Java for school students: object-oriented thinking with exams in mind
Java is the language of ICSE and ISC computing and of AP Computer Science A. Students who write many programs and trace code by hand do best.
We usually reply within one working day.
What it is
Java programming (ICSE, ISC and AP Computer Science A) in plain words
Java is strict, which makes it good for learning careful programming. Students learn classes, objects, methods, arrays, strings and recursion, and they practise tracing programs, which exams ask for.

FAQ
Java programming: questions parents ask
Is Java harder than Python?
It has more rules, so it takes a little longer at first. Careful practice pays off.
Do you teach Java?
Yes. A teacher from our network who teaches this is matched to your child's age and level before anything is booked.
Should I learn Python or Java first?
Python is gentler. If your school uses Java, start with it or learn Python basics first.
