What Parents Say
Our Students in Action
What Parents Often Ask Us
Q: What if my child has never coded before?
A: No worries! Our beginner courses (especially Scratch) are designed for absolute newcomers. We guide them step-by-step with visual tools, engaging projects, and dedicated support. No prior knowledge is needed!
Q: My child is already coding. Will they still learn something new?
A: We offer progression-based courses with different difficulty levels, for different age groups. If your child is already comfortable with Scratch, they can join Scratch Academy program for very advanced learning, or move to Python or AI & Machine Learning. We ensure every child is challenged at the right level and pace.
Q: Are these live classes or pre-recorded videos?
A: All our lessons are live and interactive, taught in small groups (up to 12 students) to maximize personalized approach. That means your child can ask questions, share their ideas, and get real-time help from the educator, just like in a classroom.
Q: What exactly will my child learn about online safety?
A: Every course includes different, age-appropriate digital safety lessons, some of which include:
-
How to spot fake messages or scams
-
What info is safe (and not safe) to share
-
How to behave kindly and responsibly online
-
How AI and algorithms affect what they see on YouTube, TikTok, etc.
-
Understanding digital footprints, privacy, and ethical tech use
-
How to spot potentially endangering communication from online strangers on gaming platforms
-
And more.
Q: How big are your class sizes?
A: We intentionally keep classes small (5-12 children per group) so every child receives personalized attention and builds a connection with the educator and peers. We don't allow students to join after the course starts, to ensure the group is guided through the lessons in a structured and organized way. Pace of teaching as well as the complexity of projects is always customized to the current's group learning progress.
Q: Will my child get homework?
A: Scratch courses are designed to be engaging during class time, and homework is completely optional. We may suggest fun bonus tasks or challenges to try at home, but the course is complete on its own. Python courses encourage completing both theoretical and practical (coding) homeworks, for students who really want to become pro in coding in pure Python.
Q: Can a shy or quiet child still enjoy and benefit from the class?
A: Absolutely! Many shy kids actually thrive in our setting because the small group size feels safe, and they get gentle encouragement without pressure. We make sure every voice is important and heard.
Q: What if my child misses a class?
A: We understand that things come up. You will receive accompanying materials after lessons, and we’ll do our best to help your child catch up in the next session.
Q: Do you provide any certificates?
A: Yes! At the end of each course, students receive a personalized certificate celebrating their achievements - a great confidence boost and something to be proud of.
Q: How do your courses support lifelong learning?
A: We provide materials during the courses to help your child remember and maintain newly learned topics. We don’t just teach how to click buttons - we teach them how to think. Problem-solving, logic, creativity, and responsible tech use are at the core of our courses. These are skills your child will carry with them long after the course ends.
Q: Will my child be glued to the screen even more?
A: Our lessons last for 1 hour for a reason - as we don't want our students to spend more time on the screen. During each lesson, their screen time is not a passive one, but active and purposeful. Your child will be creating, problem-solving, and learning valuable skills, not just consuming content.
Q: Do I need to provide a computer for my child for the course?
A: No, every students receives a laptop to individually work on during the course. If your child prefers coding on their own laptop, they are welcome to bring it. In that case, they are fully responsible for the equipment they bring to the class.
My name is Snezana, and I am honored for the opportunity to guide your child through coding, AI and online safety education!
As a parent myself, I know exactly how overwhelming it can feel to raise children in a world where technology is moving faster than we can keep up. I don’t just teach AI - I’ve worked with it for over 8 years in real-world business settings, including building AI-powered fraud detection systems used for most powerful tech companies today.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Computer Science with emphasis on Machine Learning, and for the past 3+ years, I’ve been doing what matters most to me: teaching kids and teens how to code, how AI works, and how to use technology responsibly and safely.

What makes this different is that I see both sides - I understand the complex systems behind the tech, and I also understand the worries parents have about screen time, safety, and giving your child the right foundation for the future. My goal isn’t to just teach kids how to “use tools” or to "just code". It’s to help them understand what’s behind the tools they use and things they see in the tech world, so they grow up confident in themselves, and empowered with knowledge and understanding.
Lastly, I feel I have been both privileged and honored to enjoy parents trust in their child's educational journey, and to receive so many amazing feedbacks. This is why I do what I do - because kids deserve to use technology in a safe way that empowers and serves their growth, and parents deserve a guide they can trust.
If you decide to join one of the courses, I will do my best to meet yours and your child's expectations.
Welcome!
