My background: I’m a mechanical engineer who taught myself coding online and have been working for Amazon as an engineer for the past two years (I’m miserable there and about to quit).

I have been dreaming about starting a small local in-person tutoring business where I teach kids (ages 8 to 15) how to do some simple computer coding. I am creating a course based on a language called scratch that’s really fun for kids.

In parallel, I have been helping some friends do some advanced excel and Python coding and realized that I could help accountants, lawyers and engineers do some cool simple programming themselves.

Does this idea pass the sniff test or am I missing something obvious?

    I run a franchised coding school for the past two years now. It’s a lot of fun and has it’s own challenges, happy I opened it though.
