One-on-One Node.js Mentorship

I’m looking for a patient Node.js developer who can guide me from the basics through to building a full-featured eCommerce API. I’m a complete beginner, so I’d like to start with the fundamentals of creating and using REST endpoints and then progressively cover middleware, routing, authentication, and deployment.

Here’s how I picture the engagement:
• Structured live sessions (screen-share or video) where you explain each concept, demonstrate in code, and let me drive while you coach.
• Short homework tasks after every lesson so I can practice on my own.
• A small sample project that evolves into an eCommerce-style API backed by MongoDB—covering CRUD operations, JWT-based auth, and role management.
• Clear, commented source files and notes I can revisit later.

If you’re comfortable breaking down complex topics into beginner-friendly steps and have hands-on experience with MongoDB, Express, and modern JavaScript tooling, I’d love to learn from you. Please outline your teaching approach, the tools you prefer, and how many hours you estimate to get me production-ready.
