AI Tutor in Houston (and Online)

Pristone Academy offers private 1:1 AI tutoring in Houston and online, led by Edward Mabonga — an MIT EECS graduate and senior software engineer who builds production AI systems. You learn how modern AI actually works — large language models, prompting, evaluation, and agents — taught from real practice and built around your goals. Sessions are available online, so you can work with Edward from anywhere.

Premium private coaching, typically structured as multi-session engagements.
