Alexey Kurylev

When it became necessary to master web development in python, I thought for a long time with the training format. I examined various online courses and realized that the “mentoring” option suits me best. It so happened that at my current place of work I am the only python developer, therefore, in addition to training in web development, my goal was to get feedback on the quality of my code and get acquainted with the best practices for developing web applications in modern it companies. I chose Alexei and did not regret it. The month of training was very fruitful. The tasks that Alex was preparing covered the maximum capabilities of Django and Django REST Framework. For each task, Alexey provided materials for study, as well as explained and answered questions at almost any time. After completing my assignment, Alexey conducted a strict code-review, forcing me to perfect the code. In general, thanks to Alexei, I was able to significantly increase my skills in developing web applications on Django, learn how to work with Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis, learn how to configure CI systems, overcome the “impostor syndrome” and increase my self-confidence as a programmer.

The main thing that I understood: mentoring is what is needed. Alexey helped (and helps) to build knowledge into the system and bring them to a level suitable for work. All tasks are moderately complex and are aimed precisely at this. In a word, the toastmaster is good and the competitions are interesting. Well, the ability to ask questions at almost any time is priceless, especially when studying Django, a full-fledged framework loaded with great functionality. There are many nuances in it, and there is something to ask. Alexey really knows him very well and has told a lot about how exactly Django uses various functions in practice. In general, I am pleased with the process and decided to continue my studies.

Алексей - очень хороший ментор. И я очень довольна, что выбрала именно его. Все, что было для меня важно в процессе обучения, я получила. Он обращал внимание не только на ошибки, но и освещал хорошие стороны. Или если какие-то вещи казались сложными, то после объяснения Алексея все становилось простым и понятным. Ждать ответов на вопросы не приходилось, однако, к счастью, нет такого, что задания выполняются за тебя; я наконец-то могу сказать, что умею не только читать документацию, но и ее использовать. Задания были подобраны с учетом моего опыта и целей и были очень близки к тому, что происходит "в реальной жизни". Я наконец-то не боюсь всего перечисленного в вакансиях, могу сказать что я знаю и чего нет. В общем, если вам нужен не просто человек с большим багажом опыта и знаний, а человек, который учит и грамотный преподаватель, способный передать эти знания новичку, то вам сюда.

Aleksey was taught a month with the aim of tightening up Django and related technologies, to structure all of the scattered knowledge obtained earlier by self-study. He was satisfied with the learning process - Alexey sets out unofficial tasks and motivates to solve them on his own, and at the same time he is always ready to help with advice, conduct code review, point out errors and suggest ways to make the code better and cleaner. The training plan was built individually, based on my interests and needs - an absolute plus in comparison with online courses. As a result, I received a baggage of valuable knowledge, a plan for further self-development for the near future, and most importantly self-reliance. Feel free to contact Alexei if you want to learn how to program correctly and feel the need for help from a class specialist.

I have been studying with Alexey for the second month already, I am very pleased. Always in touch, available explains, teaches what you need. Now I am working on my own project and without Alexei I could hardly even have begun. If you need not just a programmer, who dryly answers questions a couple of times a day, but a sensitive mentor involved in you and your training, then I recommend Alexey.

Thanks to Alexey for such a productive and stressful month, for which it turned out to do quite a lot. I myself personally went through both offline and online courses in Python and therefore already had a certain base. It was important for me to just move on, get to know Django better. When we first spoke on Skype, we immediately determined my level and the things we would do, and also made up an individual development plan. The very process of learning I was very pleased, here Alex showed himself an excellent mentor and a specialist. It was always available in Skype and Telegram, every day I asked about the progress, what I did and what did not, did a quality review code, explained where there were any errors and what needed to be corrected. If any topic was not clear, one could always ask a question and get an answer without a dry reference to the theory or google. Another positive feature of learning from Alexey is his online workshops, where there is an analysis of a particular topic or a real combat application. In general, an excellent mentor with an individual approach to learning. I highly recommend him to everyone and in the future I plan to study with him.

Alexey gave me a clear understanding of how cool applications are built in large companies. There was always a lack of a person who, from the height of his vast experience, would have looked at your code and said that you are not doing everything right ... So it was. From theory to practice. Now I am building my project and Alexey helps me in every way. For a couple of minutes solving the tasks for which it would take me a couple of months. Constant feedback and responsibility for your learning are very encouraging. Not much regret in choosing a mentor. And I plan to continue to study it from him

Very cool mentor and very responsive, always ready to provide proper assistance. Alexey has a really original approach to learning, he will not make him bored and sit over routine tasks. Highly recommend !
