João G. - developer in Brazil
Scientific Evidence Based Teaching
5.00 / 5.0
Osasco, Brazil

Since I was a child I enjoyed helping my classmates. The same in University and in the jobs I had. Like many codementors here I am a master of the art but what differentiates me is that I find it one of the most fulfilling experiences in life is to mentor. It forces me everyday to be the best version of myself, to use all my communication skills, all I know about teaching. I believe everybody should have a mentor, not only programmers. Today I help colleagues with less experience tackle a wide range of machine learning , data science and software engineering problems. A good mentor can give you guidance but not only that, can help you unconceal the answers to the problems you are trying to solve. After many years of teaching and learning I developed a resource of evidence based methods (Roediger III, Boaler, etc) to teach and gained experience from reading and watching coaches like Bob Bowman (Michael Phelps) to know how to achieve EXCELLENCE. From my experience as a mentor I have seen many students with a lot of potential being held back because of their mindset, their insecurities as a programmer or the wrong teaching methods. Hence we will work together beyond code, but also to overcome any mental blocks that are holding you from achieving your full potential. "When the pupil is ready the master will appear"

Gustavo - developer in Brazil
A problem solver. A data enthusiast with deep understanding in business and strong academic-level research skill.
5.00 / 5.0
Areia, Brazil

I’m passionate about the purpose of helping others by sharing knowledge. I like the idea of challenging myself to find data-driven solutions, either it's a practical problem in a real business or an academic problem. I believe that because of three reasons. First, after more than a decade of experience as a small business manager, I acquired a DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF BUSINESS. Second, in that period I use to perform data analysis on my daily basis, which provides me an ADVANCED LEVEL OF MICROSOFT EXCEL spreadsheet. Lastly, as a Ph.D. student in finance, I have been developing some academic-level research skills, including an EXPERTISE IN R LANGUAGE to analyze data. Therefore, I give my best to use my background and find a solution to your problem. If I cannot solve it, you will get a FULL refund. So, there's absolutely no risk for you. I don’t charge anything if the mentee is not satisfied.
