Perfect for a 10 year old gamer
My 10 year old has finished several Code Wizards modules and we've had a great experience. He really looks forward to the classes and finds them very motivating. They tailor the curriculum towards game building and it's genuinely impressive what the kids make. I don't know anything about coding but he's been able to handle everything independently, and when he's confused we're able to sign up for a homework helper session, which is a nice bonus. The whole experience has been easy and smooth and positive.

Would not recommend
Would not recommend! Their help service with assignments is a scam. I received the email saying if a kid needed help with the assignment he could join a session at certain time. My son wasted one hour trying to join nobody let him in. I emailed Natalie asking it was a scam project help, got no reply. The second issue happened this Saturday, when my son could not complete class work as the instructor’s code was tiny and illegible. My son told to the instructor but nothing was done to fix the issue. When I emailed Jenn she advised to watch the record and do class work. Sounds like an absurd. Waste your class time then go to do it by yourself.
The refund policy protects only company’s right, customer has no rights. He must pay even if the quality of class is poor.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your review. We take parent feedback very seriously and are always striving to improve student and family experience.
We are extremely sorry to hear that your student experienced any issues accessing our Homework Help sessions, which are available to students Monday through Sunday, from 4-5pm (CT). In the event that a student ever experiences trouble accessing these resources, we always encourage parents to contact us by phone, email, or through our Emergency Request Form located directly on our website for immediate service.
In regard to your student being unable to read their instructors code during their most recent lesson -- Student Specialists and our management staff reviewed the class recording from that specific lesson and were unfortunately, unable to duplicate the issue your student experienced. Based on your communication history, we are able to see that a Student Specialist attempted to collect screenshots of what your student was seeing on their end in order to best troubleshoot the situation, but those screenshots were not sent over.
In the future, please note, collecting screenshots and relevant information pertaining to an issue are normal steps in our troubleshooting processes.
Again, we thank you for your honest feedback and if your student is ever willing to give coding another try, please do not hesitate to contact us and we'd be happy to assist you!

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your experience! It has been such a pleasure having your student be a part of our coding community for the past few years, and we can't wait to see what the future has in store for your bright student.
Very easy to set up course with great content
I like that is very simple to communicate with CodeWizardHQ. They do not bury you in emails. They offer autoenrollment which makes things much more simpler for us parents to handle.
My child is very happy with their teacher, the content of the course, the time of the course, the pace and the assignments. My child is engaged and keeps working on their code after the class is finished so much they are interested in what they just learned.

We love Coding Wizard!!
I think that Coding Wizard is a very cool experience for my son, because he loves games, and he would love to make one, one day. So I signed him up for Python. And he absolutely adored the classes.
He gets a lot about coding now!

It was quite difficult to decide to select from several coding classes, but I am glad that I made a very good choice going with CodeWizardsHQ. They have pretty well-designed course packages and a reasonable class size. My child is learning new skills in each of the courses.

Conceptually great, not enough time for material=skipped info in class
I love the concept and idea of it, however execution was a bit off. It seemed to have more information in each lesson than the teacher was able to get through, so pieces were missed.
I very much enjoyed the daily tutoring option which my child found helpful & useful

Hi there,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, as we are always striving to improve student and family experience!
At CodeWizards, students join our program with various backgrounds in coding education, and some with no experience at all. This, however, can sometimes lead to a slower pacing of a lesson in order for an instructor to ensure that all of the students are up to speed on the material.
However, if a lesson is ever extended, the material will be wrapped up in the following live lesson! Additionally, we are thrilled to hear that your student finds our daily Homework Help sessions with a live instructor to be extremely useful.
Thank you again for your feedback and hope to see your student in another coding class soon!
Excellent
My eldest went to CodeWizardsHQ between 2016 and 2018 and now he’s in first year university doing computer and electrical engineering with a current 3.88 gpa. He looked like he wasn’t interested at the time. Now it’s the same with my second child who just started last November and soon my third child.
I’m not exactly a strict parent but I do tell them what I want or hope to see in their future. I think this kind of thing help. I like their way of teaching and their interface is very child friendly. Also, its founders are in the IT field. I remember seeing that Jey was an IBM executive in India, I think he was also one after moving to the States. A+++ Thank you.

I would not recommend
I had the worst experience with CodeWizardsHQ after 4 years. My sons have been with CodeWizardsHQ for quite some time. We as parents have a parent account and all the kids' certificates will be in this account. I never took a hard copy of the certificates and tried to do it today for around 9 certificates. My account was charged with 90$ and each certificate had a shipping cost of $10 dollars each. I ordered all 9 certificates at once and sending all the certificates to the same address for $90 shipping charges is not right. I tried to talk to the manager, Natalie and she mentioned “Would you like to have a $4.80 dollar refund?” I was very frustrated and disappointed by the way she emailed me. It was not very nice to be with the same program for more than 4 years and getting this kind of reply. Why do I need to pay$90 to get the hard copy of the certificates when they are to be sent all at once? She mentioned it's a third party who is taking care of it. When a student is with them for so long, they should be able to do something instead of saying “Do you need a $4.80 refund? I am so disappointed by their reply. I will not recommend CodeWizardsHQ to anyone.

Naga, we are sorry that you had difficulty with the ordering of hard copy certifications. CodeWizardsHQ provides a digital print ready file for parents free of charge upon successful completion of each course, for each student and they can print as they like. As a convenience to parents we have partnered with a third-party to print, process, and ship a hard copy at the end of each of course if a parent so wishes to do so. This is a pass through service which means what parents pay is roughly the same as what CodewizardsHq pays to provide it. In this case CodeWizardsHQ paid $85.20 for printing, processing, and shipping of the certificates that you ordered. Which is why we can only refund if/when there is an overage.
This service is an optional service offered to parents through the parent dashboard that is password and pin protected. Hard Copy Certifications must be intentionally ordered by requesting and confirming the spelling of the students name as they would like printed on the certificate as well as the acknowledgement that a $10 charge will be made once submitting the order. This is a required step for each individual order that is made. We strive to be as transparent as possible with all services that we render and offer and this is no exception.
The billing
The billing. I ordered hard copy of the certificates (9 copies at the same time) and each time $10 was detected from my account. Same place sending 9 certificates and the shipping charge is $90? What is this?
