nothing on the calendar suits you, e-mail me at reuven@LernerPython.com and we will find a time that does. I am happy to get up early or stay up late for a session like this, wherever in the world you are. Ask, and we will work it out.And if you are not sure whether your problem is a good fit for an hour, e-mail me and ask. I will tell you honestly, even when the answer is that you don’t need me.The post Get Python help, one on one: my coaching sessions appeared first on LernerPython.
