Who It Is For
A reassuring starting point and room to progress
Students do not need to arrive with experience. The starting point changes with the learner.
Curious Primary Students
Creative projects that build logic, confidence and early technical understanding.
Secondary Students
Structured support with Python, algorithms, debugging and project design.
Advanced or Gifted Students
Greater depth, faster progression and technically ambitious challenges.
Students Needing More Challenge
Focused mentoring beyond generic activities or large mixed-level groups.
International and Bilingual Families
Technical learning in English with bilingual support where helpful.
Independent Project Builders
Guidance for students developing their own games, applications, data work or technical ideas.
Why Online Mentoring Works
Focused support at the right pace
Fully Personalised Attention
The mentor adapts explanations, pace, difficulty and project choice throughout the session.
Focused Learning Time
There is no commuting and less waiting for a large group to catch up.
Learn at the Right Pace
Students can slow down when a concept needs more explanation or move ahead when ready.
Better Learning Habits
Students practise planning, persistence, debugging, explaining their thinking and working independently.
Compare the Experience
Personalised mentoring versus a typical group coding class
Both formats can be useful. CodingSTEAM’s online mentoring is designed for families who want the pace, project and feedback adapted to one learner.
| What changes | CodingSTEAM mentoring | Typical group class |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | Adjusted during the session | Usually follows the group timetable |
| Attention | Focused on one learner or a deliberately matched small group | Shared across a larger mixed group |
| Projects | Selected around ability, confidence and interests | Often one activity for the whole class |
| Questions | Time to stop, explain and try another approach | May need to wait while the class progresses |
| Feedback | Individual strengths, pathway and next steps | Usually broader class-level feedback |
Group classes vary by provider. This comparison explains the difference in learning format, not a guarantee about every group programme.

What Students Can Learn
A flexible Software pathway
Topics are selected to match the student rather than delivered as one fixed curriculum.
Coding Foundations
Logic, sequences, variables, conditions and problem decomposition.
Python
From first programs to structured applications and more advanced problem-solving.
Game Development
Interactive projects that connect creativity with code, testing and iteration.
Web or App Development
Planning and building useful interfaces, websites and applications.
AI Concepts
Age-appropriate exploration of how AI systems work and how to use them thoughtfully.
Data and Automation
Working with data and using code to make repeated tasks more efficient.
Individual Technical Projects
Mentor support for a student’s own idea, from planning to a working result.
Levels and Progression
Challenge based on readiness, not age alone
Primary / Foundations
Logic, confidence, creative Coding and first Python concepts where appropriate.
Secondary
Python, debugging, algorithms, AI concepts and project design.
Advanced
Independent projects, more complex Computer Science, data, applications and portfolio development.
Placement depends on ability, confidence and experience rather than only age.
Online Private Lesson Pricing
Personalised formats with clear session prices
1:1 is the flagship and default option. Private pairs and groups are available for students who already want to learn together.

€6060 minutes
The flagship format for fully personalised pace, feedback and project choice.
Private pair
€40 per studentPrivate pair · 60 minutes€80 total
For two siblings, friends or other students who already want to learn together.
Private group of 3
€35 per studentPrivate group of 3 · 60 minutes€105 total
For three siblings, friends or other students who already want to learn together.
Session length is recommended according to age, level, attention span and project complexity. A 45-minute session often suits younger students, while 60 minutes gives older or more advanced students more time for larger Coding and project work; this is guidance, not a rigid age rule. Pairs and groups of three use 60-minute sessions.
Shared sessions are for siblings, friends or other students who come to CodingSTEAM together; CodingSTEAM does not automatically find students to complete a group. See the Pricing page for in-person options and full details.
Parent Trust and Student Experience
Projects that build confidence and ambition
“Our weekly online labs with Madi helped Lucas design a Raspberry Pi weather station in Python—and he proudly presented it at his Paris science fair.”
“In twice-weekly online sessions, Nico guided me through building an interactive story app in Python with Pygame—complete with sound effects and animations. The hands-on studio day is my favorite countdown!”
“Thanks to Amaya’s weekly masterclasses, I built a Django-powered portfolio site in three months—and demoed it in person at my school’s tech fair.”
Online FAQs
Questions families often ask
No. Online mentoring supports complete beginners as well as students who already have Coding experience.
Python can be introduced when it suits the student’s readiness. The mentor chooses an appropriate starting point based on ability, confidence and experience.
Yes. Advanced students can work on more complex Computer Science, data, applications and independent projects.
The mentor adapts explanations, pace, difficulty and project choice throughout the session.
The free trial is 45 minutes. For ongoing 1:1 teaching, 45 or 60 minutes is recommended according to the student’s age, level, attention span and project complexity rather than a rigid age rule. Private pairs and groups of three use 60-minute sessions.
A computer, a reliable internet connection and access to the recommended software are normally required. The exact tools depend on the student’s pathway and project.
Yes. Private pairs and groups of three are available for siblings, friends or other students with compatible goals who already want to learn together. CodingSTEAM does not automatically find students to complete a group.
After the trial, the family receives feedback on the student’s current level and strengths, a pathway recommendation and suggested next steps.
You can cancel or reschedule an ongoing session up to 24 hours beforehand without penalty. Changes with less than 24 hours’ notice may be charged. See the parent booking and policies FAQs for related practical details.
A parent or guardian should complete the booking and confirm the current consent requirements with CodingSTEAM before the first session.
