Ask HN: Many people will spend thousands on bootcamps. Why not so much tutors?
I'd like to see more of these kinds of learning resources being offered and promoted, that are off the beaten path of learn the basics of popular tech stacks. Bootcamps are still growing in popularity and in a local Slack channel for technical jobs, a lot of newcomers present themselves as bootcamp graduates. But there must be lots of people who are willing to be paid to tutor or mentor people in other ways, and in other tech domains besides the popular web dev and mobile dev routes. Suppose you want to learn C/C++. RTOS for embedded systems. Computer vision. A tutoring program with an experienced professional could be more rewarding than just reading material, whether one-on-one or tutoring a small group. Where can someone start filtering for good resources to find tutors or specialized learning experiences for other specific knowledge? Do some colleges offer tutor sessions for non-enrolled people? What's keeping such a service from being highly publicized or promoted? 1 comments on Hacker News.
