Free Python Class for Kids: One Hour, One Mentor, Real Code

The free Python class for kids is a real lesson, 1-on-1 on Zoom, with your child at the keyboard:

1. Setup and a chat (about 10 minutes). We open Python — installed on the computer or in a browser editor — and ask what your child enjoys and whether they've coded before.
2. First lines of code (about 15 minutes). Printing messages, asking the user for input and storing answers in variables.
3. A small program (about 25 minutes). Often a number-guessing game: the computer picks a random number, and your child writes the loop and the conditions that give "too high" and "too low" hints. Younger children may draw shapes and patterns with turtle graphics instead.
4. Reading an error (about 5 minutes). We break something on purpose and fix it together, so error messages stop being scary.
5. Wrap-up with you (about 5 minutes). What your child did, and what we suggest next.

By the end, your child has a working program they wrote themselves and can run again at home.

Python reads almost like English, so children spend their energy on ideas — variables, loops, conditions, functions — rather than on punctuation. It's also a language many schools use once computing moves from blocks to typed code: GCSE Computer Science in many UK schools, CBSE Computer Science in Classes 11–12 in India, and plenty of high-school courses elsewhere.

Python is a good first language for children who:

• read and type comfortably, usually from about age 10;
• like puzzles, maths or "how does it work?" questions;
• want skills they can use outside games — automation, data, websites, AI.

For a younger child, or one who mainly wants to make games, the free Roblox class may be the better start. Luau in Roblox Studio is real code too, and children often move on to Python later. Not sure? Book either; the mentor will tell you honestly which suits your child.

After the lesson you get a short, honest recommendation:

• Where your child is now — typing, reading code, logical thinking, and how they handle mistakes.
• Where to start — for example text games and quizzes, turtle graphics or, for experienced students, functions, lists and files.
• A sensible pace — one 60-minute lesson a week is a typical start.
• Other options worth considering — web development for a child who wants to build sites, or Roblox for a keen gamer.

There's no obligation and no card on file. If you continue, we send a PayPal invoice for four lessons; if not, your child keeps the program they wrote. If your child already knows some Python, tell us before the lesson — the mentor will skip the basics and set a harder problem to see where they really are.

Python is lighter than Roblox Studio, so the Python trial class for kids works on most computers:

• Windows or Mac: we can install Python and a simple editor together at the start of the lesson, or you can do it beforehand.
• Chromebook: we use a browser-based Python editor, so nothing needs installing.
• iPad or phone: not recommended — typing code on a touchscreen is slow and frustrating.

You'll also need Zoom with screen sharing, headphones with a microphone, and a quiet place with a stable connection. For Python, a physical keyboard matters more than a mouse.

No previous experience is needed. If your child has used Scratch at school, they already understand loops and conditions — Python simply asks them to type those ideas instead of dragging blocks.

Regular Python lessons run exactly like the free one: live, 1-on-1, 60 minutes, with the same mentor each week. Children move from small programs to bigger projects — games, quizzes, drawing programs, small tools — adding functions, lists, dictionaries and files along the way.

• Price: CA$280 for four lessons (CA$70 each), paid by PayPal invoice in Canadian dollars; your bank converts from your currency.
• Guarantee: unused lessons are refundable within 14 days.
• Time: we match a regular slot in your time zone.
• Language: English, Ukrainian or Russian.

Excklusive-IT has taught children to code since 2020, online and in person in Hamilton, Ontario. Lessons are open to families in Canada, the US, the UK, India, the UAE and beyond.
