Students love the courses...
Who This Is For âĄď¸
You might be here because:
- You can write basic queries (SELECT, WHERE, simple joins), but when companies test you on window functions, CTEs, or optimization, you freeze.
- Youâve done toy exercises, but you donât have a project portfolio that proves you can solve real business problems.
- You trust tutorials, but feel stuck in tutorial-mode. You donât know how to tie your SQL knowledge to REAL product metrics or business models.
In short: you want to level up from a âknows enough to surviveâ to someone whoâs undeniably competent in data analytics, SQL, and technical interviews.
What You'll BecomeÂ
From Struggling to Confident
Stop freezing up when interviewers ask about CTEs, window functions, or self joins. Youâll learn how to confidently write queries that hiring managers respect.
From Slow Queries to Smart SQL
No more brute-force, messy queries that barely run. Youâll learn optimization patterns and cleaner SQL habits so your code is faster, scalable, and interview-ready.
From Silly Exercises to Real Projects
Leave behind copy & pasted tutorials that donât translate to the real world. Build a portfolio w/ projects on SaaS data that prove you can solve REAL business problems, not just classroom examples.
From Lonely to Mentorship
Stop being lonely and feeling overwhelmed and lost. Expedite your success and next job with the power of community and mentorship from Jess in the course Discord.Â
