One-to-one coaching · not a group course

Stop writing it by hand.
Start directing it.

You've picked up some code — a bit of Python, some HTML, maybe a scripting language at work — but you've never used AI tools to actually ship something real. Over a four-week sprint, working directly with me one-to-one, you'll go from writing things slowly by hand to directing Claude, Cursor, and Copilot to build faster than you can type.

What you type
"Make a page where people can sign up, and put their name and email into a spreadsheet for me."

The reframe

You already know enough. You're learning to direct, not code from scratch.

Every myth keeping you from starting has the same shape. Here's the honest version.

The myth
"My coding is too rusty or too basic to get real use out of these tools."
The reality
Whatever you already know — a bit of Python, some HTML — is a head start most people don't have. The tools do the heavy lifting; you bring the judgment.
The myth
"If the AI writes the code, I'm not really coding anymore."
The reality
You're still making every real decision — what to build, how it should work, when it's actually right. The AI is the typing, not the thinking.
The myth
"By the time I learn one tool, it'll be out of date."
The reality
We teach the underlying skill — clear instructions, reading output, fixing mistakes — across three tools, so it outlasts any single one.
By the end

Three real things you'll have built

Not toy exercises — things you'll actually use, sitting on your own computer or live on the web.

Project 01

A working web app

A small tool with a real interface — a form, a list, a button that does something — built from a plain-English description and shipped to a live link you can share.

Project 02

An automation that saves you hours

Something that currently eats your evening — renaming files, chasing emails, copying data between spreadsheets — handed off to a script you never have to think about again.

Project 03

The thing you actually wanted

Your final week is unstructured: bring your own idea, and use everything you've learned to build it with me working alongside you, one-to-one.

Phase 1 & 2 · Foundations

How the four-week sprint runs

One session with me each week, real building time in between, and a project due by the end of every week.

WK 01

Talk to the machine

How Claude, Cursor, and Copilot actually think, and how to write instructions they won't misread. You'll get your first working output before the week is out.

WK 02

From idea to interface

Turn a plain description into something you can click on. Forms, buttons, pages — and how to ask for changes without starting over.

WK 03

Fixing what breaks

Every build hits an error. You'll learn to read them calmly, hand them back to the AI, and tell a real fix from a fake one.

WK 04

Shipping it

Get your project live on the web, share it with actual people, and leave with a plan for what to build next.

Phase 3 & 4 · Optional next step

When you're ready, there's a Level 2

Foundations gets you shipping with chat-based tools. Level 2 is a follow-on sprint for graduates who want to hand off bigger, multi-step work to an agent — still just the two of us, one-to-one.

Week 5–6

Working with an agent

Move from chat to agentic tools like Claude Code and Cursor's agent mode — giving instructions for whole features instead of single asks, and reviewing what the agent builds before you trust it.

Week 7–8

Extending the agent

Connect MCP servers so your agent can read a spreadsheet, send an email, or reach a database. Set up custom agents and a project config so it behaves consistently every time.

Level 2 opens once you've finished Foundations. Apply below and mention you're interested in going further.

Tools covered

You'll get comfortable in all three

Different tools suit different moments. You'll learn when to reach for each one, not just how to use one of them.

Claude — planning & explaining code in plain English
Cursor — building and editing inside a real project
GitHub Copilot — fast, in-the-flow suggestions as you work

Who this is for

This is for you if

  • You've picked up some code — a course, a script, some HTML — but never shipped something real
  • You have an idea for a tool, app, or site you'd build if you could
  • You'd rather have direct, one-to-one attention than sit in a group
  • You can commit 3–4 hours a week for a month

This isn't for you if

  • You've never written any code at all — this moves faster than a true zero-to-one course
  • You already write code professionally — you'll want something more advanced
  • You're looking for a passive, watch-only video course
  • You want a group class or a community of peers as part of the format
  • You want a get-rich-quick app-building shortcut
Not ready for four weeks?

Try a Quick Start instead

Two 90-minute sessions over two weeks, focused entirely on GitHub Copilot — a lighter on-ramp if you want to get properly using one tool before committing to the full sprint.

Session 1 · 90 min

Copilot basics

  • Getting set up: inline suggestions vs. chat mode
  • Writing prompts and comments that get useful completions
  • Accepting, rejecting, and editing what it suggests
  • Live: build something small together, in your own editor
Session 2 · 90 min

Beyond autocomplete: agents & skills

  • Agent mode vs. autocomplete — what actually changes
  • Giving Copilot a multi-step task, not a single completion
  • Custom instructions and skills, in plain terms
  • Live: hand Copilot a real task and review the result together

One-to-one, not a class

Book a sprint

This isn't a course you sit in with a group — it's four weeks of direct, one-to-one coaching. I work with one person at a time, so I only take on a handful of sprints each month.

£599   £449 for a founding-client sprint · Foundations (Weeks 1–4)

Weekly 1:1 session plus async support for genuine blockers between sessions, wherever you are in the world.

Total: £449

No spam. Just a reply from me to see if it's a good fit.

Booking for a team

Sending 5 or more people?

Still one-to-one — each person gets their own weekly session and their own deliverables. The discount is for booking multiple seats together, not for teaching a group.

SeatsPer-seat discountOr, instead
1–2
3–4 5% off per seat (£427)
5+ 10% off per seat (£404) Priority Support included free per seat, at full price

For 5+ seats, pick whichever suits your team better: the discounted rate, or full price with Priority Support (unlimited ad-hoc messages, 1-business-day reply) included for everyone at no extra cost. Email to arrange — five concurrent 1:1 sprints need a bit of calendar planning on my end.

Questions

Before you sign up

Do I need any experience at all?

Some, yes — enough that you've written a script, a bit of HTML/CSS, or worked through a beginner course or two. You don't need to be fluent, and we're not aiming at professional-level skill, but this isn't a "what is a variable" course either.

Which tool should I use — Claude, Cursor, or Copilot?

You don't have to choose yet. Week one covers all three so you can see what each is good at, then you settle into whichever fits how you like to work.

How much time do I need each week?

Plan for one 1:1 session plus 2–3 hours of building on your own. The projects are designed to fit around a normal week, not take it over.

What if I get stuck?

You'll have async support between sessions for genuine blockers, and getting stuck and unsticking yourself with the AI's help — with me guiding you — is actually most of what you're there to learn. If you'd rather have a closer safety net for the full four weeks, Priority Support is an optional add-on with unlimited ad-hoc messages and a faster reply time.
