In this beginner course, CodaKid provides foundational computer science training using Python. Covering key coding concepts such as basic conditionals, loops, and print statements, we build a series of progressively more rigorous projects that provide a solid foundation in Python programming

CodaKid’s research-based, project based learning (PBL) approach to Python 1 keeps the learning fun and engaging, while ensuring a solid foundation in CS.

Upon completion of Python 1 Core, students will be ready to advance to Python 2 Core.

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.

  • 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. In the event that there is a family emergency or a seasonal change, we may need to find a new instructor. We will work with you and your student to make sure that the new instructor is a fit and guarantee your satisfaction.

  • 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.

  • What happens if I forget to cancel and miss my session?

    Our policy is that classes must be rescheduled 24+ hours in advance. Unfortunately sessions that are not rescheduled in time are not eligible for a makeup class or refund. As CodaKid pays our teachers for no-shows, this is a strict policy.

  • How much do private classes cost?

    Our standard private tutoring plans start at $249 USD per month. This includes live instruction via Zoom with your private instructor, weekly homework assignments, daily progress reports, between session homework support from our teacher team, a free subscription to CodaKid's platform, and participation in our community events.

If you don't cancel your subscription before your 3rd session, you will automatically be billed for the selected membership fee every month until you cancel or change your subscription type.

  • How do I get Started?

    Your first step is to sign up for CodaKid’s 2 session free trial! Once we receive your signup information, we will send you a questionnaire to get your preferred schedule and other information to help us place you with the perfect instructor. Once you return the questionnaire, we will email and call you to confirm the start date and time of your first free trial session.

  • Am I locked into a long term contract?

    No. All CodaKid Private courses are billed month to month and can be cancelled from your next billing date forward.

  • What happens if I forget to cancel and miss my class?

    Our policy is that classes must be rescheduled 24+ hours in advance. Unfortunately sessions that are not rescheduled in time are not eligible for a makeup class or refund. As CodaKid pays our teachers for no-shows, this is a strict policy.
