Mentorship is the most effective way to learn programming.
Mentorship is different from other learning methods. The amount of knowledge you get from your mentor is limited only by the knowledge and experience of the mentor. With a mentor you are not just learning new technologies, but also how to build a successful career as a developer.
A real application in a real environment
You won't find abstract in-browser tutorials or purposeless quizzes here. You’ll get lots of practical experience by working in a real development environment! You’ll be able to create your own application for your portfolio or personal project.
Work one-on-one with an experienced mentor
Our mentoring process uses an entirely individual approach! Start by defining goals and targets together, then improve with constant feedback, thorough code reviews, CV-writing assistance, and support while you look for a job. Also, you'll get motivational kicks and heart-to-heart talks when you need them.
At your pace and with no time limits
We have no time limits! Are you ready to study for eight hours a day? Go ahead! Haven’t written a single line of code in an entire week? We’ll find a way to stimulate and motivate you!
Our mentors are experienced professionals
Our mentors, too, were once completely new to programming, but now they are skilled developers with substantial experience in their fields and are trusted by the world’s biggest employers.

Our graduates' recommendations
«... Victor is really attentive, ready to support, but always pushing to “improve oneself”. He’s a great and inspiring role model. He teaches you to think things over and not to look for the ready-made answers (because you may fail to find them), but to find the solution yourself. Responds very quickly. In real life it’s pretty unlikely to get the answer almost right after you’ve asked it.' ... »
«... Alexey gave the impression of a very experienced and knowledgeable person. Together with him for 1.5 months, we came from zero to 'a man who can throw code' and execute the project for which mentoring was started. We studied everything from the very beginning and gradually went through all the links of the chain. ... »
«... Dmitry is customizable. =) The training mode and the method of interaction with it can be easily negotiated and arranged for yourself. He is involved in the student's learning process, the desire to help, share his experience, is open to discussing not only the objectives of the course, but also other issues related to professional activity and demonstrates an invariably responsible and thorough approach to his work - he always answers questions quickly enough, tasks, and he himself initiates offering assistance. ... »
You don’t have to choose between the mentorship and self-study
Our mentors put a lot of effort into developing our students' independence and supporting their self-study.
To support our belief in self-study, we wrote a guide for beginning web-developers. It explains where to start, which technologies and concepts to study first, and which will be useful later on.
Our subscribers get this guide free of charge of charge.
