What Parents Say About Kodecoon
“At the beginning of the course, I was hesitant about how the trainer would manage my kids aged 8 and 6. Their trainer was able to manage their emotions in a professional manner and convinced them to behave well during lessons. He was able to use the appropriate terms to teach the basis of coding concepts that were easily understood by the class. My kids continued with him through the Scratch program. Now they are doing App development. I am proud to say that my kids have learnt sufficient concepts that will help them in their logic thinking and problem solving skills. Thank you Kodecoon!”
“My son has been doing classes with them for the last 2 years and I am amazed at how much he has learned. The classes are super fun and interactive and the teachers are simply amazing. My younger son is eager to start too and I can’t wait for him to begin.Thank you and please keep up the good work of creating a new generation of Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg. Super recommend these classes to all parents.”

My kids started with Kodecoon earlier this year and they enjoyed the lessons conducted virtually. Teachers and admin staff were all very professional and nice. Virtual lessons saved us the hassle to trouble and the kids are able to create some fun games on their own. Highly recommended.
Parent of Darius & Emma★★★★★
This is very good training academy. I asked my son to join just to have a taste of programming… thinking he can switch to other lesson non programming in the future. But have been years that i havnt been able to switch him out from programming ^^ he loves the teacher (shout out to Kishore!) and he likes the friends.
Parent of Xavier★★★★★
Loved the holiday sessions conducted for my 12yo! Full week of coding camp but time well spent! ^^ My son had fun, was engaged and made great friends even though everything was fully virtual (which was great because it saves me time from commuting!)

My son joined the holiday program in Sept and December and he enjoyed it so much. It was fun to have like minded friends to do this together. The teachers were so patient. My son asked for extended lesson as he was not able to catch up and without any hesitation, they went the extra mile to help him and make sure that he completes his assignment. Thumbs up for the Teachers!

I love Kodecoon Academy classes because they do their best to help nurture their student to fulfil their potential in learning how to code. The teachers make the lessons so positive and funny yet understandable.
Kodecoon Academy has given me opportunities to sharpen my presentation skills and also to converse with real programmers in working in certain fields. I love Kodecoon classes because it has clearly organised lesson plans that allowed me to understand and absorb the most out of each lesson. Teachers in Kodecoon are very understanding, by being able to tweak lessons and ensure everyone regardless of age is able to learn at the same pace. Their extensive knowledge in not only programming, but experiences in the real-life fields has that they share during lessons is really helpful as I get to know more than just the lesson for that day.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
Why does my kid need to learn programming?
Here at Kodecoon Academy, we aim to equip every child with programming knowledge and the power to create change. In today’s increasingly digital world, programming is the new literacy.
Digital literacy is not equivalent to how proficient they are at playing mobile or computer games. Rather, it is the ability to understand how computers work and to write codes that can instruct computers to perform certain actions.
We want every child we teach to be future-ready – become creators and change-makers and not mere passive consumers of technology.
Like what Steve Jobs said. “Everyone should know hoe to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think”. To be able to solve complex problems, your child needs to have computational thinking skills, which consists of 4 components namely Decomposition, Abstraction, Pattern Recognition and Algorithmic Thinking. For all the parents reading this, ask yourself the question, “Is my child ready to take on the digital age?”
My child is new to programming, will he/she be able to follow?
Yes, of course! Most of our students join Kodecoon as complete beginners. And we see awesome projects that they coded on their own by the end of the lessons!
Are the classes online or in-person?
Our classes are conducted live over Zoom to ensure a real-time, two-way interaction between our students and our instructor. Only for certain modules, we have in-person classes. Do check with our Customer Happiness team to find out more!
What is your class schedule?
It depends on your availability! As we open new classes every week, we can find a suitable slot for you and your child after the assessment results from the trial class!
