Monthly workshops
Staying ahead.
Together.
The world is changing faster than any classroom can keep up with. These workshops are for students who want to stay ahead: to understand the tools shaping the future, think critically about them, and walk away with real skills that set them up for whatever comes next.
Safety & AI Ethics
What should AI be allowed to do, and what shouldn't it? Students explore real-world dilemmas, learn to use AI responsibly, and leave with a framework for thinking critically about the technology shaping their world.
Write Your First Song
A full session dedicated to songwriting from scratch: structure, melody, lyrics, and recording a rough version. No experience needed. Students leave with a real original song they made that day.
Intro to AI
Where AI stands right now, what it means for the world, and how children can start working with it. Students leave with a simple introductory project of their own, built with and about AI.
How we teach
Sessions built for focus.
Whether it's a private lesson or a small group class, every session is structured to keep children engaged and learning at their best.
1-on-1 Private Sessions
Every session is fully private and tailored. Your child gets 100% of the tutor's attention: no sharing, no waiting. The curriculum adapts in real time to how they're doing.
Small Group Classes
Small groups of two to five learners who opt in to work together. Sessions stay collaborative and high-energy, with room for discussion, peer support, and shared momentum.
Focus-First Academics
Academic sessions are structured around the Pomodoro technique: 25-minute focused blocks followed by 5-minute breaks. Children retain more, feel less drained, and actually finish sessions with energy to spare.
Getting started
Simple from day one.
Tell us about your child
Fill out a quick form with your child's age, interests, and goals. We'll match them to the right tutor and subject.
Attend a free intro session
Your child meets their tutor for a free intro session (45 min). No card required. We find where they are and what excites them most.
Watch them come alive
Regular sessions tailored to their pace and interests. Progress updates after every session so you're always in the loop.

Our belief
“We treat every child like the capable person they already are.”
A child who is genuinely excited about what they're learning absorbs more, retains longer, and keeps coming back. Excitement isn't a nice-to-have: it's the mechanism. That's what every session at Puzzle Learning is built around.
Read our full mission →Why it works
Our principles.
Excitement first, always
When a child is genuinely excited to learn, they absorb more and stick with it. Every session is built to spark and sustain that energy.
Real expertise
Working professionals, not tutors reading from scripts. Elise and Hayley bring lived experience into every lesson.
Progress you can see
Clear communication with parents after every session. No guessing about whether your child is improving.
Built around them
No one-size-fits-all curriculum. Every session adapts to your child's pace, interests, and learning style.
Parent stories
Hear from families.
“Hayley has such a gift for connecting with kids. Through techniques and music theory taught in class, my daughter became so much more confident in her voice.”
“Elise makes coding feel like play. My son talks about joining her class and their projects so much during dinner.”
“Concepts that never stuck in class finally made sense once Elise walked her through them in plain language. She gets how to explain things so my daughter actually understands, not just memorizes.”
