I’m launching a Patreon to teach Manim

Hi,

I’m launching a Patreon focused on teaching Manim.

Over time, a lot of people have asked variations of the same questions:

  • how to actually structure Manim projects beyond toy examples
  • how to debug Manim without wasting days
  • how to use ChatGPT / LLMs without generating unusable code
  • how to do 3D or VTK-style visualizations properly
  • how to turn math or physics ideas into clean, reusable animations

That’s what this Patreon is for.

This is not a SaaS plan and not a Mathify feature.
It’s a separate, teaching-focused offering for people who want to seriously learn and use Manim and related tooling.

How it works

The Patreon has two tiers, intentionally simple.

$100 / month — Workshops

This tier gives access to:

  • One live Manim workshop per month
  • Practical, code-first sessions
  • Real examples: project structure, debugging, performance, workflows
  • Q&A during the session
  • Access to all workshop recordings

Topics will rotate, but expect things like:

  • Manim fundamentals that aren’t obvious from the docs
  • Structuring real animation projects
  • Debugging and performance issues
  • Using LLMs to generate, refine, and clean up Manim code
  • ManimVTK (which I invented) and 3D visualization workflows

This tier is for people who want structured learning without committing to 1-on-1 time.

$1,000 / month — Weekly 1-on-1 tutoring (very limited)

This tier is for people who want direct, hands-on help.

It includes:

  • One private 1-on-1 session per week (60 minutes)
  • Help on your actual projects
  • Manim, ManimVTK, and LLM → Manim workflows
  • Code review, debugging, and architectural guidance
  • Workshop access included

Availability is intentionally limited so this stays sustainable and valuable.

Who this is for (and who it isn’t)

This Patreon is meant for:

  • students
  • educators
  • researchers
  • developers
  • science / math content creators

It’s not designed for casual browsing or passive content consumption.
It’s a small, focused setup for people who want real instruction.

Why I’m doing this

Teaching Manim properly and maintaining tools in this space takes time and focus.
This Patreon is a way to:

  • offer structured learning
  • work directly with people who want deeper guidance
  • and support continued development of related projects (including Mathify)

Thanks for reading — and thanks to everyone who’s been following and using my work so far.

Appreciatively,
