CodeWizardsHQ

CodeWizardsHQ is a live, mentor-led online coding academy for kids ages 8–18, offering weekly small-group classes in real programming languages like Python, Java, HTML/CSS, and game-mod development. Founded by a father who wanted true instruction—not videos—his program uses projects and pop-culture tie-ins (think Star Wars mini-games) to teach coding in a fun, collaborative environment. Parents love the structured rhythm and instructor support: students work with peers, receive real-time feedback, and build polished projects. What sets CodeWizardsHQ apart is its live classroom model—complete with a capstone portfolio and even teen internships—making it a full-fledged coding curriculum, not just bite-sized tutorials.

CodeWizardsHQ delivers live online coding classes via Zoom in small cohorts of up to seven students, led by professional instructors who guide learners through project-based, sequential curriculum. Students begin with fundamental languages like Scratch and progress to Python, JavaScript, web development, and even AI and machine learning. Each course includes twelve weekly lessons, homework help, recorded sessions, and a capstone project, with clear parent progress updates and opportunities for internships after completion. Families integrate it into their homeschool schedule by choosing tracks by age or interest level, attending regular sessions, and supporting occasional project time outside of class.

Our mission

The mission of CodeWizardsHQ is to bridge the gap between self-study tutorials and classroom teaching by offering live, small-group coding classes that teach real-world programming skills. The program aims to prepare 8-to-18-year-olds for success in a tech-driven world by building confidence, creativity, and coding fluency through interactive instruction, ongoing mentorship, and portfolio-worthy projects.

Our story

CodeWizardsHQ was founded in 2014 by Jey Iyempandi, a dad who discovered how frustrating self-paced coding tutorials could be for kids after personally teaching his daughter. With a background in engineering and marketing, and while working at Dell, he spent hundreds of hours developing a structured, live, teacher-led online coding experience. What began as a small summer class for three students quickly grew into a leading coding academy serving thousands of students, with a 93% success rate, over 1,200 five-star Trustpilot reviews, and its popular nationwide Logic Challenge competition.

FAQ: Additional Details about CodeWizardsHQ

Families log in for a scheduled live class, code alongside the instructor (30–60 minutes), receive feedback, then students work on their weekly project at home and may join an online office‑hour or peer forum later in the week.

CodeWizardsHQ is ideal for homeschooled kids aged 8 to 18 who are curious about coding, enjoy hands-on, project-driven learning, and do well in small-group environments. It suits students who thrive on real-time interaction with instructors, appreciate structured yet creative challenges, and want to build tangible coding portfolios for future academic or career paths.

CodeWizardsHQ is not a good fit for families seeking a self-paced, completely flexible learning option or those wanting minimal parent involvement in live sessions. It’s also less ideal for students who prefer independent online tutorials, those beyond 18, or anyone not ready for regular class attendance and homework.

Families of children with ADHD, autism, and learning differences often appreciate CodeWizardsHQ’s live instructor support, small class sizes, flexible pacing, and structured yet engaging lessons, which help learners stay focused and build confidence in a supportive digital environment.

Designed for older, motivation-driven learners, including gifted students—live mentorship, real-world projects, and competition options like the Logic Challenge help 2e and deeply gifted coders shine.

None—students start with beginner levels but placement tests are available to skip material if they already know it.

CodeWizardsHQ offers a risk-free enrollment with a four-session money-back guarantee, and class scholarships are available; full refund policies depend on timing.

Many homeschooling families recommend treating CodeWizardsHQ as a regular class—logging in weekly, reviewing recorded lessons if you miss one, and completing the capstone projects with parental encouragement. They also suggest using the weekly homework help sessions and forums to stay on track and build momentum, and taking part in the Logic Challenge competition to boost skills and motivation.
