Student Mentorship
Starting out in this industry is lonely, and nobody tells you what actually matters. I’ve mentored final-year project teams since 2020. Now I do it for students outside my own classes too.
R500 per session, up to an hour · free 15-minute intro call first · English, Portuguese or Urdu
6 years as technical mentor to final-year Honours systems projects — 14 teams a year, across health, education, agriculture, HR, blockchain and business systems.
6 years teaching Excel and Python to first- and second-year students. I’m used to explaining things properly, at whatever pace you need.
I build and sell real software. One Click POS serves paying clients in retail, hospitality, food service, education and fuel.

Session and summary
We work through it together. Afterwards you get a short written summary of what we covered and what to do next.
What a mentorship session covers
Bring whatever you’re stuck on. These are the things students ask me about most.
Your project
How to approach it, how to structure it, how to think it through. I won’t do it for you, but you won’t be stuck alone at 2am either.

Getting unstuck on a bug
We walk through it together until you find the cause. You keep your hands on the keyboard, because that’s how you learn it.

Python and Excel
Taught properly, at your pace, by someone who has taught them to university students for six years.

Databases and structure
Why your design will cause you problems later, and how to think about data before you write the code.

What to learn next
Which skills are worth your time, which projects are worth building, and what employers here actually look at.

Someone in your corner
Regular sessions through your project or your final year, with someone who knows your goals and where you get stuck.

Who this is for
Full-time students at university, college or a bootcamp, in any country.
You don’t have to be studying computer science. If you’re building something or trying to move into tech, bring it.
What I won’t do
I won’t do your assignment, write your code, or hand you work you can’t explain to a marker. That’s not mentorship and it would put your degree at risk.
I also don’t take students from courses I currently teach or assess. Ask me and I’ll tell you straight.
Frequently asked questions
How do I prove I’m a student?
Show me your student card on the free intro call. That’s it.

Is this cheating?
No, because I don’t produce your work. I ask questions, explain concepts and point you at what to look into. If you can’t explain the answer yourself afterwards, I haven’t done my job.

I’m not sure what to ask. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most students start there. Bring your project or your problem and we’ll work out the real question together.

What if I need help with something for a client or a business?
Then it’s commercial work, not study, and it’s at the normal rate. See the technical review and mentorship page.
