UK based tutoring company, Online Coding School, provides high quality online coding instruction for both children and adults to bridge the gap between what is taught in schools and what you should know. You will learn the actual nitty gritty of coding.
Group lessons run on Tuesday evenings in term time as well as daily during a week-long holiday crash course. There are 2 levels, beginner and improver – please contact us if you want to discuss your child’s level. Groups are up to 12 students and cost £15 per lesson – a trial lesson is also available. Our learn to code group sessions will take your child through all of the basics of coding, it’s key concepts and right the way through to advanced concepts giving your child the skills and confidence to code complex solutions to a variety of scenarios. Our fully qualified, and experienced GCSE and A Level Computer Science teachers will teach your child the programming language called python, as well as web technologies such as HTML and JavaScript and will also explore the developing world of cyber security. Please contact us if you would like to enquire, or book a trial lesson below.
We also offer private tuition if you would prefer more intimate and bespoke lessons for your children. As well as teaching your child to code, our teachers are also experts in teaching in GCSE and A Level Computer Science, please let us know your exam board if you are preparing for exams. Private tuition is available in 1-1, or small groups and is charged at £50 an hour for learn to code and GCSE or £60 an hour for A Level tutoring. Please fill out the contact box and let us know what time/day/evening suit you, as well as any information about the learner you think we need to know and we will get back to you to confirm the booking.

The Online Coding School was founded by Tim Pentland, a former software developer who re-trained as a teacher specialising in A-Level Computer Science. Tim has 20 years teaching experience delivering Computer Science National Curriculum for England and Wales, both in the UK and at international schools abroad.
Tim believes that every child should learn to code. it is a crucial skill in the modern world, and he will teach students how to understand what the code is doing to use it to create online solutions, rather than relying upon generative AI to create the code.
Through his current role as Head of Computer Science at a leading secondary school, Tim knows what is currently taught in school and what is needed to be taught to flourish in the professional coding workspace. The UK has a severe lack of Computer Science teachers meaning that many schools are not able to teach Computer Science to a level that they want to, let alone need to!
Understanding is our mantra. The National Curriculum fails to provide this understanding, and Tim will teach students not only how to build the code, but also understand what they are doing!
