Kal’s classes are outstanding. I took Data Structures and Algorithms in order to get better prepared for live-coding interviews and it was a huge help to me! I’ve found an SDE job that I think I’m going to love and I was better prepared for that interview because of Kal Academy. I also got a lot out of the Python class. Kal packs a lot of great teaching into an hour class, assigns challenging and worthwhile homework, and she takes time outside of class to review homework and address questions. I highly recommend Kal Academy!

Kal has a true passion and innate natural ability to teach. She is a wizard at making complex concepts easy to understand and her classes are affordable and welcoming. But what makes Kal truly amazing is that she genuinely cares for her students and also teaches us to believe in ourselves and have confidence. For someone like me who had zero coding experience going in, the emotional challenges were just as tough as the intellectual ones but she was there to support me all the way and now I will be starting my first coding internship at Microsoft in the next two weeks. 😀 I feel very lucky to have met Kal early on in my coding journey. 🙂
