ABOUT US

Tutoring for IT, made by the people who actually do it.

Study IT is a reaction to the bad experiences most of us had with online tutoring. Platforms full of 19-year-old students explaining Java from a textbook. Big providers throwing math, English, and biology tutors at IT students.

We do one thing: 1:1 sessions with real backend developers who have been writing code in industry for years.

MISSION

From exam stress to "ah, now I get it."

If you study computer science or do a FIAE apprenticeship, you know the feeling. 90% of the material makes sense, but on the 10% you are stuck on, the rest does not get easier either. Lectures move too fast, the textbook is too abstract, ChatGPT generalizes.

What you need is a person who knows how it works in practice and takes 60 minutes to untangle that exact knot with you. So next time the exercise sticks, and you get through the material up to the exam without getting blocked.

That is Study IT. Small, focused, fairly priced.

WHAT MATTERS TO US

Four things we will not negotiate.

01

Only real developers teach.

No third-semester students who are still learning the material themselves. Every tutor passes a live-coding task and a 30-minute trial conversation.

02

You understand. We do not upsell.

In the first chat we are honest. If you do not need 1:1 tutoring, we say so. We do not earn money on sessions that lead nowhere.

03

Concept before solution.

We do not do your homework for you. We look at it together until you understand why the solution works. Next time you can do it on your own.

04

Transparent pricing.

59.99 € per hour, 60 minutes long, no minimum package, no subscription. No lock-in contracts, no hidden fees.

FROM THE FOUNDER

Why Study IT exists.

I built Study IT because I have seen first-hand how computer-science teaching at university falls apart.

Our tutors are working developers, not student side-jobbers.

SO FAR

How we got here.

  1. 2018

    Computer science at TU Kaiserslautern

    Marcel begins computer science. Tutors first-year students on the side. Notices that many do not fail at the material itself, they fail because nobody walks them through it once.

  2. 2020

    First backend role

    Junior Java developer, later tech lead. Continues tutoring on the side. Mostly former classmates who got stuck partway through their studies.

  3. 2024

    The idea

    "It cannot really be true that nothing decent exists for this." First concepts for Study IT: a platform where students learn 1:1 with professionals from industry.

  4. 2026

    Launch

    We launch with a hand-picked team. Tutors from real dev teams, focused on Java, Python, OOP. Free first chat for an informal introduction.
