That’s the only way to learn 😉 Tutoring aside (maybe someone here is willing to do it), my advice to you would be to:

- Go through the Julia resources online [Get started with Julia](https://julialang.org/learning/).
- Start with simple toy projects before committing fully and ask questions here when you are struggling.
- Find a sub-community in the Julia community that is doing work similar to what you are doing. For example, optimisation, machine learning, physics simulation, statistics, graph theory, etc.
- Try to be “involved” in the development of some package that is developed or maintained by that sub-community. This could be just improving their documentation or it could be actually implementing a new feature that you need for your work or just in return for their mentoring. That’s a way to “compensate” people for their time helping you by contributing to their Julia packages.
- If you still have questions when writing your research code, try coming up with a minimal example and ask here and people will be happy to help. See [Please read: make it easier to help you](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757) for some tips on how to do that.

This is not to say that a personal tutor is not going to be useful but there are other ways to learn Julia too. Good luck 🙂
