Open Source Tutors

Our Mission

Open Source Tutors is a platform that helps students and early-career developers build real-world experience by contributing to open source projects — with mentorship. We believe contributing code is one of the best ways to learn, grow, and get hired.

Who It's For

• CS students and bootcamp grads looking to gain real experience
• Career switchers who want help building a public portfolio
• Self-taught developers who want feedback and direction
• Anyone intimidated by the idea of contributing to open source

How It Works

You can browse beginner-friendly open source projects, book a tutor to guide you through contributions, follow tutorials on our blog, or join a group session. We’re building a community of contributors who support one another.

About the Founder

This platform was started by a developer with a background in computer science, AI research, and open source community building. After helping students navigate their first pull requests and job interviews, the idea was born to scale that mentorship and connect more people with opportunities through open source.
