Meet your teacher

Tim Smith

Hi, I'm Tim!

Software developer, Coding Teacher, Home-ed papa

I spent years writing and delivering a software coding bootcamp, which was super fun! I've been doing youth work in large and small groups for over 20 years, at varying ages, and I have extensive experience working in schools with children with additional needs.

These days I write software full time and my wife and I home educate our 3 beautiful boys. These classes exist because I wanted home educators to have a coding option that isn't just a bunch of pre-recorded videos. It's live interactive lessons, in groups, and a teacher you and your child can get to know week after week.

What parents and learners are saying

“Had a brilliant lesson with Tim. Very welcoming, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Thank you!”

Alex

“Tim explained everything in a clear and easy-to-follow way, making even tricky concepts simple to understand. I feel much more confident now!”

Ray

“Lovely day, good introduction to coding. Teacher Tim friendly and willing.”

Questions parents ask us

Do I need to know how to code to help my child?
Not at all. Lessons are live and fully guided by Tim — your child doesn't need a coding expert at home, just someone who knows how to open a web browser and a bit of encouragement
What age is this for?
Any age if what you want is to learn to code, but its written with children aged 7–13 in mind.
Is my child safe during lessons?
Tim has a DBS check and years of experience working with children, including those with additional needs. Lessons are small groups, and parents are welcome to sit in any time.
What happens if we miss a week?
No problem — lesson notes stay available afterwards so your child can catch up in their own time.
What if it's not the right fit?
If your child isn't enjoying it after the first lesson, let us know within 7 days for a full refund.
