Hellloo East Bay!! We are so excited to bring The Coder School to Berkeley! With UC Berkeley, the best public university in the country down the street, Pixar, the leader in animation innovation around the corner and Oakland, the latest stop in the Bay Area tech boom just minutes away, Berkeley is where the next generation of artists, thinkers, inventors and coders are all gathering.
At The Coder School Berkeley, we want to do more than just teach coding. We want aspiring coders to use their new found passion as a stepping stone to thinking outside the box, as a way to channel their ideas in a creative way and most importantly, to have fun. Interested? Book a FREE trial today and we will be in touch shortly to tell you more!

My name is Lynna Tsou, and I'm the general manager/co-owner of theCoderSchool Berkeley. I graduated from UC Berkeley (Go Bears!) with a PhD in educational psychology and have worked for over 25 years as a school psychologist and educational consultant. I have 3 tech-savvy kids, and I'm a founding family member of Yu Ming Charter School and an adjunct professor at the Bay Area Teacher Training Institute (BATTI) where I teach and mentor teachers throughout the Bay Area. I'm also proud to serve as the chair of the Berkeley Public Schools Fund board along with serving as an active volunteer in the Berkeley public schools. I’m passionate about understanding children and how to best support their social-emotional and learning needs and feel grateful to have this opportunity to bring coding and technology to all of our students in a setting that’s welcoming, stimulating, and fun.
