How Does Genie Academy Scratch Tutoring Work?
We begin with an assessment of your child's current coding skills. This helps us understand their strong points and what they need to learn.
Then, we create a personalized lesson plan. This plan focuses on the areas they need the most help.
Then, we start teaching coding in an easy way. We use different methods to make sure your child understands and enjoys learning.
At the end of the program, we have a test to see how much your child has learned. This shows us what else they might need to work on.
This tutoring process is continuous; after the progress test, we reassess your child's skills, update the lesson plan accordingly, and continue teaching.

Common Questions About Coding Tutoring
Coding classes are available at each of our New Jersey tutoring centers, including East Brunswick, Hillsborough, Marlboro, Plainsboro, South Plainfield, and South Brunswick.
Classes run once a week and vary in length, depending on your child’s age. Toddler classes for children ages 3 ½ to 5 are for one hour. Junior and senior classes for students older than 5 are two hours. Class sizes are deliberately kept small so that teachers can give each child the maximum attention needed. No more than five children are in the toddler classes. No more than eight students are in the junior and senior classes.
Each child learns at a different speed. We encourage you to keep your child in the program for at least three months until they become proficient in visualization.
Genie Academy complements schoolwork because children develop a better understanding of math on the abacus than is possible with the traditional math curriculum in schools. Faced with stimulating challenges, children find that schoolwork becomes easier. Genie Academy also teaches how to solve word problems, which are traditionally the bane of every student’s existence.
