FAQ
Want to Know More?
Feel free to contact us to get any details or book a free lesson for your child!
What is the right age to join the courses?
Children as young as 8 years old can start learning computer programming
Do I need to stay during the trial?
Yes, it's great if parents can stay and see what their children are learning. This will also allow us to give you a tour of center and explain our memberships
What is the class size and configuration ?
The class will have maximum of 12 kids. Children work at their own pace on their courses.
How long is the commitment
We see learning coding, just like learning any other language. It can't be mastered in a week or two. Many of our programs are designed to run the length of a school year. Our minimum commitment is 3 months. That gives your child enough time to get comfortable with the system and begin to see some progress.
Can shy kids participate comfortable?
Definitely, many of our students would be a bit more quiet. When they are together they find students who enjoy the same things they do. This inspires confidence and builds friendships.
Empowering Students Worldwide
Since 2017, Skill Samurai has been working to empower students' lives through education. Skill Samurai has sponsored a number of international projects: teaching sewing and business skills to women in Bangladesh, orphanage construction in India, and educating children in Nairobi.
