Your child’s future is priceless — and that’s why Lakehouse Mentorship is an investment in premium, transformative experiences. No boring endless classes. No overcrowded group sessions. Just tailored mentorship that produces real, lasting results.
Why the premium pricing? Because this is intentionally not scalable. I have a limited number of hours, and each one is devoted entirely to your child. Every session is custom-designed, deeply personal, and backed by 21+ years of real-world expertise.
Personal In-Person Mentorship
The Premium Lakehouse Experience
$75/h, $600 per full day (8 hours) | $3,000 for a 5-day immersion week
This is the flagship experience — full-day immersion at the lakehouse where your child is surrounded by tools, technology, creativity, and hands-on learning.
What’s included:
- Meeting kickoff — We start by meeting at your home or a local coffee shop. We get to know each other as families, not clients. This builds the trust that makes everything else work.
- Custom project design — Based on your child’s interests, I design a hands-on journey that might span coding, building, music, or all of the above.
- Full-day immersion — 8 hours of mentorship, including structured project time, exploratory tinkering, lake activities, meals, and genuine conversation.
- Detailed progress reports — After each session, you receive a summary of what we did, what your child excelled at, and suggested next steps.
- Ongoing support — Between sessions, your child can reach out with questions. A real mentor doesn’t clock out.
Ideal for:
- Ages 11-17
- Families in the Clermont/Orlando area
- Kids who need deep, immersive experiences
- Parents looking for more than a tutor
Online Mentorship
The Flexible Remote Plan
$100/h, $200 per 2-hour session | $1,500 for 8-session monthly package
For families who aren’t local to central Florida or want a lighter touch, the online plan delivers focused, project-based mentorship through video calls.
What’s included:
- Virtual 1:1 sessions — Video calls with screen sharing, live coding, and project walkthrough.
- Project guidance — We pick a goal together (e.g., build a drone app, create a website, learn guitar basics), then work toward it week by week.
- Homework challenges — Between sessions, your child gets specific tasks to keep momentum going.
- Resource sharing — Curated tools, tutorials, and materials tailored to your child’s path.
- Async Q&A — Quick questions via chat between sessions, so your child never feels stuck alone.
Ideal for:
- Remote families anywhere in the world
- Kids who already have a direction but need expert guidance
- Quick boosts on specific projects or skills
- Supplemental mentorship alongside in-person sessions

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really worth the investment? Consider what you spend on activities that don’t create lasting change. Lakehouse Mentorship is designed to spark a lifelong trajectory — curiosity, skills, and confidence that compound over years. One transformative mentorship experience can be worth more than years of traditional classes.
What if my child doesn’t connect with Sergei? That’s exactly why we start with a meeting in person — no commitment. If the chemistry isn’t right, there’s no obligation. This only works when the connection is genuine.
What about safety? Safety is paramount. The lakehouse environment is family-friendly, and I’m committed to creating a space where kids can explore and take reasonable risks while staying safe. I’m happy to discuss specific safety protocols during our initial meeting.
Can my child just try one session? Absolutely. There’s no long-term commitment required. Many families start with a single day to see if it’s a fit.
Do you offer refunds? If you’re not satisfied with the experience, let’s talk about it. I’d rather have happy families than unhappy contracts.
