What are your current skills in Python and programming in general?
(Just approximately, like “never programmed at all”, “never wrote a program longer than one screen”, “senior developer in C++ but never used Python” etc.)
Took APCS (Java 101-102) in high school (culminating with coding Tetris in Java), read through Diveintopython3.net, done a bunch of miscellaneous programs in Python, lots of experience in Linux.
Hm. My background is computer science at university, about 20 years of Java, plus some Python in my free time. Chances are, you know more about Python than I do, so the useful advice I could provide would be in the “programming in general” area, which of course also applies to Python code. Either something theoretical (e.g. finite-state machines), or something from practice (e.g. test-driven development); actually those are the only two examples that come to my mind right now, but maybe if I think longer about it, I will find something more. Also, you could show me your code for a review.
If you want a project, I think a fun exercise could be to design your own toy language and write its interpreter in Python.
If you are interested, send me a private message and let’s figure out how to communicate.

Thinking about math, the part relevant for alignment seems to be logic. Could give you a short introduction, but nothing too advanced.
Seems like in both programming and math, I can help you make a step or two forward, but it will still be far from where you want to get. Just saying it in advance, to keep your expectations appropriately low.
