Testimonials

  1. My 12 year old loved their Minecraft programming course. It kick-started his interest in computer science. A huge plus for busy parents is the outstanding and swift support from CodaKid. No frustrating long deadlock, but friendly, competent help to keep the kids going and exploring. Brilliant!

  2. We LOVE CodaKid. We couldn’t even imagine a better experience. People are amazing -- very warm, supportive and enthusiastic. And the program that they have designed is fabulous. My kids have attended several other programs and say Codakid far surpasses the others.

  3. This has been a great addition to our home school curriculum! My son loves spending time in the program and even jumps back in after school when he's finished his other work. The response to help requests is always immediate and they do a great job finding and explaining the issues he may be having.

  4. We love everything about CodaKid! The customer service is great. They’re flexible and easy to work with. Our 7 year old grandson has been working with his tutor for over a year and it’s exciting to watch him learn and grow. Ethan has an incredible way of communicating and interacting with Jonathan which makes every coding class so beneficial and an exciting part of Jonathan’s education. What great instructors CodaKid choose. I highly recommend CodaKid!

  5. We are very happy with CodaKid Coding Academy. Our son is learning Java and Minecraft modding. He enjoys it a lot and made a huge leap in his skills.

  6. I've tried several online 1-on-1 coding classes for my son (starting at age 7, he's now 9) and CodaKid is outstanding in the quality of its instructors and ease of operation; he's doing Java coding for Minecraft mods and LOVES it. Highly recommended.
