Bilingual (Mandarin/English) AI & CS Tutor — Daily 1-on-1 for Adult Beginner, Long-Term
Worldwide
I'm hiring a patient, smart, hardworking tutor for one student: my fiancée, an adult absolute beginner (native Mandarin speaker, limited English, in China, UTC+8). Goal: build her from zero to a real technical foundation — computing fundamentals, engineering thinking, and intro machine learning — on a path toward working in English as a technical AI Associate Product Manager. The work: (1) 2 hours/day of live 1-on-1 teaching (Zoom), taught bilingually in Mandarin and English, daily, scheduled between 13:00–21:00 China time. (2) Write her a self-guided daily lesson plan covering the rest of her study day, and track completion. (3) A short weekly English calibration call with me — I'm an American AI product leader (2x Fortune 500 AI Group PM) and I oversee the curriculum; treat this as free industry mentorship. You: Master's/PhD student or recent grad in CS/AI/ML or related engineering; native Mandarin; fluent spoken English (the interview is entirely in English); patient with true beginners — the ability to make hard things simple matters more than prestige. Individuals only — no agencies or teams. Terms: $20–25/hr depending on credentials, 2 hrs/day logged + lesson-planning time, 3-month initial engagement, renewable long-term with raise potential for excellent performance. Process: proposal → English video interview with me → one paid trial lesson with the student → hire.
