Online tutoring for children: Maths, Scratch, Python and AI vibe coding
Children want to learn coding through play, parents need someone to walk them through maths. Online lessons with AI tools work for both sides.
Online tutoring for children is a 1:1 service combining catching up on maths with an introduction to coding through Scratch and Python and the current trend of vibe coding โ where the child uses AI tools to build their own mini apps. The main challenge for a beginner is building reputation with parents through Tutorful and word-of-mouth and managing the pedagogical relationship with children across different age groups.
Parents of school-age children hit two typical problems โ the child cannot keep up with maths and school explanations don't land, or the child is bored at school and wants something extra, but the parent cannot teach coding themselves. Local clubs are group-based, often far away and don't fit the rhythm of the individual child.
๐ฎAI vibe coding makes coding fun for kids
Instead of memorising syntax the child describes what they want and AI tools write code that the child then tweaks. This shift in the past few years has made coding something a child enjoys from the first lesson, instead of two years of frustration before the first meaningful project.
