Tutoring
AI Tutor
Pristone Academy offers premium one-on-one AI tutoring from an MIT EECS graduate and senior engineer who builds production AI systems day to day. You learn how modern AI actually works — large language models, prompting and evaluation, retrieval and agents, and where the technology is genuinely useful versus overhyped — taught from real practice, not a recycled course outline. Every session is private and built around your goals.
Premium private coaching, typically structured as multi-session engagements.
This is premium, private 1:1 tutoring led personally by a practicing AI engineer — not a templated cohort course or a recorded video series. If you're looking for the lowest-cost way to 'learn AI', a free course or community bootcamp will suit you better than this program.
Who this is for
Students and professionals who want to genuinely understand modern AI rather than collect buzzwords — university students, engineers adding AI to their toolkit, founders evaluating AI for their products, and serious self-learners.
- Engineers who want to add real AI fluency to their skill set
- Founders and product people evaluating AI for real use cases
- University students in AI, ML, or NLP-adjacent coursework
- Self-learners who want depth and judgment, not just tool tutorials
What you walk away with
- ✓A real working model of how modern AI systems are built and behave
- ✓The judgment to tell genuine capability from hype
- ✓Hands-on fluency with prompting, evaluation, and AI-assisted workflows
- ✓A practical foundation you can apply to your own projects or work
Who this is not for
Being upfront about fit saves everyone time — including yours. This program is not a good match if:
- Anyone looking for the cheapest possible way to 'get into AI'
- People who want a fixed, generic syllabus rather than a plan built for them
- Those who only want tool walkthroughs with no underlying understanding
- Learners unwilling to engage between sessions with reading or practice
What we can cover
Foundations of modern AI
How large language models and modern AI systems actually work — at a level deep enough to reason about them, not just use them.
Prompting, evaluation & tooling
Practical skills for getting reliable results from AI tools, plus how to evaluate outputs honestly instead of trusting them blindly.
Agents, retrieval & real systems
How retrieval-augmented generation, agents, and production AI systems are designed, and what actually breaks in practice.
Applied to your goals
Bring your project, your role, or your curiosity. Sessions are built around what you're actually trying to do with AI.
