Programming in Python for Beginners With No Prior Experience
From 15.73 $ /h
As a student at a specialized Mathematics and Computer Science high school and a national award winner, I don’t just teach you how to write code, I teach you how to think like a problem solver. This course is designed specifically for absolute beginners who want to move beyond watching tutorials and start writing their own code.
I will guide you through the "how" and "why" of Python. No prior experience is required, just curiosity and a laptop.
What You Will Learn:
The Building Blocks: Master variables, loops, and conditional logic (the "if/then" of the world).
Problem Solving: Learn how to think like a programmer to break down complex problems into small, solvable steps.
Data Structures: Understand how to organize information using lists, dictionaries, and tuples.
Why this class:
Peer-Tested Methods: I’ve mentored peers through the toughest parts of STEM, so I know exactly where beginners usually get stuck.
Modern Tools: We use the same tools the pros use (VS Code, GitHub, and terminal basics).
Certificate Focused: This class prepares you for more advanced tracks, such as Web Development with Django or Data Science.
Who Is This For:
High school students looking to get ahead in CS.
Total beginners who want a patient, one-on-one mentor.
Creatives who want to understand how the technology they use actually works.

About Me
Hi!
I’m Danka, a dedicated STEM mentor with a passion for making complex logic simple. Currently in my final year at a specialized Mathematics and Computer Science high school.
Why work with me?
I don’t just teach formulas, I teach "how to think." Whether you are struggling with high school calculus or trying to debug your Python or C++ code, I provide a structured, patient, and goal-oriented environment.
My Background:
Mathematics: I am a multi-award-winning competitor, holding a Second National Prize in Mathematics. I am experienced in competition prep and the Macedonian Mathematics Olympiad curriculum.
Computer Science: I hold a Harvard CS50 certification and am a Kode with Klossy alumna. My technical focus is on C++, Python and Django, but I am equally comfortable teaching core programming logic and algorithms.
Proven Tutoring Experience: I have successfully mentored peers in STEM subjects, helping them navigate difficult coursework and troubleshoot code.
I believe every student has the potential to excel in STEM with the right guidance. Let’s tackle those challenges together!
