Coding Classes for kids in Auckland

Most people don't know, but coding helps kids improve across almost all subject areas (The research proves it). We also know that some kids struggle with maths/English Tutors, so coding classes can be a great way to bridge the gap and help students improve exam grades and build a love of learning. 

Yes, absolutely. We've designed our classes to be family-friendly! Our goal is to be the most flexible in the industry. The make-up class can be in the same week or following week. 

No. Your child will never fall behind at Skill Samurai. Each child works on their own projects, at their own pace. We use a project-based learning methodology. 
If you miss a week, or more, they'll pick up right where they left off. It's the way education ought to be!

Definitely! Like many subjects, school introduces students to the basic concepts. If your child has shown an interest in coding (computer programming), our classes will build on that knowledge and take students to advanced levels, which schools can not provide. Our curriculum builds into long-term career skills and certifications. 

No Problem, there are no contracts or pre paid terms. Students attend class on a pay-as-you go basis. If at any time your child loses interest, simply let us know and we'll stop your payments. Just try to give us 7 days notice so that we can process things. 
We're parents too, which is why we believe in keeping things simple and flexible! 

We get it, family schedules can be hectic. We've designed a world-class curriculum that is project based and self-paced. What does that mean? It means that your child can attend any scheduled class, any day. If you need to cancel at short notice, no problem, our booking system allows you to easily cancel, book and rebook. We've designed it especially for busy families.  

Our classes are one hour in duration, the perfect length to hold a students attention and achieve learning outcomes. Each class is divided into bite sized lessons and focused on a project that is aligned with their interests (i.e. Minecraft, websites Roblox, apps, etc)... Perfect for kids with short attention spans! 

Coding is a perfect supplement for kids who are already working with tutors. 
Most people don't know, but coding helps kids improve across almost all subject areas (The research proves it). 
Coding can also be a good alternative to tutoring. If your child needs a break from tutoring, but they still need help, coding is the perfect solution. This is surprisingly common, when a child is struggling with say maths or English, the last thing they want, is to attend attend classes/tutoring. 

Learning to code can be one of the best ways to change their focus and reduce their addiction. Instead of passively consuming videos and games, students learn how their favourite websites and games are created. 
Students then crave knowledge and learning, they find themselves wanting to create their own technology rather than being controlled by it! 

Put simply, coding is a great way to bring like-minded kids together. Some of our curriculum and holiday camps are team oriented, so it's a great way to build social skills. You never know, they might meet (or become) the next Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. 

You don't need to know how to play Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.14 in order to teach your child the piano... That's our job... Not teaching piano, but teaching kids to code. 
Seriously though, you don't need to be tech savvy, our coaches will guide your child so that they thrive... Not just as programmers, but as tech creators, innovators and students. 

Our classes are all conducted face to face in small group settings. The research shows that face to face learning produces the best results and leads to other important outcomes like teamwork, leadership, confidence and resilience. 

Each Student has a personalised learning path.

Up to 40% of students are disengaged at school. Some, because they are advanced, and not being challenged enough. At the other end of the spectrum, some children are struggling to keep up… this often leads to self-esteem issues and diminished career opportunities. At Skill Samurai, we believe that there’s a better way!

Our classes are self-paced, typically project based learning. This means that each student will work on their own project at their own pace.

Each student can experience success at their own pace without being compared to others. If they are advanced, then we tailor their projects to ensure that they are suitably challenged… On the other hand, we know that some students require additional support and nurturing. Our classes allow for all students to thrive no matter their skill or ability.

Small Class Sizes Maximum of 1:10 Student teacher ratios, many classes only have 2-5 students. This allows plenty of time in class for one on one coaching and guidance.

Many parents are worried that their child might be falling behind at school. It’s proven that coding helps kids improve exam grades and academic performance. We also help kids build confidence and resilience, Problem solving skills, computational thinking, creative thinking… plus they’ll be learning skills to help them in future careers (no matter what career they chose).
