REMOTE MENTOR

Through email correspondence, virtual classroom and whiteboard, and internet phone/video call, our mentors offer their knowledge, expertise and advice to learners via regular feedback and/or dedicated one-on-one discussions for a series of computer coding challenges. By leveraging our mentors’ experience and skills, learners can fast track their learning process in the right direction.

Learners who are interested in becoming computer scientist, software developer/coder, engineer (computer/system engineering and robotics), or speeding up your learning process, or switching career to tech, will find the remote mentoring worthwhile. We continuously create relevant real-world challenges tailored for our students with the goal of helping students develop new skills, hone existing skills, and optimize students’ potentials.

You may be wondering – how can absolute beginners start learning coding by themselves? Well, there are online tools out there and we’ve curated the best ones for learning computing concepts and coding – for example, see below for beginner coders:

Our mentorship includes:

• Continuous guidance and feedback
• Absolute beginner coding for all ages to advance levels, e.g. visual block-based and text-based coding. We will provide the necessary guidance and resources to get students started immediately
• Intermediate and advance level, e.g. from application development, to data science and machine learning
• Learn popular programming languages and technologies, e.g. Python, JavaScript, Java, C/C++, CSS, HTML, SQL
• We’re also on the look out for emerging technologies, e.g. Flutter (Google’s UI toolkit) with Dart as its programming language
• Computer science concepts and coding challenges, to be added continuously
• Industry best practices
• University level computer science
• Programming interview preparation
• Setting goals and identification of resources

Process:

• Initial assessment to determine learner’s level of experience and goals. Simply share with us your experiences and what you’d like to accomplish
• We will match you with an appropriate mentor
• Through internet phone/video call, our mentor will guide/set up the appropriate resources and tools to get learners started right away

Levels of mentorship:

• Level 1: mentor will provide weekly tailored feedback and guidance via email on your or your child’s project.
  • Fee: $29 per month 
• Level 2: personal feedback, one-on-one weekly discussion (up to 30 minutes) to review progress and prepare upcoming challenges.
