Private Vibe Coding Lessons — Just You, Me, and Your Code

Most vibe coding tutorials are public content for the masses — YouTube videos, blog posts, paid courses with a thousand students in the Discord. Useful for the basics, useless for the specific thing you’re actually stuck on.

Private lessons are different. One student (you). One instructor (me). No group. No recording shared with anyone unless you ask. No “I’ll get to your question later” — you are the question.

Who private lessons are for

People who’ve tried a course and bounced

You bought a $200 Claude Code bootcamp, watched 2 hours, realized it was pitched three levels above or below your actual skill, and gave up. Private lessons skip that mismatch — the lesson is calibrated to you.

People working on something confidential

You don’t want your prototype code, your startup idea, or your client’s project shared in a class Discord. Private means private.

People who learn fastest by asking questions

You want to interrupt. You want to ask “wait, why?” every 30 seconds. Group classes hate that. 1-on-1 lessons are built for it.

What’s in a private lesson

  • 60-minute video call — Zoom, Google Meet, or Discord, your choice
  • Screen-share on your codebase — your actual project, not a demo repo
  • Your questions answered as they come up, not saved for a “community call”
  • Your specific problem solved — whether that’s debugging, setup, or strategic
  • Written notes of what we covered, sent after the session
  • Recording available on request — default is no recording for privacy

Why private beats group lessons or courses

Group classes divide one hour across ten students. Private lessons spend the full hour on one — you.

A $99 first session with 60 min of attention on your code works out to $1.65 per focused minute. A $200 course with 10 hours of pre-recorded video plus a 1-hour Q&A split 100 ways? The video is $0.33/minute regardless of whether it’s relevant to you, and the Q&A you mostly don’t talk during is $0.03/minute for you specifically.

That’s before we count that the private lesson is your specific problem, not a generic tutorial.

FAQ

Are these really private?

Yes. It’s a 1-on-1 video call. No other students, no shared Discord, no class recording published anywhere. If you want your own recording for later review, I’ll enable recording at the start of your session and send you the link after; otherwise nothing is recorded.

Can I get recordings?

On request, yes. If you tell me at the start of the session you’d like a recording, I’ll enable it and send you the file afterwards. Default is no recording for maximum privacy.

Do you share my code with anyone?

No. Your code stays private. I don’t use student code in tutorials, blog posts, or future lessons. The only exception: if I think your problem is a useful example for others and you explicitly give me permission to anonymize and share, that’s a conversation we can have — but nothing goes public without your written consent.
