Python Tutorials

Tutorials are a great way to brush up on a concept or fill in a gap for content that may not be taught in one of the main courses. Each tutorial offers instruction on a specific programming concept and typically takes between 10 - 30 minutes to work through. Tutorials are easy to use and share—no CodeHS account is needed.

You guys are wonderful. My students have learned JavaScript and Python. I have another group learning web design - one who has really done quite well and loves bootstrap. Seriously, you are the best. Thank you.

Jennifer Medordi

Shoreham-Wading River High School

I just want to thank you for bringing me into the field of computer science. When I was in my junior year of high school, I decided to take AP CSP out of curiosity. My high school was using CodeHS, and I became absolutely absorbed in the courses. I enjoyed them so much that I also finished the Python and AP CSA courses in my free time. I’m currently studying computer science at UC Berkeley and I’m even on course staff for Berkeley’s introductory programming course. I really don’t think any of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for CodeHS.

Trying to engage ELA students to write long python code can be a challenge. I found that CodeHS and Tracy the turtle provided the engaging resources to help students of all capabilities to code. CodeHS has made my classroom hands on and accessible to all students. The teacher resources are amazing and allows teachers of any level the ability to confidently teach code.

Crystal Torbush

Louisa High School

I wasn’t initially certified to teach computer science, but CodeHS made it very easy for me to jump into teaching multiple programming languages (Java, JavaScript, and Python). I even earned my Computer Science teaching certification last year from just becoming familiar with the material while teaching with CodeHS.
