Skip to contentCourses for West Yorkshire ## Where West Yorkshire learners begin A seven-year-old in Pudsey who loves stories, a Year 9 in Halifax curious about how AI understands words, a Year 12 in Huddersfield ready for real machine learning, and an adult in Leeds who reads customer feedback for a living. Each begins with a free lesson.

Towns are ONS built-up areas, recounted by us from census output areas. | Town | Residents | Town | Residents | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leeds | 536,280 | Keighley | 48,750 | | Bradford | 333,950 | Castleford | 45,355 | | Huddersfield | 141,675 | Batley | 44,500 | | Wakefield | 97,870 | Pudsey | 34,850 | | Halifax | 88,115 | Brighouse | 33,160 | | Dewsbury | 63,720 | Pontefract | 32,975 | Leeds borough had 811,956 residents, Bradford 546,412, Kirklees 433,216, Wakefield 353,368 and Calderdale 206,631. The ONS separates Leeds itself from towns such as Pudsey and Morley, while its Bradford area reaches into Kirklees and Leeds, and Huddersfield spans Kirklees and Calderdale. Morley and Shipley come just after the table. No town in the list crosses the county line, and our own output-area totals agree with each ONS figure to within a few dozen. Holiday dates differ from council to council and from trust to trust; we have not read them and simply ask each family. ### City pages inside the county Our [Leeds](/best-coding-class-in-leeds), [Bradford](/best-coding-class-in-bradford) and [Wakefield](/best-coding-class-in-wakefield) pages each have their own project, and [Calderdale 11+ maths](/11-plus-maths-tuition-calderdale) covers entrance-test preparation. The West Yorkshire project ## Reading the Brontës with a word list Four novels, one sentiment lexicon, and the three ways it goes wrong. The learner downloads four novels from Project Gutenberg, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and a sentiment word list called AFINN, which gives 3,382 English words a score from −5 for very negative to +5 for very positive. The program splits each book into words, adds up the scores, and reports the result per thousand words so that long and short books can be compared. It then does the same chapter by chapter. | Novel | Net score | Words the list knows | Times "miss" appears | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Agnes Grey | +24.6 | 7.7% | 183 | | The Tenant of Wildfell Hall | +16.1 | 7.7% | 82 | | Jane Eyre | +12.4 | 6.8% | 310 | | Wuthering Heights | −14.9 | 7.1% | 131 | The headline looks sensible: Wuthering Heights is the only one of the four with a negative score, and its darkest chapter scores −44.6. But three problems appear as soon as the learner looks closer. First, coverage: the list knows only about 7 per cent of the words in each book, so more than nine words in ten count for nothing. Second, negation: in phrases like "not happy" the list still scores "happy" as positive. Between 5.6 and 7.7 per cent of scored words follow a "not", "no" or "never" within three words; flipping them moves Agnes Grey only from +24.6 to +23.4, so here it matters less than you might fear. The third problem teaches the most. AFINN scores "miss" as −2, meaning to fail or to long for something. But in a Victorian novel, "Miss" is usually a title. Jane Eyre uses the word 310 times, 262 of them directly before a capitalised name, and every one drags the score down. The list reads a polite form of address as a small sadness, 310 times over. Removing it lifts Jane Eyre's darkest chapter from −48.7 to −39.4 per thousand words. A word can have several meanings, and a program that ignores context counts the wrong one. ### Ages 9 to 12 Give words from a short story a happy or sad score, add them up, and find a sentence where the total gets it wrong. ### Ages 12 to 15 Load a novel and the AFINN list in Python, score each chapter, and draw the mood of the book as a line. ### Ages 15 and up Add negation handling, detect "Miss" as a title, measure coverage, and compare the results with a modern language model. ### Whose words and whose scores The novels are the Brontës' own, from Project Gutenberg, and the word list is AFINN by Finn Arup Nielsen. The facts about Haworth come from the Brontë Parsonage Museum. The scores, the chapter results and the fixes are ours, and no single number can capture what a novel means to its readers. Why Haworth ## A Parsonage where three sisters wrote The West Yorkshire link, in the museum's own words. | Point | The museum says | | --- | --- | | Arrival | The Brontë family arrived in the West Yorkshire village of Haworth in 1820. | | The sisters | Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë wrote seven books between them. | | Famous titles | Including Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. | | Where they wrote | They wrote their novels in the Parsonage, now the Brontë Parsonage Museum. | | Address today | Church Street, Haworth BD22 8DR. | Novels are a demanding test for any program that claims to understand language, because they are full of irony, old-fashioned words and meanings that change with context. Modern AI language models handle much of this far better than a word list, but they are built on the same starting question: how do you turn words into numbers? A West Yorkshire student who has built the simple version, and caught it misreading "Miss", understands both why the newer methods were needed and what to test them for. We have no connection with the Brontë Parsonage Museum, Project Gutenberg, the author of AFINN or any West Yorkshire council. Their texts and facts are theirs; our analysis and any errors are ours. Nearby pages [Leeds](/best-coding-class-in-leeds), [Bradford](/best-coding-class-in-bradford) and [Wakefield](/best-coding-class-in-wakefield) have their own pages; [North Yorkshire](/coding-classes-in-north-yorkshire) is north, [South Yorkshire](/coding-classes-in-south-yorkshire) south and [Greater Manchester](/coding-classes-in-greater-manchester) west. The path ## From story games to language AI The free lesson shows where a learner fits. Age is only a starting guess. Ages 6 to 10 ### Stories in code Block coding with characters that speak, react and tell a story. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Ages 8 to 13 ### Words as data Typed Python that counts words, finds the most common ones and scores simple sentences. [Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)[Maths Through Coding](/courses/maths-through-coding)Ages 13 to 18 ### Language and AI Machine learning for teenagers, including natural language processing and how models read text. [AI and Machine Learning for Teens](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-teens)[Data Science for Teens](/courses/data-science-course-for-teens-python-data)Ages 18 to 67 ### Text at work Data and AI skills for adults who handle reviews, surveys or reports. [Data and AI Analytics for Non-Programmers (Excel, Sheets, Power BI)](/courses/data-and-ai-analytics-for-non-programmers-course)[Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)AI and meaning ## An AI can tell you a review is negative. Does it know when "miss" is a name? Measuring mood from words is useful, and easy to get wrong in ways nobody notices. Businesses run sentiment analysis over thousands of reviews and messages, and modern AI models are far better at it than a simple word list. They still make mistakes with irony, local expressions and words with more than one meaning, and a dashboard showing an average score hides every one of them. Our word list read 262 uses of "Miss" as a title in Jane Eyre as sadness, and the book's total moved without anyone noticing. A West Yorkshire student who has found that error knows to read the actual sentences behind a score, check which words drive it, and ask what the method cannot see. That habit is the difference between trusting an AI's summary and understanding it. Learning to code in 2026 lets a young person in West Yorkshire check what a language tool is really measuring. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Getting started ## From the Pennine valleys to the Aire, online West Yorkshire is busy, and getting across it for a weekly evening class takes real time. Online lessons give that time back. ### At your own table A terrace in Keighley, a semi in Batley, a flat in Leeds. The screen is shared; the learner writes the code while the teacher watches and guides. ### The same school words Teachers know what a Year 11 mock or an A level set text means to a pupil in Halifax or Wakefield, and they teach in English. ### Start free A proper first lesson, then plain advice on level and course, without card details. ### A class that fits Five to ten learners at one stage, whether they are in Yorkshire or far away. ### Holiday breaks Most learners take two lessons a week and pause for their school's own holidays. ### UK time throughout The slot we give you stays fixed in UK time through the clock changes; the teacher, working on India time several hours ahead, adjusts. Why groups follow level Even in a county of over two million, five learners at one stage free on the same evening seldom live near each other. Level-based groups let a learner in Brighouse or Pontefract join a class that fits. Fees ## Fees in West Yorkshire Families in Dewsbury and Shipley pay exactly the same, as do families everywhere we teach except India. First class**USD 0** A full lesson of genuine work, followed by a recommendation for level and course. Group tuition**USD 100** About eight lessons a month with five to ten learners at one level. Private tuition**USD 150** About eight lessons a month, one-to-one with a teacher. We bill in US dollars and quote no prices in pounds. Payment starts only once the free lesson has settled a course and a weekly slot. For pauses, missed lessons or a change between group and private, see the pricing page.

The five boroughs had 2,351,583 usual residents at the 2021 Census, by our sum of the ONS figures on Nomis. ### What are the largest towns in West Yorkshire? By ONS built-up area: Leeds 536,280, Bradford 333,950, Huddersfield 141,675, Wakefield 97,870 and Halifax 88,115. ### What is the Brontë project? Learners score four Brontë novels with the AFINN sentiment word list in Python, find Wuthering Heights the only negative one, and then investigate coverage, negation and the word "Miss", which the list wrongly counts as negative when it is a title. ### What is sentiment analysis? Using a program to estimate whether text is positive or negative. Simple versions add up scores from a word list; modern AI models use context, but can still misread irony and words with several meanings. ### Where did the Brontës live? The Brontë Parsonage Museum says the family arrived in Haworth, West Yorkshire, in 1820, and that the sisters wrote their novels in the Parsonage. ### Are lessons held in West Yorkshire? No. Lessons happen live on video, so a learner in Haworth is as close to the class as one in central Leeds. ### What ages do you teach? From 6 to 67. Young children begin with blocks and stories, Python often starts around eight to ten, teenagers go on to AI and data science, and adults learn data and AI skills. The free lesson sets the level. ### Can teenagers learn how AI understands language? Yes. The teen AI and machine learning course includes natural language processing, and projects like this one show where simple methods fail. ### How much are lessons? The first lesson is free. After that, a group place is USD 100 a month and one-to-one lessons are USD 150 a month, with no joining fee. ### Do you pause for West Yorkshire school holidays? We can. The five councils and academy trusts publish their dates; tell us yours and we plan breaks around them.
