Protesilaos

Coach on Emacs, Linux, and life in general

Private live video meeting for 10 EUR per hour

Private lessons are always one-on-one. I will never ask you to be grouped together with another person nor involve a third party.

Lessons do not have a fixed format: we work on what you want to match your skill level. Some examples:

  • Work on Emacs Lisp basics to help you better configure your Emacs.
  • Set up custom code to implement something you want with Emacs.
  • Deep dive into advanced topics, such as to extend core functionality of built-in Emacs packages.

Other topics can cover anything from Linux-related configurations to philosophy and everyday life issues. We can even mix those together!

Benefits of one-on-one coaching

  • You can ask questions live and get personalised feedback.
  • Even when we are working on a technical topic, we can still discuss intangible matters, such as workflow and methodology.
  • We practice English. We can even do it in Greek.
  • It is human interaction: we smile and have an easy time. No problem, no stress!
