I also like how flexible it is, as you get to pick what you learn and customize it, so it never feels forced. The instructors are nice and easy to talk to, which makes asking questions way less intimidating. Overall, it's been a solid experience and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a flexible place to learn coding. Above is written by my teenage child taking coding at the Coder School.

I registered my both kids to summer camp here. Their friends recommended to do the camp together…read morethough we usually go to other coding school. At first, my kids were really excited and came home talked about what they learned and created. It seemed like they had fun. Then problem started as my child told me that her file was deleted couple times and she couldn't find it. I told her to ask the instructor since they supposedly are good at computer. She told me that she couldn't log on because she forgot her password. Apparently this issue has been going on during the week long summer camp. I was not aware until Thursday evening from my child. Then I asked her what was she doing if she couldn't log on and no one could help her. She said she just sat there and listened. 1) we don't learn by sitting, we learn from doing and following step by step (so she wasted her learning time and my money) 2) no instructor aware that she was sitting there and not doing anything? Didn't raise their attention? 3) she claimed she forgot her password and instructor couldn't help her. Coder instructor should be able to trace back her password or reset password for her, correct??? 4) I emailed my concerns and I got back the response from manager that my child was joking with instructor. Yes, if she wasn't engaged and couldn't log on, I know my child would be bored and fooling around. Any child would. All the kids were laughing and having fun in class. I don't see any problem with my child enjoying the class and laughing. 5) couple kids said they had WiFi issues during class. Why would it be WiFi issues when this is a coding school. 6) when I emailed to the manager, his response was trying to point finger at my child that she was joking with the instructor instead of solving the issue and take responsibility about his instructors in class. No customer service. For sure, I won't recommend anyone to this place. Very disorganized and no customer service.

My children attended a summer camp at the coder school. This what I experienced:…read more Pros: the kids had fun there. When we entered or whenever we picked up or dropped off, you can see that children were having fun. You could see children laughing and smiling. They did complete some coding activities. Cons: 1. Limited staff- No one answered the phone. There was no front help person to answer phones during camp. I was running late, and called the office no one picked up the phone. When I picked up the children, the teacher gave his personal phone number to contact them. He said there is no one to answer phones during camp. Considering the amount of money as parents we pay for this activity and they should have someone in the front office answering the phone or have the teachers in the camp pick up the phone while the camp is in session. I know they are trying to cut cost, but the business phone should work during camp hours. 2. Each child are placed on their individual computers. If they have problems with the computer, instead of putting them on another one, they waited to repair it. So one of my children missed time during the day completing a project until they could the computer to work. We were not told about this until my children told us. We inquired about it and did not get a response why they were not put on another computer or that my child's project would be delayed. 3. Passwords- I have a younger child who forgot her password on the computer. The teacher didn't have the password that day, so she couldn't use the computer to complete her project. The following day, we contacted the manager to find out why the teacher didn't have it so our child could complete her work. The manager gave us the password. Then stated that our children were smiling and laughing in class. Prior to that comment, the teachers were giving my children compliments on how well behaved they were. That's an odd response from the manager-- deflect and blame tactic being used. My wife asked again why and we didn't get a response. We never found out from the manager nor the teacher why they didn't have the password prior day so my child could finish the project. Today, after our complaint, staff did have myu child's password. And again they avoided the question why they didn't have the password the day before. Overall, my children had fun. Other kids had fun. They looked like they learned something. However, the management and teachers could not answer simple questions and for the money we pay, there should not be downtime if computer is down or someone can't remember their password. However management avoided the question and was ready to deflect questions by blaming my children. We've gone to Code Ninja in the past and had a better experience there. They have better communication, kids have fun too, learn, and are more organized. If they have technical difficulties they move the child to another computer.

My son 7yrs old, Avneesh really enjoys going to Studygascar class @ Sunnyvale-Saratoga center and…read moreit's been over an year already. Wow, times flies by, indeed! Coach Mikhail being an International Chess Master @ US Chess Federation level, is a wonderful , professional and highly experienced coach who not only delivers the precise chess nomenclature in each class but has also developed a very prune and wise system within the institute of evaluating each new kid based on their previous chess skill levels, knowledge and appropriately placing them in the right learning program starting from beginners, lower intermediate , intermediates and so on..... My son look forward to weekly class of 90 minutes a session wherein he gets to turn in at first the homework (he really now got hooked on to 16 chess problems on a weekly basis), followed by an actual class time and then timed tournament games in the end of his same skill set team members. Each student needs to master their current chess level and they get promoted to next higher grade upon meeting the chess levels for the grade they are in and not off their age or seniority. This concept is Ultra Cool and helps other level kids to also play and sync up together based off their chess skill set, growth and development. I must also talk about center another partner, Natallia who coordinate and runs the center administration very efficiently. She keeps an eye on each of the student(s) as the class gets over and handing over the kids to each of their parents and simultaneously the next session class students in parallel enter the classroom. She manages the enrollment, tuition fees, email and phone call of Studygascar Chess class and I am very impressed with her high class of productivity and effectiveness in chess operations and logistics. My kido-Avneesh has really enjoyed Studygascar class experience thus far and always looks forward to completing his weekly chess class homework and learning new skills every week from International Master, Coach Mikhail. I could see his chess skill set getting improved on a monthly basis as he practices it on a regular interval. Look no where else, but Studygascar is the way to go! I strongly recommends Studygascar for all your kid's chess learning needs!

My son attends chess classes at Studygascar about one year already. He went through most of class…read moregrades over there (beginners, lower intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate) and enjoyed each grade. When my son began to study chess at 6 years old, he had another chess coach, but after half year chess study, my son told us, even he likes to play chess, but he doesn't want to study chess anymore for two reasons, One is chess study is boring to him and we (parents) cannot always follow his coach's guide to practice with him. My wife and I both don't know chess, sometimes, it is even hard for us to understand what his chess coach really asked us to do. So we stopped his chess study. Few month later, occasionally, some one told us, there is a chess school (studygascar) near by, they teach chess but doesn't need parents involve technically. We let our son tried 2 lessons (have to pay) over there. He immediately loved those lessons and since then, he never leave studygascar. Studygascar evaluates kids with their chess level and divide them into different grade/class. In general, the kid has to earn next grade by their chess level not by the time they study in the class. By this method, similar level kids can always play together and speed up their chess skill development. After about 11 months study in studygascar, my son chess skill has big improvement and also got good chess score from USCF (US Chess Federation) by his age. Studygascar operated by a nice couple, the husband, Mikhail Baturyn is the only chess coach, He is a Chess International Master. ( http://www.uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlMain.php?14437365 ). All chess classes in studygascar are 1.5 hour, not 45, 50, 60 minutes like other chess after school. They have homework from each class and students must hand in their homework paper before class start. Studygascar chess class only focus on help kids to improve their chess skill, they don't organize tournaments like other chess school. Sometimes, they don't even encourage you to goto USCF tournament before your kids reach certain level. If kids want to check their own chess level, parents have to arrange USCF tournaments by themselves. My advise to parents who are looking for right chess coach for their kids are, If your kid instinctively love to play chess and willing to spend time on it, studygascar maybe a right choice for you. if your kids only want to know how to play chess or not play chess well, maybe it is not a good choice for them. Because, most of students in this school really love chess and their internal competition in each level are high (compare with other school), if your kid is not really good at chess, sometimes, they will feel frustration. If some parents want to show off tournament result from their kids, maybe this is also not a right school for you to choose. Because this school never spend time to teach parents how to prepare those shows.

You've got to check this place out if you have kids who are into making stuff like lego and robot…read more Even if not, you should still check it out. Me and my 6yr old son went there on a grand opening and saw full of awesomeness what parents would love to have their kids introduce to the world of coding! They had things I've been wanting to try out such as educational drone class, basic coding in different age levels, lego tech, and etc. So my son is currently taking an Ozobot class (children level introduction to what's call 'STEM' with fun robot coding) and he absolutely got sucked into it. Each class is for 60min, but he told me he loved the time. I feel the enthusiasm when he tells me about things he had to do in the class. he said it was easy and loved the fact that he made a cute little robot move in different ways. I found out all of the founding members are seasoned professionals in engineering and when I talk to them they were super friendly and kind. Right now they have awesome deals for their classes. We got our free 2hours ticket at our first visit! Definitely recommend this place to my firends and anyone who are interested in introducing their kids to world of STEM.
