We offer group tutoring in our Pro plan to help with regular practice. Did you know that the completion rate of an online computer science course is ~5%? So, ~95% of people don’t get to the end of the course and drop it as soon as they reach a challenging topic.
With regular group tutoring sessions, learners get unstuck and progress faster. The sessions are also a great way to make friends in the community of learners. This really helps with keeping the motivation high.

All the concepts are explained with many supplementary exercises to make sure you fully master the material. So, the content is pretty in-depth. Besides having free courses, the platform also provides a way of signing up for group tutoring sessions to make sure the students make consistent progress and not get stuck halfway. Most of the online platforms have ~5% completion rate, so 95% of people don't even get to the end. Group tutoring sessions are really helpful to make sure the students get from 0 to hero.

That's great to hear!
We are constantly looking to improve our courses and add new ones. So, we can collaborate on those.
What kind of experience do you have? I would love to discuss in more detail and understand what we can do to improve educational content worldwide.

That's a really great question! The Python course specifically targets people with no background. It's made for complete beginners. The other courses that are coming soon like Django, or React.js target more advanced programmers who have a solid background in languages like Python or JavaScript/Typescript.
I have been teaching at several high schools and taught students different topics (C++, competitive programming, Python, introduction to machine learning).
Regarding the philosophy of the platform, we believe that the only way of learning to code is by actually writing code and having a lot of practice. The main idea behind the practical exercises is to have instant feedback to facilitate quick iteration for students.
Yet, having an online platform only might not be enough. The best learning experience is obtained when you are surrounded by other people interested in the same thing. So, creating an environment is one of the most crucial parts.
We try to accomplish that by providing group tutoring sessions so that the learners also have a social experience and guidance from industry professionals to not get stuck and have better career choices later on.

We believe that educational materials should be accessible to everyone! All people should have the access to the best resources online to learn and accomplish their goals. Following that ideology, our courses will always be FREE for everyone.
