There's a growing body of research that demonstrates the integration of Coding and Maths can boost student learning outcomes.

The MathCode Method is based on the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach.

A recent study found that the improvement of spatial sense ability (SSA) of students who received learning with the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach was significantly better compared to students who received conventional learning. (Putri, H. E., Rahayu, P., Muqodas, I., & Wahyudy, M. A. (2020).

The teachers involved in the project identified that the use of unplugged activities and coding language facilitated mathematical thinking in students. ScratchMaths has been shown to be an effective resource for developing coding and computational thinking in primary-aged children in the UK. (Calder, Nigel. (2022). Mathematics and Coding: How Did Coding Facilitate Thinking?)

The results showed that children with coding play experience had higher levels of computational thinking, self-regulation, and attention concentration. A positive correlation was found between computational thinking and attention concentration in children with coding play experience. The study concluded that coding play experience is an important factor in enhancing computational thinking in early childhood. (Kim, Mi-Jung & Pu, Sung-Sook. (2022).

We've designed our classes to be family-friendly and our goal is to be the most flexible provider in the industry.

The make-up class can be in the same week or following week. 

Yes, siblings receive 10% off weekly memberships. Speak with your local provider to learn more!

No. At Skill Samurai, your child will never fall behind. Our programs allow each child to work on their own courses/projects and focus areas at their own pace, ensuring a personalized and efficient learning experience. 

Even if you miss a week or more, your child can easily pick up right where they left off. It's an educational approach that truly puts the child's needs first!

Coding can be a great tool for kids with short attention spans, as it allows them to engage in a hands-on and interactive learning experience.

Coding projects are often broken down into smaller, manageable steps, which can help to keep kids focused and on task. Additionally, the immediate feedback provided by the computer can help to maintain their interest and motivation.

Through coding, kids can also develop their problem-solving and critical thinking skills, which can translate to improved attention and focus in other areas of their lives. Coding provides a sense of accomplishment as they see their ideas come to life through the projects they create, encouraging them to stay engaged and continue learning.

Combining Maths tuition with coding can help children fall back in love with Maths!

We understand, family schedules can be hectic.

We've designed a world-class curriculum that is project based and self-paced.

What does that mean? It means that your child can attend any scheduled class, any day.

If you need to cancel at short notice, no problem, our booking system allows you to easily cancel, book and rebook. We've designed it especially for busy families. 

We understand needs and priorities change, and you may need to cancel classes. We do request that you give us a 30-day notice of intent to cancel. You may do that by sending us an email with the date that you would like to stop.

However, we are not able to refund you for any classes that you have missed in the months before.

Our Camp cancellation policy is as follows:

30 days prior to the start of camp refund minus a $10 processing fee

14 days prior to the start of camp 75% refund.

7 days prior to the start of camp 50% refund.

Less than 7 days prior to the start of camp, no refund. 

Our refund policy is strong because many of our summer programs sell out, and the closer that we get to the start of camp, the harder it is to find a replacement.

In many cases, our owners have paid for staff, equipment, and software, and those funds are not refundable. Monthly memberships require 30 days cancellation.

Learning to code can help kids with screen addiction in a number of ways.

First, coding provides a purposeful and productive use of screen time, as kids are using technology to create and build something meaningful, rather than just passively consuming content. This can help to shift their relationship with screens from one of passive consumption to active creation. 

Coding requires critical thinking, problem-solving, and other cognitive skills that can help to develop the brain in ways that may reduce the attraction to screens. By learning to code, kids can also gain a deeper understanding of how technology works, which can foster a more mindful and intentional use of screens.

Overall, coding provides a constructive and educational way to engage with technology, which can help to reduce screen addiction and promote healthy screen habits.

Face to face learning is a valuable experience for kids, offering numerous benefits that cannot be replicated through online or remote learning. At Skill Samurai, our classes are all conducted face to face in small group settings, which allows for personalized attention, interaction with peers, and real-time feedback from instructors.

Research shows that face to face learning produces the best results, as it provides a more engaging and immersive experience that helps children to stay focused, retain information, and develop important life skills. By working together with their peers, kids also have the opportunity to develop teamwork, leadership, and communication skills, which are essential for success in school and in life. Additionally, face to face learning can foster confidence and resilience, as children are able to see their progress and receive recognition for their efforts in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Overall, face to face learning is an essential component of a well-rounded education and provides numerous benefits that help kids to thrive and reach their full potential.
