Frequently Asked Questions

What is LernerPython?

LernerPython is a membership program built around three things:

• Video courses that emphasize the why (not just “type this”)
• Lots of exercises (because you don’t learn by watching)
• Access to me and the community for questions, office hours, and member lectures

If you want “a pile of videos,” the internet already has that. If you want a learning path + practice + feedback, that’s what I built.

Who is LernerPython for?

LernerPython is for you if you want to:

• learn Python from scratch,
• go from “I can write some code” to “I’m confident and interview-ready,” or
• level up your Python and (optionally) your data skills with Pandas.

It’s also popular with working developers who want to understand Python deeply (and stop being surprised by it).

What do I get as a member?

In practical terms, you get:

• Access to 50+ courses and 500+ exercises
• A structured roadmap so you’re not guessing what to learn next
• A private Discord community where you can ask questions and get unstuck
• Monthly live office hours (Zoom) with recordings + the notebook I used
• Monthly members-only lectures (also recorded)

Is this beginner friendly?

Yes. I teach beginners all the time.
Also: “beginner” doesn’t mean “stays beginner.” The goal is to get you fluent, not to keep you watching tutorials forever.

Do I need prior programming experience?

No. If you’re brand-new, start with the roadmap and the intro courses.
If you already know another language, you’ll move faster—but you’ll still benefit from understanding Python’s design and common gotchas.

What’s the difference between LernerPython and LernerPython + Data?

There are two membership levels:

LernerPython, which Includes:

• Python, Git, and regular expressions courses
• Members-only community
• Python office hours + Python members-only lectures

LernerPython + Data includes everything above, plus:

• NumPy, Pandas, and SQL courses
• Pandas office hours + Pandas members-only lectures
• Bamboo Weekly (included)

Both levels are available on a monthly or annual basis. You can switch between these levels, and from monthly to annual (or back) whenever you want.

What is Bamboo Weekly?

Bamboo Weekly is my weekly “do real Pandas work” practice track.

• Wednesday: the questions (based on real-world data)
• Thursday: detailed solutions + explanations

You also get access to 100+ back issues. If you’re a LernerPython + Data member, Bamboo Weekly is included.

How often are the live support sessions (“office hours”)?

Every month:

• One office-hours session for Python (all members)
• One office-hours session for Pandas (LernerPython + Data)

Everything is recorded, and recordings are typically posted shortly after the session—along with the notebook I used while live-coding.

What happens during office hours?

Office hours are “bring your questions.” Common topics:

• confusion about a course topic
• debugging an exercise
• understanding why something works the way it does
• practical “how do I do X” questions
• new-ish Python/Pandas features

You can also lurk. Zero shame in lurking.

What are members-only lectures?

Once a month (for Python) and once a month (for Pandas/data) I give a focused lecture on a topic that members ask for.
Subscribers can watch the recordings of past lectures, too.

Where is the community hosted?

We use a private Discord server.
It’s a good place to:

• ask questions
• share what you built
• get announcements for office hours / lectures / special events

How do I join the Discord?

After you subscribe, go to your account/profile area and add your Discord ID (the site explains exactly where). Then you’ll get access to the invite link.

I’m stuck. What’s the fastest way to get help?

Ask in Discord (include what you tried, and what you expected to happen). Or bring it to office hours (great for deeper “why” questions)!

Do you offer a roadmap / learning path?

Yes—there’s a dedicated roadmap page designed to answer: “What should I learn next if my goal is X?”

Do you teach Git too?

Yes. Git is part of the roadmap because it’s required for basically every dev job, and I’d rather you learn it properly than fear it forever.

What are Weekly Python Exercises (WPE)?

WPE is a structured practice program: cohorts that run over multiple weeks to build fluency through consistent, progressive exercises. As a member, you have access to six 15-week cohorts (so you can start when you’re ready). WPE isn’t a live course, so just sign up whenever you want to start.

How much time do I need each week?

You can do this at your own pace. That said, the people who progress fastest tend to do 2–4 short sessions per week (even 20–30 minutes each), plus join office hours once a month.

Do you cover real-world Python, or just toy examples?

Real-world. My bias is always:

• understand the core idea
• practice it in small pieces
• then connect it to the messy stuff you’ll see at work

Also: Bamboo Weekly is explicitly built around real, messy, poorly documented data—because that’s what real data looks like.

Can I use LernerPython for interview prep?

Yes. The roadmap is designed to move you toward interview-ready skills, and the exercises are meant to build fluency (which interviews quickly expose). There’s even an “Ace Python Interviews” course, with 50 interview questions you can practice with.

How much does it cost?

• LernerPython: $40/month or $400/year
• LernerPython + Data: $50/month or $500/year

Is there a free trial?

Yes, the first 14 days are free.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel from your account page.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade from your account settings, and the change applies to your next billing cycle.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. I offer a 100% money-back guarantee: if you didn’t get value, tell me and I’ll refund you.

Do you offer team/company memberships?

Yes—there’s a Team Membership option starting at $30/month per member, with both LernerPython and LernerPython + Data available.

Do you do corporate training?

Yes. I train companies worldwide (and LernerPython is heavily influenced by what I see teams struggle with in real life).
If you’re looking for a training program for a team, contact me and we’ll talk.

How do I contact you?

Email me at reuven@lernerpython.com. You’re not going to get a bot or a “support team.” You’re going to get me.

Will you sell my data?

No. The privacy policy is explicit: I won’t sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.

One last question: Is it worth it?

I can’t decide that for you—but I can make it low-risk:

• Try it for two weeks free
• If you don’t get value, I’ll refund you

If you do join, introduce yourself in Discord. I’m always happy to point you in the right direction.
