Ramsey E
SQL : First-class Master's grad, 6 years exp.
I'm a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, where I earned a Master of Informatics, First Class. For my dissertation, I adapted a neural model of the insect brain to build a dung beetle biorobot -- yes, you read that right! I even received a grant to pit my creation against real dung beetles in South Africa. The robot rolled away victorious, but rest assured, no beetles were harmed in the making of this story.My teaching skills were first sharpened in the battle trenches of the university classroom, where I was trained and employed to tutor 1st- and 2nd-year informatics courses: in total, 11...

Aazaad S
Energetic SQL tutor
I have recently graduated from the University of Leeds with ambitions to start a Ph.D. in Physics. I received an average of a first in the Maths modules I completed during my degree and a high 2.1 in my Physics modules; I received an Upper-Second Class overall. The modules I chose to study over the course of my degree were taken to simultaneously challenge myself academically and also to allow myself to have knowledge of a wide scope of subjects in order to be a more competent teacher. Multivariable calculus, matrices and operators, statistics, modeling, and linear regression are some of the mathematical...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

Our First Lesson Guarantee ensures you find the perfect tutor. If you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson for any reason, we'll find you another tutor for free. It's our commitment to getting your learning journey started on the right foot.

Do I need to have database software installed to learn SQL?

Not at all! Many tutors use online SQL environments (like DB Fiddle or SQL Fiddle) that run in your web browser. This allows you to start writing and running queries immediately without any complex setup on your own computer.

How much do online SQL tutors cost?

The price for an SQL tutor varies based on their experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. This allows you to find an expert who fits your budget.

I'm a complete beginner. Is SQL tutoring right for me?

Absolutely! Our tutors are experienced in guiding learners from the very beginning. They can start with the absolute basics, like what a database is and how to write your first SELECT statement, building your confidence and knowledge from the ground up.

How do I find the right SQL tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to narrow down tutors by price, availability, and experience. Read their profiles to understand their specialities and check reviews from other students. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your learning goals.

Can a tutor help me prepare for a SQL technical interview?

Yes, this is a very common goal. Many of our tutors are industry professionals who have conducted technical interviews themselves. They can help you practice common interview questions, optimise your queries, and explain your thought process clearly.

How often should I have SQL lessons?

We typically recommend one or two lessons per week to maintain momentum and have time to practice between sessions. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be adjusted based on your schedule and goals.

Do tutors teach specific SQL dialects like PostgreSQL, MySQL, or T-SQL?

Yes. While the fundamentals of SQL are universal, many tutors specialise in specific dialects used by major database systems like PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server (T-SQL), or Oracle. You can check their profile bios for their areas of expertise.

Why should I choose a tutor over free online resources?

Free resources are great, but a tutor provides what they can't: personalised feedback, accountability, and answers to your specific questions. A tutor can debug your code in real-time and tailor a learning plan directly to your career goals, saving you hours of frustration.

What happens in a typical online SQL lesson?

Your lesson will take place in our online classroom, which features video chat and a shared workspace. You might review concepts, work through query exercises together, debug a problematic script, or design a small database schema, all tailored to what you need to learn.

Can I get help with a specific work or university project?

Definitely, our tutors can provide guidance and support for your projects, helping you understand the concepts needed to solve your specific data problems and complete your work successfully. Just be sure to communicate your needs with them beforehand.
