AI Trainer/Mentor Needed – Beginner to Job-Ready AI, Machine Learning & Generative AI

I’m looking for an experienced **AI trainer/mentor** who can provide structured, one-to-one online training and help me progress from AI fundamentals to practical, job-ready skills. The objective is not simply to complete a course or learn theory. I want to **understand AI concepts clearly, gain hands-on experience through practical projects, and develop skills that I can confidently demonstrate during job interviews**. The training should be beginner-friendly and gradually progress from fundamentals to more advanced and practical topics. ### Learning Areas The training should cover: **1. AI Fundamentals** * Artificial Intelligence concepts and terminology * How modern AI systems work * Real-world AI use cases * AI models, data, training and inference * Responsible AI, governance and AI ethics **2. Machine Learning Fundamentals** * Machine Learning concepts explained from the basics * Supervised and unsupervised learning * Classification, regression and clustering * Training, testing and evaluating models * Basic Python required for AI/ML * Practical ML exercises using real datasets **3. Generative AI** * Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) * Prompt engineering * Embeddings and vector databases * Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) * AI agents and agentic workflows * Working with AI APIs * Building practical Generative AI applications * Understanding model selection, limitations, security and responsible AI Where appropriate, I would like exposure to tools/platforms such as Python, Jupyter/Google Colab, GitHub, Hugging Face, OpenAI/Azure OpenAI, LangChain or similar frameworks, vector databases and low-code AI platforms. ### Hands-On Learning Practical learning is very important. I would like each stage to include exercises, assignments and mini-projects rather than training being primarily presentation-based. Ideally, we should build **2–3 portfolio-quality AI projects** that I can demonstrate to potential employers. Examples could include a RAG-based knowledge assistant, an AI automation/agent, or a practical Machine Learning solution. ### Career & Interview Support I also want the trainer to help translate the learning into employment opportunities. This should include: * Reviewing and improving my resume/CV to highlight AI skills and projects * Identifying realistic AI-related roles I can target * Preparing technical and scenario-based interview questions * Two mock interviews with detailed feedback * Guidance on LinkedIn/GitHub/project portfolio presentation * Job-search and networking strategies ### Expected Deliverables By the end of the engagement, I expect to have: * A personalised AI → ML → Generative AI learning roadmap * Regular live one-to-one online sessions * Practical exercises and assignments with feedback * 2–3 completed portfolio projects * Supporting notes/resources for continued learning * An AI-focused updated resume * Interview preparation material * Two mock interviews with feedback * A practical job-search strategy ### Who I’m Looking For Please apply if you have strong practical experience in **AI, Machine Learning and Generative AI** and, importantly, experience teaching beginners. I prefer someone who can explain complex concepts in simple language rather than assuming an advanced programming or mathematics background. Industry experience implementing real AI/Generative AI solutions would be highly valued. ### Please Include in Your Proposal To help me shortlist serious trainers, please answer the following: 1. What is your professional experience with AI/ML and Generative AI? 2. How many beginners have you trained or mentored? 3. What curriculum would you recommend for this learning journey? 4. Which tools and technologies would you teach? 5. What practical projects would we build together? 6. How would you approach someone with limited programming experience? 7. Can you provide resume, interview and job-search support? 8. What duration do you recommend for becoming practically job-ready? 9. How many hours per week would you recommend? 10. Please provide an example of a previous student project or learning roadmap, if possible. **Important:** I am not looking for pre-recorded courses or someone who simply follows existing tutorials. I am looking for a **live trainer and mentor who can personalise the program, review my work, answer questions and guide me towards practical AI skills and employment opportunities.** ### Skills Artificial Intelligence (AI) Generative AI Machine Learning Large Language Models (LLMs) Prompt Engineering RAG AI Agents AI Development AI Consulting AI Strategy AI Model Development Python AI Ethics / Responsible AI AI Upskilling Career Mentoring
