★★★★★Natasha DonagheyHi, My son has been with Codakid for almost a year. He has had two instructors who were both fantastic. Its a collaborative, free flowing class that engages the imagination and creativity, as well as imparting coding skills. The administration of the service is outstanding: prompt, efficient and flexible. I highly recommend CodaKid! Happy mum
★★★★★Ashley MartinMy daughter took their MindCraft modding class and really enjoyed it. We had several technical issues on our end, but the staff and CodaKid were very responsive and helpful. I really appreciated the session notes and homework to keep me up in what she was doing. My hope is to get her started on some coding basics in a game she really enjoys and the 1st module course definitely got her started. There isn't many classes offered for teenagers her age. I feel really fortunate we found CodaKid. I hope my daughter is up for it next summer.
★★★★★Gabriella CollinsMy son is always excited for his next private lesson! The instructor is kind, thoughtful and professional, working on an agenda yes, but always keeping in mind where my son is at in understanding and engagement. I also really appreciate how at the end of every session, we get notes emailed to us on what he did and what he can work on! The company has always been incredibly receptive to requests I have made or when a concern has popped up. I am glad I chose CodaKid!
★★★★★Annie FranklinCodaKid has been a fantastic platform for my son to learn coding. The independent courses are well done and allow for kids to be very self-sufficient while they progress through them. If there are any issues, the customer service is prompt and knowledgeable. The one-on-one tutoring has been especially helpful for my son with dyslexia. He is thriving with his instructor and has found an atmosphere where he feels competent and confident. Thank you, CodaKid, for your personal and professional approach to coding education. There are many coding courses out there, but you are truly a superior organization with an approach that is sure to train up the best coders of the next generation.
★★★★★TracyCoda Kid is amazing and fun for my kids! My tech loving son loves learning how to code and create. Best part for me was the communication with their tech team if he ran into a problem. I am always able to get help within a reasonable time for my son. They are patient and professional. I highly recommend.
