Coding & STEM Classes for Neurodiverse Children

We offer affordable private online coding classes to children ages 7 and up. We have classes for beginners as well as classes for children with previous coding experience – there is something for everyone!

All our classes are highly personalized to suit the interests of your child. Our 1 on 1 tutoring allows our trained tutors to work closely with your child to support their diverse learning needs.

Some of the classes we offer include:

  • Scratch Beginners (A block-based language developed by MIT, a great class for beginners)
  • Scratch Advanced
  • Web Development (Learn how to code your very own website)
  • Python (Learn a text-based language while playing games!)
  • Java (Dive deep into more advanced coding concepts)
  • AI & Machine Learning (A beginner-friendly introduction to AI)
  • Music & Coding (An interdisciplinary class that has never been done before – explore what happens when we unite music and coding together!)

Our classes are offered online in a super fun and engaging way to capture the attention of your child. We also offer free trials to every new student to make sure our classes are the right fit for your child!
