About this course
One student, one expert, one roadmap built around what that student is actually trying to do. Private coaching suits two situations especially well: a student who wants tailored teaching that moves at their own pace, and a student developing a personal project (a competition entry, a startup, a research idea, a college-application portfolio piece) that has outgrown any fixed syllabus. Sessions are scheduled around the student and their time zone, and the agenda is their own work. Pricing is a simple hourly rate that drops when you buy a package: $120 an hour, $110 an hour for a 10-hour package, and $100 an hour for a 20-hour package.

Frequently asked questions
How does the pricing work?
A simple hourly rate that drops with a package: $120 an hour as the base rate, $110 an hour if you buy a 10-hour package, and $100 an hour if you buy a 20-hour package. Packages can be used flexibly over time.
What can the sessions be used for?
Two things especially: tailored teaching that moves at your student's pace, or dedicated help developing a personal project (a competition entry, a startup, a research idea, or a college-application portfolio piece) with an AI expert.
How do you match a coach?
On the student's age, goals, and project. The first session is a diagnostic, and we will rematch if the fit is wrong.
Can this run alongside a group course?
Yes, and it often does. Students in a term course sometimes add private sessions for a competition entry or a project outside the course.
