1-on-1 coding mentorship Stop jumping between tutorials.

ZAM Academy is 1-on-1 coding mentorship for beginners, delivered online in any time zone. A mentor from the ZAM team builds a roadmap around your goal, reviews the code you write, and helps you build and deploy real projects, with Zami AI support between sessions. It was founded in 2025 by full-stack developer Azzam Makki. You start with two free classes.

No — ZAM Academy takes complete beginners. Your first free class finds your starting point, and your roadmap is built from there.

No. ZAM Academy is 1-on-1 mentorship, not a cohort bootcamp: no fixed class, no fixed syllabus, and no lump-sum tuition. You work with one mentor on your own roadmap, billed monthly. (Separately, ZAM runs a few short live group bootcamps, 2–4 weeks each.) Compare them: mentor vs bootcamp vs self-taught.

A mentor from the ZAM team, matched to your goal, level and schedule. The team is led by founder Azzam Makki, a full-stack developer whose Udemy courses have taught 36,000+ students.

ZAM Academy has three monthly plans: Guided $59/month, Accelerator $129/month, Career Pro $329/month. These are founding prices: join now and your price stays the same while your membership stays active. Every plan includes your roadmap, Zami AI and the dashboard; the plans differ in mentor time, review depth and career support. Billed monthly, no contract. You start with two free classes.

It depends on the plan. Guided: 2 hours 40 minutes a month: 4 private 40-minute sessions (about one a week), plus the weekly group Q&A clinic. Accelerator: 6 hours a month: four private 90-minute sessions (about one a week), plus the weekly group Q&A clinic. Career Pro: 18 hours a month: twelve private 90-minute sessions (about three a week), plus the weekly group Q&A clinic. Sessions are scheduled around your availability, including around a full-time job.

ZAM Academy teaches full-stack web development, from your first line of HTML to deployment: HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Python; React and Next.js; Django, FastAPI and Node.js; REST APIs, SQL and databases; Git and GitHub; and AI-assisted development with tools like GitHub Copilot. Your roadmap sets the order, and what you can skip, for your goal.

There is no fixed timeline at ZAM Academy, because it depends on where you start and how many hours you have each week. The milestones are: in the first 30 days, your roadmap, a routine and a first project; by 90 days, visible progress and a project moving toward deployment; after that, a portfolio and interview readiness.

Yes. ZAM Academy is fully online and in English, and sessions are scheduled around your time zone and your job — evenings and weekends included. Mentor messaging hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Malaysia time (GMT+8), excluding Malaysian public holidays; Zami AI answers at any hour.

Zami AI is available anytime and knows your roadmap and recent work. For human help, message your mentor. Guided: your mentor usually replies the same working day. Accelerator: your mentor replies to you before Guided students. Career Pro: your mentor replies to you first, before every other plan. Mentor hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Malaysia time (GMT+8), excluding Malaysian public holidays.

Use it too — ZAM Academy includes Zami, an AI tutor, in every plan. But AI will not notice that you are learning the wrong thing or that you have stopped showing up. Your mentor will, and reviews the code you actually wrote.

MentorCruise and Codementor are marketplaces: you pick an individual mentor, and each mentor sets their own format and price. ZAM Academy is one structured programme: a mentor from the ZAM team, a personal roadmap, code review, real projects, and the Zami dashboard and AI tutor, on three fixed monthly plans. It suits beginners who want the path planned with them.

Yes. ZAM Academy plans are billed monthly with no long-term contract, so you can stop at the end of any month. Your first paid month is also refundable if you contact us within 14 days and the mentorship is not the right fit.

No — ZAM Academy does not guarantee a job, salary, or hiring date. It helps you build practical skills, projects, a stronger portfolio, and interview readiness, but employment depends on many external factors.

Start with two free private classes and no card. If you continue, contact us within the first 14 days of your first paid plan if the mentorship is not the right fit. On Accelerator and Career Pro, if you attend your sessions and complete the assigned work but miss the agreed 90-day project milestone, mentoring continues at no additional mentorship fee for up to 60 more days.
