Language tutors, coding classes and book summaries

Three very different ways to learn sit in this group. Preply is a marketplace of one-to-one language tutors you choose yourself. Kodland runs live online coding courses for children and teenagers in small groups. Headway turns non-fiction books into summaries you can read or listen to in a short sitting.

With Preply, the first lesson is the real test. Each tutor profile lists native language, spoken languages and teaching experience, so book a trial with one or two people and compare. If a tutor does not fit, Preply says you can try another one for free.

Kodland suits parents who want structure. Courses are built by age band, from block-based Minecraft programming for the youngest to Python for older teens, and each runs for a fixed number of lessons once a week. Lessons happen in a browser on a laptop or desktop, because students type real code, so tablets and phones will not do.

Headway is the lightest commitment. It offers a free daily read and a premium plan with a trial, and the trial works once per app-store account. Pricing depends on plan length, region, and where you buy, so open the plan screen in the app to see the real offer before you subscribe.
