Coding, taught 1-on-1
Coding classes for kids online that are built around the child's own project
Most online coding classes for kids are a group of six to ten children watching a tutor's screen, in a course written for all of them, and the result is a child who can follow instructions in Scratch or Python and cannot write a program alone. Coding is learned the way a language is: by producing it, with someone reading what you produce. That is what a 1-on-1 class is, and why it is the form we teach in.
The class is one tutor with one child on a shared screen. The child types; the tutor watches every line and stops the error where it happens, which is how the habit behind the bug is caught. Every child works on a project of their own choosing inside the ladder below (a game in Scratch, a quiz or a text adventure in Python, a website, an AP free-response set), and finishes something every few weeks. The tutor is the same every week, the recording and the code go to the parent after every class, and the first class is free.

The same rate as every subject we teach, billed monthly, no package. Coding schools commonly sell group courses by the term and list private coding lessons at several times this; the difference is the tutor's location, not the teaching. Full price table →
The ladder
Which language at which age, and what the child builds
| Age and grade | Language | What the child builds | Why it is the right step |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 to 10 · Grades 2 to 5 | Scratch | Sprites that move and talk, a maze game, an animated story, a quiz with a score | Logic (loops, events, conditions) without typing or syntax errors; a finished game every few weeks |
| 10 to 13 · Grades 5 to 8 | Python | Turtle drawings, a number-guessing game, a quiz, a text adventure, small data tools | The first typed language, taught slowly enough that the child can write a program alone |
| 12 to 16 · Grades 7 to 11 | Web development | A real website, published: HTML structure, CSS layout, JavaScript buttons and forms | Something to show, and the language of every app the child uses |
| 14 to 18 · Grades 9 to 12 | Java and AP Computer Science A | Classes and objects, arrays, recursion, the AP free-response patterns | The school CS course and the AP exam in May; the way universities teach |
| 13 to 18 · Grades 8 to 12 | AI and machine learning | What a model is, training one in Python on real data, the questions to ask of any AI | Built on Python; a project the child can explain |
| 15 to 18 · Grades 10 to 12 | AP Computer Science Principles | The Create performance task and the five big ideas | AP CSP, the gentler AP; counts for college credit |
A child can join at any rung: a 9-year-old who has done Scratch at school starts Python; a 15-year-old with no coding starts Python and reaches Java in a year. The language is a tool; what the class teaches is how to break a problem into steps and how to find the bug.
before you choose any coding class
🔎 Five checks for any online coding class for kids
- Who types for most of the hour, the child or the tutor? Watch the trial class and count
- Is there a project the child chose, or a course everyone follows?
- Does anyone read the child's code between classes, and send it back?
- Is it the same tutor every week?
- Is it paid monthly, or a package paid up front?

| Australia and New Zealand (2.5 to 7.5 h ahead) | 4 to 7 pm | late morning to afternoon | the easiest match |
how a coding class runs
💻 Sixty minutes, one child typing
- Five minutes: last week's program, run together, bugs found aloud
- Ten minutes: one new idea, shown on the shared screen with the tutor typing live
- Thirty minutes: the child types, the tutor watches every line and stops the error where it happens
- Ten minutes: the next piece of the project planned, in the child's words
- After class: the recording, the code and a short note to the parent
For a child under 11 the class is 45 minutes. Parents are welcome in every class, and the code and the recording arrive after each one.
what the child needs
🧰 The checklist
- A laptop or desktop with a keyboard and mouse (a tablet is fine for Scratch, not for Python)
- Scratch 3 runs in the browser, free; Python 3 with Thonny or VS Code, free, installed together in the first class
- A Google or Microsoft account for the shared screen
- Forty-five minutes for a child under 11, sixty from about 11
- Nothing paid up front: the first class is free

Knowledge base
Parents ask about coding classes
1Which online coding class is best for a complete beginner?
For a child under 10, a Scratch class where the child builds a game of their own in the first month. For 10 and over, Python with turtle graphics first, then text programs. 'Best' is decided by one thing you can check in a trial class: whether the child types for most of the hour. A class where the tutor's screen does the coding teaches following, not coding.
2Do you follow a curriculum, or the school's computing course?
Both, depending on the child. Under 13 we follow our own ladder (Scratch, then Python) with the child's project inside it. From 13 we can teach the school's course where there is one: KS3 computing and GCSE Computer Science in the UK, the AP Computer Science courses in the US, O-level Computing in Singapore, the Digital Technologies strand in Australia, CBSE Class 11 and 12 Computer Science (Python) for Indian schools abroad.
3Can a child do coding and maths with you at the same time?
Yes, and many do: one coding class and one maths class a week, often with different tutors. The two help each other, because the thinking is the same: break the problem into steps, test each step, find where it goes wrong.
4What age should a child start coding classes?
About 7 for Scratch, where the logic is in blocks and nothing has to be typed; about 10 to 11 for Python, once the child can type a sentence without hunting for keys and reads instructions on a screen comfortably. A 13-year-old who has never coded starts in Python directly. The free class finds the right starting point in twenty minutes.
5Scratch or Python first?
Under 10, Scratch: the child learns loops, conditions, variables and events by building games, and syntax errors do not exist. From 10 or 11, Python, where the same ideas are typed. A child who has done a year of Scratch moves to Python in about six weeks because the ideas are already there.
6Why 1-on-1 rather than a group coding class?
Because coding is learned by typing, not by watching. In a group class of six to ten the tutor's screen does the coding and the children follow; the child who is stuck waits, and the child who is ahead waits too. In a 1-on-1 class the child types for most of the hour and the tutor reads every line as it is written, which is the only way to catch the habit behind the bug.
7Who teaches, and how do I know they can code?
Tutors with a master's degree who teach Python, Java and web development every week, the same tutor for your child all year, on a shared screen where you can see the code. Sit in on the free class, ask the tutor to build something small live, and read the code afterwards; it will be in the recording.
8What does my child need?
A laptop or desktop with a keyboard and a mouse. Scratch runs in the browser; Python and the editor are free and installed together in the first class. A tablet works for Scratch, not for typed languages.
9How much does it cost, and is the first class free?
The same hourly rate as every subject we teach: about US$10 to $13 an hour, in your currency, billed monthly, no package, with the recording and the code after every class. The first class is a free 30-minute lesson with you in the room; after it we send a short plan and the exact rate, and you decide.
