A little code. Something yours.

pen.done()
Change a shape. See what happens.

A preview of how we learn: change it, try it, understand it.

A coding teacher. A plan. Room to ask.

For homeschool families who want more structure without losing the freedom to learn at their own pace.

You don’t need to be the CS teacher.
I handle the coding explanations. At the trial, we’ll agree on a starting point, a learning goal and how you’d like to review your child’s progress.
A plan beyond the next tutorial.
Start with small programs, then build a quiz, a game or a useful tool. Each project gives the next lesson a purpose, instead of sending your child back to random YouTube videos.
A pace your family can keep.
Tell me your time zone and homeschool schedule. We’ll agree on available lesson times and manageable practice between sessions, then revisit anything that needs more time.
Someone to notice when they get stuck.
We’ll look at what your child tried, talk through the mistakes and choose a clear next step. Progress means being able to explain and change their own code.

About your tutor

I’m Zain, the tutor behind Microcohort. Learn one to one at your own pace. I teach every session myself. If an explanation doesn’t click, we’ll try another way. There’s time to ask questions and work through the parts you find difficult.

  • Ask without feeling rushed.
  • Practise with someone beside you.
  • Work with the same tutor each time.

Before you book

A few things you might want to know before your first lesson.

Ask Zain a question

It can be. We can connect familiar Scratch ideas such as loops, variables and decisions to typed Python, starting with short programs before building a quiz or game. Scratch experience is helpful, but not required.

Yes. The starting point depends on the student’s experience, confidence with typing and goals, rather than grade alone. We use the free trial to choose a suitable pace and first project.

No. Zain teaches the programming. We can agree on learning goals and how you want to review projects and progress, so you can stay involved without having to teach Python yourself.

We can build a structured learning plan from Python basics through projects, or work on a specific gap. Agree on the scope, practice expectations and schedule at the trial. These are live tutoring lessons, not an accredited school course or a promise of academic credit.

Lessons are online. Send your time zone and a few suitable times so Zain can check availability. Lesson pacing can be adjusted to your child and your family’s schedule.

Yes. Every lesson is live and one to one with Zain. A free trial is available. Choose hourly lessons or a package of 4, 8, 12 or 16 one-hour lessons. We agree on availability and the schedule before you book.

One-to-one tutoring is $15 USD per hour with a free trial lesson. Packages of 4, 8, 12 and 16 one-hour lessons cost $60, $120, $180 and $240 USD. One-to-one CS book preparation is $499 USD as a one-time fee, including quizzes, exercises, mock exams, and revision.

Tell me what you need help with and bring a question or some code. We’ll work through it together so you can see whether the lessons suit you before deciding to continue.

Yes. Send me the student’s exam board, the topics they need help with and your availability. We can discuss the right starting point together.

Yes. Every lesson is live online with me, one to one. We can share a screen, write code and work through questions together.

No. We can start with the basics. If you’ve already been learning, tell me what you’ve tried and where you’re stuck.

We’ll discuss your book, exam date, lesson schedule and the scope of preparation before you commit. The package includes quizzes, exercises, mock exams and revision.

Let’s find your child’s starting point.

Tell me what your child has tried, what they want to learn and your time zone. I’ll check availability for a free trial.
