AI Mentor / Tutor

I am a Ph.D. and digital product business owner who uses AI (Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools) every day to build, market, and scale my business. My 12-year-old son and I are looking for an experienced AI tutor who can teach us how to work with AI effectively—not just how to ask questions, but how to think, build, create, and solve problems with AI. This is an ongoing coaching relationship, not a one-time class. I already use AI daily and want to become significantly more advanced in prompt engineering, AI workflows, automation, and business applications. My son is curious, creative, and highly motivated. We want someone who can grow with him over the coming years as AI continues to evolve. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR • Weekly one-on-one coaching sessions (one for me, one for my son) • Hands-on learning using real projects—not lectures or slide presentations • Practical skills that can be used immediately • A structured curriculum that builds over time • Someone who enjoys teaching and can explain complex ideas clearly • Experience with Claude, ChatGPT, and current AI tools MY LEARNING GOALS I use AI every day and want to continue improving how I work with it. Topics include: • Advanced prompt engineering • AI workflow design • Prompt refinement and iteration • Research and fact-checking • Marketing copy • Product descriptions • Sales pages • Email sequences • Business automation • AI-assisted content creation • Website content • Productivity systems • Emerging AI tools and best practices JORDAN'S LEARNING GOALS Jordan is 12 years old. While we'll certainly use AI for school projects and writing, our larger goal is to help him develop future-ready skills that will grow with him through middle school, high school, college, and beyond. We are looking for someone who can progressively teach him how to use AI to create, build, and solve problems. Topics may include: • Learning how to communicate effectively with AI and using AI to support academic success • Critical thinking and verifying AI responses • Research and creative writing • Brainstorming and problem solving • Website design and development with AI • Creating simple games with AI • Building apps and digital tools as his skills grow • Learning basic programming concepts using AI as a coach • Entrepreneurship and business ideas • Using AI to help businesses become more efficient • Marketing and content creation • Responsible and ethical use of AI • Developing confidence as a creator—not just a consumer—of AI technology The ideal tutor enjoys helping young people build real-world skills and can gradually increase the difficulty as Jordan grows. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN YOU • Demonstrated experience teaching AI—not simply using it • Strong prompt engineering knowledge • Comfortable teaching both an adult professional and a motivated 12-year-old • Patient, engaging, and adaptable • Able to build a long-term curriculum instead of isolated lessons • Reliable, organized, and an excellent communicator Bonus experience: • Programming or software development • Website development • AI-assisted coding • Game development • Digital marketing • Entrepreneurship • Small business consulting LOGISTICS • Two weekly sessions (one for Jordan and one for me--45–60 minutes each) • Zoom • Weekly to start • Start date: ASAP • Budget: Please include your hourly rate. TO APPLY Please include: Your hourly rate. Your experience teaching AI and prompt engineering. An example of how you would structure Jordan's first month of lessons. An example of how you would structure my first month of lessons. What you think will be the most valuable AI skills for a motivated 12-year-old to develop over the next five years. Applications that do not answer these questions will not be considered. We are looking for someone who enjoys teaching, stays current with AI, and is excited about helping both a business owner and a young learner become confident, capable AI users and creators.
