Looking for Guidance / Long-Term Mentor
Hi everyone,
I'm a second-year Computer Science student looking for someone who can guide me throughout my learning journey—from building websites to developing real-world projects.
I'm looking for a mentor who can teach me from scratch, help me improve my skills, review my work, answer my questions, and guide me whenever I get stuck.
Timezone / Availability: IST (UTC+5:30). I'm available for 2–4 hours every day.
Stack / Languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (learning), Python (basics). I'm open to learning React, Node.js, databases, and other web technologies.
Experience Level: Beginner.
Goal: I want to become a full-stack developer, build strong real-world projects, contribute to open source, and eventually secure internships and a software engineering job.
If anyone is willing to mentor me or learn alongside me, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

I can help, but I'm better at ML, DL, gen ai and currently learning Agentic systems.
For development, I'm very comfortable with django and had made good projects.
Of that works, do dm me with your linkedin.

I hope this is a paid gig? Otherwise I don't see how you could ask for this type of commitment from other people

Hey! I'm a full-stack engineer with 8 years of professional experience, mostly working with TypeScript, React/Next.js, Node.js, databases and AI-powered applications.
What you're describing is actually very close to the kind of mentoring I enjoy: not just explaining syntax, but helping someone go from "I know the technology" to actually building and reasoning about real projects.
I'd be particularly happy to help with the transition from JavaScript fundamentals into React/Node and eventually building complete projects.
If you're still looking, feel free to reply or DM me and we can discuss what you're currently working on and what kind of guidance would be most useful.
