We're always looking to improve, and your insight helps us do just that. We’re eager to get things back on track and ensure future courses start and end smooth.
Great concise curriculum and teaching
I can't think of a better use of an hour a day classtime for a highschool freshman than leaning JAVA coding. The curriculum is great. Covers the essential topics. Programs are solid as homework to learn the materials. Teacher is available for tutorial if needed. Daily quizzes test for the grasp of material. Well done!

Hi there,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback!
We're thrilled to hear that you see such value in our Java course and appreciate the structure of the curriculum. It's wonderful to know that the daily lessons, quizzes, and homework are supporting a strong understanding of the material, and that our instructors are providing helpful support when needed.
We’re honored to be part of your student’s learning journey and truly appreciate your kind words!
My kids loves this!!!

Thank you so much for your message! We're thrilled to hear that your kids are loving the program — that absolutely makes our day! If there's ever anything we can do to support their learning even more, just let us know.
Overpriced courses is what concerns me.
Don’t get me wrong—CodeWizards offers a solid platform for learning how to code, and their structured classes can be helpful for some students. However, the pricing is where things fall apart.
Let’s talk specifically about their classes for elementary school students. Charging $500 per course for Scratch block coding is, frankly, excessive. Block-based coding like Scratch is designed to be intuitive and beginner-friendly—it’s something many kids can pick up for free using countless online resources, tutorials, and platforms.
While structured learning and teacher support are valuable, the steep price tag just doesn’t reflect the simplicity of the material being taught. For $500, you’d expect more advanced content, personalized support, or long-term access to resources—not just a few sessions of drag-and-drop programming.

Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback — we truly value your perspective.
While we understand that the cost of our Elementary program may seem high at first glance, we’d love to highlight a few important features that set CodeWizardsHQ apart from free or self-paced alternatives. Unlike many platforms, our courses are taught in live, instructor-led online classrooms, where students interact in real time with expert teachers and peers. This live interaction creates a highly engaging and structured learning environment — something that’s often missing in free coding resources.
Our Elementary curriculum is designed as a thoughtful introduction to computer science, beginning with block-based coding like Scratch to build foundational logic and problem-solving skills. From there, students progress to text-based coding languages such as Python, advancing through a comprehensive, multi-year curriculum that’s carefully scaffolded for their success.
Additionally, students have access to multiple layers of support, including Homework Help, where they can connect with a live instructor outside of class, and our Student Community Forum, which allows them to collaborate, ask questions, and stay engaged.
We’re constantly working to deliver value that reflects our pricing — not just in content, but in quality of instruction, depth of learning, and long-term skill development. We appreciate your insights and hope this helps provide some clarity about what makes our program unique!

Small class setting keeping my kid stay motivated!!
My son explored many free/ other paid courses but none of those never piqued his interest. He is liking the small class setting and enjoys being in Ms. Zahria Thomas’s class so much that he wants to continue with the next courses.

Smooth operation! My son is learning at a good pace, and the flexibility in catching up after missing a class due to conflicts is very helpful.

My son has loved learning to code
My son has loved learning to code. The elementary school level has introduced him to website design, python, and more. The instructors are encouraging and knowledgeable. The classes are small, and he gets lots of individual attention. He is proud to show us what he has coded each week and also spends time coding outside of his assigned homework.

I do not recommend code wizard HQ
I do not recommend code wizard HQ! We signed my son up for a intro coding class. Then Instructor refused to answer any questions during class. He was told to wait after class but when it was time to end that Instructor rushed off the video call and stated he would need to wait till the next class to ask. This happened for 4-5 classes. to properly learn coding the material builds on each other so once my son fell behind it became very difficult for him to catch up. He was very stressed and sad that he was not getting the help. I reached out to Code Wizard HQ to express my concern and their response is will give you a discount for the next class. Pretty much not taking responsibility or doing anything different. There are many coding schools out there. I would recommend looking for another one!

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your son had a frustrating experience and that our program did not meet your expectations. Please know that we take all concerns seriously and we sincerely regret that your student felt unsupported during his course.
We do want to clarify a few important points regarding your concerns. Our records show that no outreach or feedback was received during the first 11 lessons of the course. Unfortunately, when concerns are shared only after the final lesson, our ability to address issues in real time or provide additional support during the course is extremely limited. Had we been notified earlier, we would have been happy to intervene and work with you to find a timely resolution.
In addition to available customer support, your student also had access to multiple student support services, such as access to class materials, the Student Forum, and Homework Help, where he could have received assistance debugging projects from a live instructor.
Regarding the instructor, our lead instructor carefully reviewed the class recordings and did not find any instances of student questions being ignored. In fact, the instructor was observed encouraging student participation and managing the classroom with attentiveness and professionalism. We are genuinely sorry that your son experienced the class differently, and we understand how disheartening that must have been.
Additionally, in response to your refund request submitted after the course had already ended, we politely reminded you of our posted refund policy. As an alternative, and in a genuine effort to be accommodating, we offered a course credit toward a future class, should your child be interested in experiencing another course with different instructor.
We truly appreciate the time your family spent with CodeWizardsHQ, and while we're disappointed to hear your son didn’t have a more positive experience, we wish him the very best in his future learning.
Playing unfair!
It used to be good but currently they decided that you have to pay for the whole block in advance which is over 400 usd. You can pay in instalments but not if you are not usa resident . What a joke, seriously, my son spent several years completing the course one by one but now if he not pay in advance he is not allowed to. Absolute not fair for loyal customers. Joke

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate your loyalty and the time your son has spent progressing through our program. We understand that the recent changes to our payment structure have been frustrating, especially for our international customers who are unable to access installment payment options through Affirm.
Please know that we take your concerns seriously, and our team has been actively working to find a resolve. Please be on the lookout for our email correspondence containing more information on another option that we feel would be a viable solution for your family.
We sincerely value you as part of our community and appreciate your patience as we continue to improve the experience for all of our students.
A real world skill builder
This program has given my son the skills he needs to begin developing his own programs. After only his 2nd full course, he was able to build a basic page on a subject of interest to him.

Dear Code Disappointed with Customer Support at Code Wizard HQWizard HQ Team,
Dear Code Wizard HQ Team,
I have been a loyal customer of Code Wizard HQ for several years, and my daughter, Olivia, has thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from your programming courses. She recently completed the Capstone 1 course and, given her budding interest in Java from her school curriculum, we were eager to enroll her in the "Introduction to Java" course offered by your esteemed institution.
However, we were disheartened by the lack of support and flexibility in accommodating her progression to this next level. Despite her keen interest and the foundational skills she has built through your programs, the response we received felt dismissive, almost as if her potential to succeed in this course was underestimated.
This experience has been quite disappointing for us. Olivia's enthusiasm for learning programming was significantly nurtured by your courses, and it's disheartening to see this roadblock at a crucial point in her educational journey. It seems the focus may have shifted from fostering student growth to other priorities.
We had expected more supportive guidance and customer care from an organization of your reputation, especially given our long-standing relationship. I hope this feedback will prompt a reconsideration of how student transitions are handled in the future.
Sincerely,
Robert Tabinowski

We understand your disappointment regarding our course progression policy, and we sincerely apologize if our response felt dismissive in any way. Our policy requiring students to complete each course with a grade of 80% or higher before advancing is in place to ensure they have the necessary foundation for success in more advanced coursework. Our goal is always to support students in their learning journey while maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of our curriculum.
We deeply value Olivia’s enthusiasm for coding, and we would love to continue supporting her growth in programming. If there’s anything we can do to assist her in successfully meeting the requirements to progress, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
