I worked for 7 years and I had a break of three years in my career. I have a toddler son, During the weekdays I’m busy with him. Hence I was looking for a coding academy  who can provide high quality classes on the weekends.  Based on the Yelp reviews, I found Kal academy and It worked perfectly for my situation. Kal is a very rare instructor, She is delivering the class based on her vast work experience, She can easily explain those abstract concepts with an real-world example.
I registered for “Algorithms and Data Structures” and “Programming in C#” class . Overall It has been a great experience with Kal academy. Due to this great experience, I have also registered for few more new courses . It would be impossible to find a coding academy who can afford such a highly valuable courses for a very affordable price. Due to such a high quality , I was able to find a job now. Thank you Kal academy for your wonderful work and making a positive impact on all our lives.

Kal Academy is a hidden gem in Redmond! If you are looking for CS classes, programming courses, courses specific to .Net, or preparing for your next tech interview, look no further than Kal Academy. Kal Academy offers a variety of classes throughout the year at an affordable rate. The Academy’s mission is to bring marketable technical skills to women.

The classes at Kal Academy have helped prepare me for a position as a software engineer at Microsoft. The founder, CEO, and lead instructor, Kal, is extremely competent and knowledgeable, with over 20 years of industry experience. I took the C# class, and not only were the classes extremely helpful, she also records them and sends the students the recording, which allows you to review the lesson again. I started as a beginner, brand new to C#, but was able to follow her easily and keep up with the lessons in class. The concepts we covered in class helped me with my internship project at Microsoft. Kal Academy has given me the foundation I needed to obtain a position at Microsoft. I highly recommend Kal Academy.
