About
Breakout Mentors focuses on kids coding through project-based 1-on-1 learning. Students work on hands-on coding projects such as making creative games, developing text based games in Python, and building games from scratch. Depending on their level, students can also explore object-oriented programming, USACO competitive programming, machine learning, artificial intelligence, working with APIs, data visualization, and graphing.
• Ages: 8–18 years old
• Schedule: Regular 90-minute private session each week with a mentor, with options between 8am and 10pm Pacific Time
• Price: Challenging, personalized kids coding for as low as $85/hr, with limited time offers including $100 off the first month for families on the email list
Breakout Mentors offers multiple coding tracks, including a Coding Fundamentals Track, Computer Science Track, USACO Competitive Programming Academy, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Academy, and Girls Coding Academy, using languages such as Scratch, Python, Java, HTML, and JavaScript. Mentors are engineering students from Stanford University and UC Berkeley, advanced specialists from other schools, and for Southern California learners, Computer Science students at UCLA. Breakout Mentors started in 2011 with a recent Stanford Engineering graduate, and for nearly 15 years its mentors have worked with thousands of students who began coding at a young age, with over 90% of students continuing to code long-term. Families from many cities, including Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Irvine, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Sherman Oaks, and others across the Los Angeles area, have participated through online and in-person mentoring. Testimonials from parents describe students progressing from Scratch to Java, moving into topics like APIs and data visualization, reaching USACO platinum level, and preparing for advanced classes such as AP Computer Science – Data Structures.
