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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I make my first payment?

Once you have completed your call with our Enrollment Specialist, you will be billed for your first month’s tuition. In the event that you do not like CodaKid, we offer a full money-back guarantee within your first 2 sessions.
What are your support hours?

CodaKid offers online support 7 days a week! For the quickest responses, please contact us any time Monday- Friday.
My child does not fall between the ages of 7 to 15. Can he still take the course?

Yes! Our courses are designed for children as young as 7. Children younger than 7 may take them, but may need more support from our instructors or a parent. We have also had a number of adult students take our self-study video courses with a lot of great success.
My child doesn't have any experience. Are these courses good for beginners?

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. Intermediate and Advanced courses build upon the foundation established in the beginner courses. It is highly recommended that students complete the introductory and beginner courses in each path prior to taking a higher level course.
How long does it take to complete each course?

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. The amount of time it takes your child to complete any given project will depend on the course and the child's speed.
Which computer languages do you teach?

CodaKid teaches Python, JavaScript, Java, Lua, Scratch, C#, HTML, CSS, and the Unreal Blueprints scripting language - with more on the way! With CodaKid, students gain experience writing real code using the same tools that the pros use. We have a unique way of making our courses accessible to absolute beginners as young as age 7. We hope you'll give them a try!
Where is CodaKid based?

CodaKid is based in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona in the United States.
Who are the people behind CodaKid?

Do you have a free trial?

Yes! CodaKid provides a free trial for both our self-study and private tutoring programs. For our self-study, we provide a 14 day free trial with unlimited access to all of our courses. If you like our service, just stay on past the 14 days and your card will be automatically billed on day 14, then every 30 days until you decide to cancel. Otherwise, you can cancel at any time during your 14 trial and pay nothing. For our private tutoring program, we offer a free session to every new family. If you decide to continue after your trial, we will charge your card right before your 2nd session and every month thereafter until you decide to cancel.
Are these online courses self-paced or live?

We offer both options through two great programs: our self-study video courses and our private online tutoring.

Our self-paced program can be taken anytime – on your schedule. Students will watch HD video lessons, pause the videos, code, design, and then test their work. 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.
What Plan Will Be Best for My Child or Teen?

If your student is an absolute beginner, we recommend our Private plan so we can give him or her a personalized introduction to computer programming. If your student is a natural born techie who wants to learn how to become an independent game developer, web programmer, or game designer as quickly as possible, we recommend our Private Accelerated plan.
Do you have a satisfaction guarantee?

In the event that you do not like CodaKid, we offer a full money-back guarantee within your first 2 sessions.
Will my instructor change week to week?

CodaKid will make every effort to ensure that your child or teen has the same teacher each week.
