At Discover Learning, we believe that coding should be an engaging and enjoyable experience for students of all ages. Our coding classes have grown exponentially, starting from a humble group session on Saturday mornings and expanding to include additional classes on Sundays and weekdays. But what sets our coding classes apart? Let’s explore the elements that make learning to code so much fun at Discover Learning.
1. Outstanding Instructors
We take pride in employing exceptional Computer Science teachers with Computing Degrees from renowned universities in the UK. Many of our instructors have years of valuable experience, with some even serving as Heads of Department in their previous roles. When asked about their passion for Computer Science, one of our coding teachers shared, “Computer Science has always been my passion.” This level of enthusiasm and expertise is what drives our instructors to create an engaging and motivating learning environment for our students.
2. Problem-Solving Playground
One of the key highlights of our coding classes is the problem-solving atmosphere that students are immersed in. Our instructors encourage students to approach coding challenges with a mindset of breaking down problems into smaller, manageable parts and exploring different solutions for each component. This ability to decompose problems and think critically is a valuable life skill that can be applied across various subjects and real-life situations. At Discover Learning, we foster confident and independent learners who not only love what they’re learning but also how they’re being taught.
3. Cutting-Edge Teaching Techniques
Our coding classes are designed to be fun and engaging, leveraging the latest programming software, our instructors’ vast knowledge, and their wealth of experience. Students learn the fundamental skills and knowledge of computational thinking and problem-solving through hands-on projects, such as creating their own games using software with a graphical user interface (GUI) and complex behavior code. We currently utilize Flow Lab, a powerful game-making tool that allows students to unleash their creativity while applying complex algorithms to their games.
4. Collaborative and Supportive Environment
At Discover Learning, we understand that coding can be a challenging endeavor, especially for beginners. That’s why we foster a collaborative and supportive environment where students can learn from each other, ask questions, and receive guidance from our experienced instructors. Our small class sizes ensure that each student receives personalized attention and can progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind.
5. Continuous Skill Development
Our coding classes cater to students of all ages and skill levels. For younger students, we introduce them to the fundamentals of coding in a fun and engaging way, laying the foundation for future learning. As students progress, our classes become more advanced, supporting them in GCSE and A-Level Computer Science, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of the curriculum. We aim to equip our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their academic pursuits and future careers.
