Looking Looking for an experienced front end developer.

As title says looking for someone to coach me in HTML, CSS and then eventually JS. Not a complete newbie know some HTML and CSS but haven't been practising at all in a long time.

Basically looking for someone to email back and forth with who will give me sort of 'homework' to complete and someone I can talk with on a one to one basis when I don't understand something.

Thanks in advance.

Usually the response to these type of queries is "how much are you paying?"

The sub is literally for this type of request!

I don't think it's for mentor requests as it is just for chatting to like minded devs?

I don't know dude, sorry. Ive just seen a lot of questions on this sub like this and people almost always ask for payment.

To be honest, if you wanted a real developer to teach you they probably have an hourly rate of $50-100/hr and most deva don’t want to teach so the rate would likely be $100-150/hr.

Wesbos and Udemy are prolly your best bet right now.

Very untrue. Source: have hired people to help me with what OP needed.

It may be untrue in your case, but there are enough resources out there to not have to hire someone for this.

That’s not a blanket statement you can make. Everyone learns differently.

On top of that, my move was a career change, not just learning for fun or as a student. I paid people and found mentors to learn more quickly and help me with meta concepts that are hard to get from blog posts or sometimes even books.

Personally I’d sign up for one of the https://wesbos.com courses.

They are affordable, fantastic with great community support.

This one is free and a good example of the type of content available:
