Coding lessons for kids online, for the way British schools teach computing
British children meet coding earlier than most: Scratch in Key Stage 2, Python in Key Stage 3 computing, and GCSE Computer Science as an option at 14, with a programming paper done on a computer. The gap is that the school has one computing teacher for a year group, the lessons are fortnightly, and the child who did not understand functions in Year 8 arrives at GCSE unable to write the programming paper. The coding clubs and holiday camps are good for enthusiasm and poor for that gap.
Our online coding classes for kids in the UK are one tutor with one child on a shared screen, at 4 to 8 pm UK time, which is an Indian late evening our tutors teach in shifts. Under 11 the child builds games in Scratch, then Python with turtle graphics first; from Year 7 we teach Python the way KS3 computing expects it; from Year 10, GCSE Computer Science on the OCR (J277) or AQA (8525) specification, the programming paper in Python and the theory paper from past papers, and A-level (OCR H446, AQA 7517) with the project. Billed monthly, about £8 to £10 an hour, the recording and the code after every class.

The ladder
Which language at which age, for a child in the UK
| 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 |
The British order is friendly to the ladder: Scratch in KS2, Python in KS3, GCSE at 14 to 16. What we add is the thing the fortnightly lesson cannot: a child typing for most of the hour with someone reading every line.
GCSE computer science tutor online
📝 GCSE and A-level Computer Science, how we teach it
- OCR J277 and AQA 8525: Paper 1 theory (systems, networks, security, data) and Paper 2 algorithms and programming, from past papers
- Python for the programming questions: trace tables, pseudocode to Python and back, the exam board's own reference language
- A-level OCR H446 and AQA 7517, with the programming project planned from the first term
- KS3 computing (Years 7 to 9): Python, Micro:bit, the first algorithms
- The 11-plus and KS2 are maths and English; coding starts after

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
1Do you teach GCSE Computer Science online?
Yes, on the OCR J277 and AQA 8525 specifications: the theory paper from the specification and past papers, marked to the mark scheme, and the programming paper in Python, practised on a shared screen every week, which is the format the exam itself uses. From Year 10, one hour a week; two in the exam term.
2My child does Scratch at school and is bored. What next?
Python, with pictures first. A Year 5 or 6 child who is bored by Scratch has usually learned what it teaches and wants to type; turtle graphics gives them a line of real Python and a drawing in the same minute, and a quiz or a guessing game follows within weeks. We check in the free class that the typing is there.
3What time are classes in the UK?
4 to 8 pm UK time on school days, which is 8:30 pm to 12:30 am in India; our evening tutors teach those hours in shifts. Saturday and Sunday mornings UK time are Indian afternoons. A 45-minute class for a child under 11, an hour from about 11.
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.
