Best online 1on1 tutoring platform to learn programming under supervision (lemm.ee)

I've researched the topic and I understand that the general advice is that it's best to learn on your own. However, I'd like to see Lemmy's recommendations regarding websites where you can book programming (Python/R) sessions with a personal tutor online, ideally if you have used the service yourself. I mostly need it to maintain my motivation and learn regularly instead of sporadically.

Thanks a lot, great advice! Anything else you'd recommend apart from W3schools?

I know Python specifically has a lot of good documentation online, but it's pretty technical language. I would really recommend coding along with a tutorial online

Also, if you're looking for motivation, I totally get that. I normally don't do personal projects, because it feels like work, and I like to keep that separate from free time. But I found it's easier to find motivation when it's something you enjoy. The project I've worked most on is a magic item shop generator for the D&D games I run since I always found coming up with prices and random items to be difficult. I haven't turned it into a full web app yet, it's just a script to print out a table with the PrettyTables python library, but I worked on that in the airport on my last vacation because I was enjoying it!

Thanks for sharing, but it seems I don't have an idea of what I'd enjoy programming for yet. I'm looking to get into Data Science as a new career so it's more complicated to learn it in a fun mode 🙂
