You've probably tried to learn AI on your own. Maybe you watched a few YouTube tutorials. Maybe you signed up for an online course, got through the first two modules, and never went back. You're not lazy — the format just doesn't work for most people.
Here's the problem with courses: they teach you what AI can do in theory. An NYC AI coach teaches you what AI can do for you, right now, with your actual work and your actual life. That's a different thing entirely.
The Difference Between Information and Understanding
Information is free. Understanding costs time. And the fastest way to understand something new is to have someone sit next to you and walk you through it — someone who can read your face when you're confused and adjust on the fly.
That's what I do. I'm Shahzad. I live in Carroll Gardens and I bike to people's homes across Brooklyn to teach AI one-on-one. No classroom. No curriculum. Just your laptop, your questions, and an hour together at your kitchen table.
What Makes In-Person Coaching Different
A retired journalist in Brooklyn Heights booked a session because she wanted to use AI for research. She'd tried online — spent a weekend reading articles, watched a webinar, even started a free trial on a learning platform. By Monday she still couldn't get it to do anything useful.
In our session, I watched her type a question and immediately saw the issue: she was asking the tool the way she'd ask Google. Within twenty minutes, she was getting detailed, sourced responses that actually helped her current project. The difference wasn't intelligence — it was having someone there to spot the small things.
Your Problems, Not Generic Examples
Online courses use generic examples. A personal AI tutor in New York uses yours. If you're a therapist in Park Slope who needs help with clinical notes, that's what we work on. If you're a real estate agent in Boerum Hill drowning in listing descriptions, we tackle that. The session is built around your life, not a syllabus.
Why NYC Needs This
New Yorkers are busy. You don't have time to sift through 47 blog posts to figure out which AI tool works for your situation. You want someone to tell you what to use, show you how, and let you get back to your day. That's the value of an NYC AI coach — it's efficient, it's personal, and it sticks.
I work across Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, and Red Hook. I bike to you. We meet at your place or a local coffee shop. First session is $75.
