Why this course

Projects first, syntax second

Children learn to code fastest when there is something they want to build. Classes here start from a project the child chooses and introduce the language as the project demands it, so every new concept arrives with a reason attached.

The progression from Scratch to Python is deliberate. Scratch removes typing so the logic is visible; Python arrives once the logic is secure and the typing is the only new thing.

What we teach

From first blocks to the school syllabus

Four tracks, matched to your child's age, interests and curriculum. Programmes are tailored to the child, and tracks combine whenever that serves the goal.

01Block-based and creative codingAges 7–10Coding taught visually, so the logic sits in front of the child before typing does. Games, stories and animations built in Scratch and CODE.org, with Roblox game design and design thinking for young builders.ScratchCODE.orgRoblox game designDesign thinking
02Core programming and webAges 10–17Typed languages, taught from beginner to advanced through projects: Python and Java for programs that do real work, HTML and CSS for pages the child designs, and the logic that sits behind apps and games.PythonJavaHTML and CSSApp and game logic
03Academic computer scienceGrades 6–12Support for the computer science your child is graded on: syllabus-aligned Python and Java, object-oriented programming, algorithms, flowcharts and pseudocode, and digital literacy, taught against the school's own curriculum and exam board.Syllabus-aligned PythonJava and OOPAlgorithms and pseudocodeDigital literacy
04Design and visual toolsAges 10–17Design as a companion skill: image editing in Photoshop, design fundamentals in beginner-friendly tools like Canva before the Adobe suite, and a first look at UI and UX by designing simple app screens and sites.PhotoshopGraphic designCanvaUI and UX
The benefits

Why learn to code early

Programming builds thinking habits a child carries far beyond the screen.

Analytical thinking

Working out how a program should behave, step by step, builds a habit of logical reasoning that carries into mathematics and science.

Problem solving

Every project is a set of problems broken into smaller ones. Children learn to decompose, solve and reassemble, the skill schools call computational thinking.

Creativity

Code is a making tool. Children program, test and reprogram their own ideas, and watching an idea become a working thing is what keeps them building.

Future readiness

Computing now sits inside nearly every field. A child who codes early meets school computer science, and everything after it, from the front foot.

What your child gains

Course structure

How the levels run

Ages 7–10

Scratch

  • Files and simple data
Ages 14–17

Advanced

  • Object-oriented Python
  • AP Computer Science topics
Focus areas

Where the classes concentrate

Three focus areas that give students the most value from their coding classes.

A solid foundation

Computer and IT fundamentals come first, so everything built later stands on ground the child genuinely understands.

Concepts over syntax

Loops, conditions and data are taught as ideas that hold in any language, which is why the move from Scratch to Python feels natural.

Personal attention

One-to-one classes with content tailored to the child's interests, because a project a child cares about is the best teaching aid there is.

How it works

How a coding course runs

A free trial class first, then blocks of classes that each end with a finished project.

01

Free trial class

A free class where the tutor sees what your child already enjoys building, and then discusses your goals and a schedule with you.

02

Project brief

Each block of classes targets a finished thing: a game, an animation, a website, a small tool. The child chooses between briefs.

03

Build and understand

Your child does the typing and works through their own code on screen with the tutor, so every line is understood rather than copied.

04

Show and explain

The child demonstrates the finished project and explains how it works, which is where the understanding really shows.

Every programme is taught one to one by a specialist, on the principles set out in our coaching methodology, under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system. Parents' own accounts are on our reviews page.

What you need at home.A laptop or desktop with a keyboard. Scratch runs in the browser; Python is installed together during the first class.

What parents of coding and programming students say

“Our two children have been studying with Augment Edutech for years now. Our oldest started with the Rubik's cube, which he can now solve within a minute or so. Then he went on with a crazy 12-sided "cube". It takes a bit longer, but you'll be surprised how quick a young child can solve this one too (about 10 minutes I believe). After that he followed WordPress classes, coding classes and most important Abacus classes, which he almost finished (level 4). The next step, no doubt, will be Vedic math. It's fantastic to learn these skills and how they supplement actual school math (it's better actually). Also our youngest is following the same Abacus classes now. They just love it! The Augment Education team is super helpful, friendly, patient and dedicated. It's such a pleasure to see how children from various countries come together online to learn a skill not offered in school. The teachers have a super high energy level and just want nothing more than success for your child. After more than 3 years with Augment Edutech, we have no doubt they will be part of our children's education for many years to come. UPDATE NOV 2025: Our journey continues. Over the past years their helpful teachers have prepped our oldest for the first 2 IGCSE (extended) exams, with 2 more to go for 2026. Together with his individual studies, it will allow him to finish the IGCSE 3 years ahead of his peers. What a partner is Augment Edutech.”

“I enrolled my daughter with Augment Edutech Guitar classes 3 years back. They aligned with a coach who was awesome, but the coach left in a few months. However, Augment team shifted us to another coach and I must put on record, he was just amazing. He first understood what my daughter has learnt, and then customized his approach to suit the kid. He prepared my daughter for Trinity and she was able to bag upto Grade 2 in less than a year. The Augment team is so professional and disciplined that they don't give any chance to complain. I am overall satisfied with them and have enrolled my younger son with Python classes as well with them, and are going well. My brother, who is in Canada, has enrolled his two kids with Maths classes and he is satisfied with his kids performance as well. All the best Augment Team and keep up the good work.”

“Hi, my Name :Tia I just want to share my experience about my abacus and coding classes! Abacus helped me become faster at math and improved my concentration. Coding taught me how to create games and apps. Both classes made learning fun and showed me that numbers and logic can be exciting! The teacher's are very professional and friendly”

Parents ask

Before you enrol

What age can a child start coding?
Seven for Scratch, provided reading is fluent. Python usually suits eleven and above, though a confident younger child who has outgrown Scratch can move earlier.
Is a tablet enough?
A laptop or desktop with a keyboard serves the course best, and children progress fastest with one. The first Scratch classes run happily in the browser on most devices.
Does this prepare for school computing exams?
Yes. The academic track follows your child's own syllabus and exam board, and the advanced Python track covers the object-oriented programming, data structures and algorithms that AP Computer Science A assumes. Tell the advisor what the target is.
Will my child actually write the code?
Yes. The class is one to one and the child does the typing. The tutor reads the screen and asks why each line is there, so understanding is checked continuously.
How do you keep a child engaged?
By building the course around what the child wants to make. Briefs are chosen with the child, and when interests shift, the next project shifts with them.
Free trial
