Practice Based Learning
CodeMode is a platform to help middle school and high school youngsters in learning programming. We teach Python, Java, and Scratch and help students excel in school’s curriculum (AP Computer Sc in the US). We also train teachers who are going to teach computers science and programming to their school students.
Why don’t We Learn?
While many online platforms teach or claim to teach programming, students still don’t learn
Online, Video-based Learning is Boring
Right from social media to lengthy videos make learning harder. Students are constantly distracted and never finish more than 30% of the course.
Missing Real-Time Help
Students are stuck when following a video. They do online searches and run into frustrations. They think, coding is hard.
Lack of Practice
Learning to write code sticks only when you do enough practice. Online videos dont make you practice enough and only focus on syntax.
Limited to Syntax or gaming
Either you are taught to create games or focus too much into syntax of the language. You wont be able to apply and solve real world problems.
How are we different?
We keep problem solving skills at the core. We teach right tools and techniques. Practice is at the heart of our model
Practice. Practice. Practice.
We treat programming like Math when it comes to learning
Practice, practice and practice – That’s our mantra because that’s how concepts stick in the little brain. Each lesson is followed by worksheets, and students can only move to the next lesson after satisfactorily completing these worksheets. This ensures that students are comfortable and ready for the next concept.
Focus on Problem-Solving Skills
Once you learn one, learning another language is super easy.
Before we dive into syntax and grammar of programming languages, we solve the problem using logic and algorithm. We teach students to visualize solutions using a flowchart, trace table and bubble diagrams before writing a single line of code. This not only helps build good analytical and problem-solving skills but also makes programming easy to learn.
Real Time Help
Get help when you are coding and make real progress.
You will be guided by our hand-picked mentors trained to provide you with real-time help when stuck. Students feel frustrated in programming and eventually, give up when they can’t go past an error in code or can’t solve problems. Getting help is only a click away, and you will be chatting and sharing screens with mentors.
Apply What You are Learning
At the end of the course, you intern on real-time projects to apply your learning.
In order to retain knowledge and build experience, we provide you opportunity to work on real-time projects. You get an opportunity to mentor junior learners, contribute to our content development and test real world system as part of Software Development Lifecycle.
How does the Learning Model Work?
Each course is designed to follow the same philosophy with focus on fundamentals, tools and process.

What We Offer
We offer an innovative, practice based learning model, a data driven platform and superior support system to ensure you start, finish and learn well.
Online Lessons
Join our online classroom for an hour, learn the subject matter/lesson. The session covers small concepts built on top of previous concepts/lessons. If you miss a lesson or want to revise, you are welcome to join again. We have built our own Zoom for educational purposes. You are not required to take notes because we send you notes at the end of the classroom.
Practice Worksheets
We teach coding the same way you learn Math. Practice is key. The concepts will stick to student’s mind only after due practice. Each lesson comes with several practice sheets. Our mentors evaluate your practice sheet. After satisfactory results, you qualify for the next lesson.
Timely Help & Support
Budding programmers face several issues right from syntax errors to run time errors. They find it hard, and they eventually lose interest. Our mentors are available in the evening (daily) and weekends to help students move forward by resolving any issues.
Complete Platform
We teach coding and provide a complete ecosystem, right from a strong student community to an online platform (Learning Management System), lesson plan, and our own Zoom. This ensures that you simply focus on learning and practice, nothing else.
Progress Tracking
We use our home-grown online Learning Management System to track a Student’s progress. We proudly use analytics to pinpoint areas of improvement as well as areas of strength. Students and parents can check progress online anytime, anywhere.
Community of Peer Learners
While learning, you are not alone! At every step, you get the support you need to excel. You will be part of a healthy, thriving community of peers who are learning and supporting their fellow learners. Have a question? Post and get an answer immediately from someone – not to mention, such answers are also being reviewed and moderated by mentors on the platform.
Learn at your own pace
We firmly believe that everyone has his/her own style and learn at their own pace. Rather than being part of one group that moves, you are treated individually. You can start a lesson, finish and join the next lesson when ready (assuming you finished all practice worksheets satisfactorily). Each unit (a group of lessons) ends with an assessment test in which you are required to pass.
Small Classrooms
Our typical classroom size is between 5-6 students. By keeping classroom size small, we are keeping students engaged, personalized and result-driven. You will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, clear your doubts and know each other.
Internship and Mentorship
Our graduates will have an opportunity to mentor other kids. We offer an internship opportunity for bright students who help other students learn. You can be a teaching assistant, mentor or content writer. Such opportunities not only keep you in practice but also build leadership skills.
