Why we keep it that way, what it means for your child, and why demo slots are scarce. [Home](/)[Priority Live Demo](/priority-demo)Small batches. Private classes. Limited on purpose.How we run classes # Small batches. Private classes. *Limited on purpose.* A mentor can only watch a few students think at once. So we keep classes small, and we accept that this makes our time scarce. [Book priority demo · ₹499](/book-demo)[What is the priority demo?](/priority-demo) One-time fee. No enrolment required. Confirmed on WhatsApp within the hour. **In short** Modern Age Coders teaches in small live batches and personal 1-on-1 classes, never in large webinars. Small groups let the mentor see each student's reasoning and correct it in the moment. The cost of that choice is that mentor time is limited, which is why free demos wait in a queue and guaranteed demo slots carry a small fee. ## Why small Teaching someone to think means watching them think. The mentor has to see the half-finished plan, the wrong turn and the moment of confusion, and respond right then. In a crowd that is impossible. The quiet students vanish and the quick ones coast. In a small batch every student speaks, shares a screen and gets corrected individually, while still learning from classmates. That is the setting our whole method depends on, from [teaching how to think](/we-teach-you-how-to-think) to [training like a software engineer](/think-like-a-software-engineer). ## When 1-on-1 is the better choice - The student is well ahead of or behind their age group. - There is a fixed goal and a deadline, such as an exam or a competition. - The family needs unusual timings or lives in a distant time zone. - The student is shy and needs to build confidence first. Group and 1-on-1 fees are listed openly on the [pricing page](/pricing) and explained further at [coding classes fees](/coding-classes-fees). ## What this has to do with demos Everything. Because our mentors are in these classes most of the day, there is little spare time for free demos. We will not shorten a student's class to make room for one. So free demos wait for a gap, and a guaranteed slot is paid. The full explanation is in [why we charge for a priority demo](/why-we-charge-for-a-priority-demo), and the two options are compared in [free demo vs priority demo](/free-demo-vs-priority-demo). ## Find a course Both formats are available across the catalogue: [coding for kids](/levels/coding-for-kids), [coding for teens](/levels/coding-for-teens), [coding for college students](/levels/coding-for-college-students) and [maths](/courses/maths). Popular picks include [Python and AI for kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass), [full stack web development for teens](/courses/full-stack-web-development-teens-masterclass) and [data structures and algorithms](/courses/data-structures-algorithms-masterclass-college). To see a class for yourself, book the [Priority Live Demo](/priority-demo). ## What Modern Age Coders teaches - **We teach you how to think**Before any code is typed, the student learns to read a problem, break it apart and plan an answer. - **We teach you to solve problems**Every class is built around a problem worth solving, not a list of commands to memorise. - **We teach you to build software**Students plan, write, test and fix real programs, the way working engineers do. - **We teach maths as a way of reasoning**Number sense, proof and patterns, so maths stops being a set of tricks. ## The whole guide [Start here**The Priority Live Demo**What it is, who it is for and how it works.](/priority-demo)[The reason**Why we charge for a priority demo**Where mentor time goes, and why honesty beat a fake free offer.](/why-we-charge-for-a-priority-demo)[Compare**Free demo vs priority demo**Side by side: wait time, certainty and what you get.](/free-demo-vs-priority-demo)[Inside the class**What happens in a demo class**From hello to a working project, step by step.](/what-happens-in-a-demo-class)[How to**How to book a priority demo**Pick a slot, pay once, get confirmed on WhatsApp.](/how-to-book-a-priority-demo)[Our method**We teach you how to think**Why thinking comes before syntax in every class.](/we-teach-you-how-to-think)[Our method**Think like a software engineer**Real tools, real bugs, real software from early on.](/think-like-a-software-engineer)[Our method**Why coding and maths together**One habit of mind, taught from two directions.](/why-coding-and-maths-together)[How we run classes**Small batches and 1-on-1 classes**Why mentor time is limited, by design.](/small-batches-and-1-on-1-classes)[Trust**Why trust Modern Age Coders**What we promise, what we refuse to do, and how to check us.](/why-trust-modern-age-coders) ## Questions parents ask Are classes live or recorded? Live, with a mentor, in small batches or 1-on-1. Recordings are there for revision, not as a replacement. Can my child move between a batch and 1-on-1? Yes. Talk to your mentor and we will arrange the format that suits the student best. Do you run large webinar-style classes? No. We do not believe thinking can be taught to a crowd. Why are free demo slots so hard to get? Mentors are teaching enrolled students most of the day, and we do not take time from those classes for demos. ## See a real class, this week. Pick your slot, meet a mentor, and watch how we teach. Trusting Modern Age Coders with your child's learning is a big decision. A live class is the honest way to make it.
