Live online · Dubai and the wider UAE
Live coding classes for children, teenagers and adults across Dubai. One teacher on a video call, five to eight students, one hour of real programming each class, scheduled for Gulf Standard Time evenings and weekends.
No pre-recorded lectures, no webinars with two hundred silent attendees. Whether a student logs in from Mirdif, Jumeirah or Business Bay, they get a teacher who knows their name, sees their code, and notices the exact moment they get stuck.

01 · Courses
Each card opens the full syllabus, schedule and fees. Every course runs as a weekly live cohort with the same teacher from the first class to the final project.
A child's first typed language. Turtle drawings, small games of chance, and the ideas behind AI explained in words a nine-year-old can pass on at dinner.
View syllabus
Kids build with AI helpers, then test what came back. The quiet lesson underneath is judgement: does this program do what I asked for?
View syllabus
A guided tour of the AI tools children are already curious about, with an adult in the room and honest rules about what these tools get wrong.
View syllabus
Proper Python from an empty file: variables, functions, lists, dictionaries, files and APIs. The same language CBSE uses for Classes 11 and 12 computer science.
View syllabus
Teens collect data, train real classifiers, and test them until they break. Working out why a model fails teaches more than watching it succeed.
View syllabus
Building software with AI pair programmers, and learning to catch the confident mistakes they make. The catching is the skill.
View syllabus
A serious course on AI coding agents: writing a clear brief, reading what comes back, and owning the final result.
View syllabus
For adults starting from zero or patching old gaps. Core language through object-oriented design, ending with programs solid enough to show someone.
View syllabus
Regression to neural networks, with the mathematics kept honest and the practice done on real datasets rather than tidy classroom ones.
View syllabus
Turn the repetitive half of a job into scripts: spreadsheets, reports, files and email, written by you and useful from the first month.
View syllabus
How large language models behave in practice: prompting with intent, APIs, retrieval, and small applications that run end to end.
View syllabus
Agent-assisted development for people who ship code: direct the agent, review its work, stay responsible for what goes out.

02 · The format
The format has six moving parts, and this is all of them.
A
Every class is a live video call. Students ask out loud, share their screen, and get unstuck while the problem is still in front of them. Questions do not wait in an inbox.
B
The size is deliberate. The teacher hears from every student in every class, and nobody coasts unnoticed for a month. One-on-one classes run the same syllabus at the student's own pace.
C
Weekday slots run roughly 4:00 to 9:00 PM Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4), after the school run and the office day. Saturday and Sunday slots cover the UAE weekend. Your slot is fixed and weekly, so it becomes routine.
D
Classes are in English, matching how most Dubai schools teach. Many of our students speak Hindi, Arabic, Urdu, Malayalam or Tagalog at home, and our teachers are used to it.
E
Courses end in working software: a game, an automation script, a trained model. Students leave with programs they built and can run again, not a stack of finished worksheets.
F
Your first class is free and completely ordinary, with the same teacher and format as every paid class. Watch it, ask anything you like, then decide.
03 · Local context
Dubai treats technology as infrastructure rather than novelty. The UAE appointed the world's first Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence in 2017, Dubai Internet City has anchored the region's technology companies since 2000, and the city moved its own government services online earlier than almost anywhere else. Children who grow up here will sit exams, apply to universities and enter workplaces where programming is assumed to be a normal literacy, much as spreadsheets were for their parents.
School supplies the ideas. What school usually cannot supply is practice: unhurried hours spent writing programs, breaking them and repairing them, with someone experienced watching. A classroom period shared among twenty five students has little room for that. A weekly live class of five to eight has plenty, and that practice, more than any single topic on a syllabus, is what we sell.
Dubai's private schools, regulated by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, teach a wider mix of curricula than almost any city in the world. British schools form the largest group, with Indian, American and IB schools close behind. We do not partner with any school, and the coursework does not follow any one board. It runs beside school, and our students come from all of these systems.
Most Dubai families came from somewhere else, and many will eventually move again: to Abu Dhabi, Singapore, London, or back home. An online class is one of the few parts of a child's routine that moves intact. The course, the teacher and the progress records stay as they are; we shift the weekly slot to the new timezone and carry on. Nothing restarts, and nothing is lost in the move.
The adult case is plainer. Python, data handling and AI tooling now appear in job descriptions across the industries Dubai runs on: banking and fintech around DIFC, aviation, logistics, real estate, tourism, and government service delivery. A course will not transform a career by itself, and we will not pretend otherwise. What an evening class gives a working adult is competence that can be demonstrated: scripts that run, models you trained yourself, projects you can open in an interview and explain line by line.
Our college and professional tracks assume a full working day. Classes sit in the evening, the workload is steady rather than heroic, and the teacher treats you as an adult who wants the real thing explained properly.
04 · The curriculum
Behind the twelve course cards is a single line of progression. A student can join it at any point, and the free demo is where the teacher works out exactly where. Here is the line, stage by stage, stated plainly.
Logic before syntax Ages 6 to 9
Young children learn sequences, loops and conditions by building things they care about, and typed code arrives early in small doses. The success measure at this age is simple: the child voluntarily shows you what they made.
A real language Ages 9 to 14
Python from a blank file. Variables, types, functions, lists and dictionaries, with turtle graphics keeping the early programs visible. Somewhere in this stage a student stops treating error messages as bad news and starts reading them as instructions.
Data, then models Ages 13 to 18
Files, APIs and real datasets first, then machine learning taught truthfully: what training actually does, what a model cannot know, and why it fails the way it does. The finishing project is a model the teenager trained and can defend in conversation.
Professional practice College and career
Automation, data work, generative AI APIs and coding agents such as Codex and Claude Code, taught for people with degrees in progress or jobs in hand.
We do not promise placements, because no honest school does. Students leave with working projects and the ability to explain them, which is what interviews test anyway.

06 · Plain reasons
The person on the call is a trained instructor who teaches for a living. Students keep the same teacher through a course wherever possible, because familiarity is what lets teaching compound.
Small batches are the product, not an upgrade. Attention is the thing you are paying for, and it does not divide well by forty.
Every course ends with software the student built: something to run, show and improve. Finished work teaches more than covered chapters.
Completion certificates are tied to finished projects, useful in school portfolios and university applications, and honest about what they certify.
Parents hear regularly what was covered and how the student is doing, in sentences rather than scores. No waiting for a term report.
You watch a full, ordinary class before spending anything. If it does not convince you, it has cost you an hour and nothing else.

The demo is not a trailer. It is a full one-hour class with a real teacher, and by the end of it the student will have written code that runs. Book it, watch it, and decide with evidence.
