Testimonials

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Our friendly instructional team is there every step of the way with awesome, award-winning support! Just use our handy chat button inside the learning platform or email the support team.

Our private tutoring program will connect you with one of our excellent, US-based instructors from one of the top 50 universities in the country. Your instructor will guide your child through our award-winning curriculum using the Mastery Method - our unique, Socratic approach towards teaching coding.

Most of our courses can be completed within a couple of hours based on the student’s desire to build and customize their game. That said, many of our more intermediate and advanced courses can take upwards of 20 hours to complete.

Beginners Welcome

Absolutely! Our introductory and beginner courses (labeled as ‘INTRO’ and ‘BEG’ on the platform) are designed for students with little to no experience. These courses start off slower and ramp up steadily. Videos can be rewound and re-watched if necessary, and the video speed can be slowed down or sped up to best accommodate different speeds. Our online instructional team is available for additional help when needed.
