American (native English speaker) living abroad. I teach people how to get projects built fast and become successful developers 🔥. I don't compete on price, but I do compete on quality, speed of training, and lack of a language barrier 🙂 **Free Resources** ▶️ I have a growing [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPsi8tNv7UuNRljOTK5sl4A) where I cover popular requests I get. **Why Work With Me?** ⭐ More than 250+ 5 Star Reviews (see my [Wyzant profile](https://www.wyzant.com/match/tutor/87903194) too) 🗽 Native English speaker ✅ EXTREMELY responsive (from 10am to 10pm Portugal time) 💰 Successfully started and improved software dev careers for multiple clients. ⚪ Able to communicate complex topics simply ❤️‍🔥 Burning passion for coding and teaching 👁️ Can provide Process Maps for visual learners **Refund Policy** 💸 If I'm unable to help, you get a full refund. Easy 🙂 **Backstory** I started programming in 2018 after my mentor told me that it really fits the way I think. Before I started I was learning marketing, working in Facebook Ads and Shopify Stores (with Google Analytics, VWO, and other website optimization softwares), I was more interested in automation, and building to do tasks only once. I started at first learning Python for automation (which is still my primary language and what I really enjoy coding in). Eventually, I learned that by itself, Python isn't that sharable if you want other non-coders to use the my apps, so I grew my way into web development, diving deep into Django, HTML & CSS, building multiple sites with only those to get experience, for example: - My website: https://www.zackplauche.com/ - A mini app I built: https://www.dollarperhourcalculator.com And more :) Then eventually learning JavaScript and the Vue.js framework to take my websites, designs, and User Experiences to the next level, building at first simple apps like my DollarPerHour Calculator (https://zackplauche.github.io/DollarPerHourCalculator/), and more advanced ones, like the current one I'm developing (still in progress, but it's the biggest app I've ever build, using both Vue.js and Django). I've been teaching programming since 2019, and my students have loved me. I have students I work with that have been working with me weekly since I first started (more than 5 years now!). They helped me keep both my coding and teaching career sustainable as I was helping them with their issues, training them to be effective developers, starting my own software agency, and building my own apps. I'm extremely grateful to my students and truly care about and do my best to support their success in whatever their endeavors.
