LOOKING FOR MENTOR Looking for a Python mentor / study buddy
Hi everyone!
I’m a college student and I’m currently trying to learn Python seriously. I have some basic exposure, but I want to build my fundamentals properly instead of just following tutorials and copying code.
I’m looking for someone who is experienced with Python and would be willing to guide me while I learn.
What I’m looking for:
- Someone who can explain concepts when I’m stuck
- Give me problems/exercises and let me figure them out myself
- Review my code and tell me what I’m doing wrong
- Help me develop problem solving skills
- Gradually guide me towards projects
- Ideally, someone who can check in with me regularly so I stay consistent
I’m not looking for someone to do my assignments/projects for me. I genuinely want to become independent and understand what I’m doing.
My long-term interest is Bioinformatics, Data Science, ML, so I want to eventually use Python in those areas.
I’m based in IST (UTC+5:30), but I’m open to connecting with people from other time zones too.
If you’re an experienced Python developer, mentor, or even someone who is learning at a higher level and enjoys helping beginners, please DM me.
I’m willing to put in the effort. I just want the right guidance and learning direction. :)
