Parents searching “how much do online coding classes for kids cost” are usually comparing three things: YouTube (free, no mentor), a recorded app subscription, and live tutors. Live US 1:1 shops commonly sit in the $20–$50+ per hour range. Always verify a competitor’s current rate on their site — we do not invent those numbers.
GeekashramJr US session prices (approximate)
| Plan | Group size | About per session | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Explorers | Up to 5 students | $6 | Steady live practice at the lowest live price |
| Champions | Up to 3 students | $9 | Small-group coding and AI projects |
| Super Mentors | 1:1 | $11 | Fastest progress, custom pacing |
| Trial | 1:1 intro | $3 | 45-minute live class, adjusted on enrolment |
Those $6–$11 figures are the wedge against $20–$50+ live tutors: IIT/NIT and Tier 1 mentors, project-based Python with AI, Scratch, and web development syllabi — not a slideshow.
What you are actually paying for
- Live mentor in the session — bugs get fixed with the child, not in a comment thread
- A project they can show you the same week
- Small batches (3–5) or Super Mentors 1:1 — not a 40-kid webinar
- Placement after the trial so Grade 3 does not sit in a Grade 10 Python room

Pricing only matters if the adult on the call can teach. Read Ankit Singh (web and founding mentor), Swati Priya (web and AI), and Shivam Jha (AI and maker projects) before you compare another platform’s hourly rate.
GeekashramJr is live online worldwide. US families start at USA classes and US pricing. Also available in the UK, UAE, India, Canada, Australia, and Singapore — pick another country for local times.
If the math looks fair, the next step is not another comparison tab. Book a $3 trial in the US ($3; other countries see the local trial on the form), then compare live coding plans in USD.
