Hey parents, love our school? Give us a review!
My name is Christian and I am excited to join theCoderSchool in Commack as the Site Director! I attended Stony Brook University and graduated with my degree in Exercise Science. For the past eight years, I have been running various gyms including Blink Fitness, Gold’s Gym, 24 Hour Fitness and most recently, UFC Gym in New Hyde Park. I got into fitness for personal reasons and was able to successfully navigate my own journey to becoming healthier. That journey inspired me to work on helping others with their own situations.
I am enthusiastic about inspiring people to reach their goals and doing it in a warm, welcoming, and fun environment. This is the type of energy that I brought to the fitness world and it’s what I plan to bring to theCoderSchool!
On a personal note, I have a beautiful wife and daughter, two dogs (one English and one French bulldog), I’m a huge baseball fan and I love to draw!
My name is Noreen Kazi and I’m the owner of theCoderSchool Commack. I am an active Long Island parent that is excited about bringing this dedicated coding program to our students. I have experience as a community leader and organizer and I have spent over 20 years creating educational curriculums and leading programs focused on ensuring that our youth are ready to be tomorrow’s leaders.
Through my experience designing educational curriculums, I have had the privilege of seeing how technology has positively impacted curriculum development. What I love about coding is that it drives innovation – coding provides students with the ability to take an idea that they have, make that idea come to life, and then share that idea with millions of people. Additionally, coding can provide a cross curricular benefit by improving student’s math skills as they start to visualize and break down problems from other angles. I truly believe that Long Island is at the cutting edge of educational innovation and I am excited about bringing this offering to our kids. You can reach me anytime at noreen@thecoderschool.com.
My name is Nisha Bhalla and I am the Senior Advisor of theCoderSchool Commack. I still remember learning how to code in Linux and was fascinated with the collaboration and support of the programming community as we all looked to build a better program, together. Technology has continued to drive significant change and the ability to code is a skill set that every student should have.
I am so excited about bringing this program to Suffolk County in a setting that is both educational and fun. As a graduate of Harvard Business School, I have seen firsthand the way technology has impacted the future of all industries from farming to healthcare and I can’t wait to bring this knowledge to our students. Additionally, I have over 10 years of experience working in product development roles at various Fortune 500 companies and start-ups and I am thrilled about sharing this career knowledge with our students.
I’m also passionate about mentoring students on their communication and presentation skills, and I love that this program will not only teach kids how to code, but also how to engage their audiences to effectively communicate their ideas and opinions.
We're always looking for great Code Coaches. Shoot us an email with resumé to see if we're a fit!
As you and your family consider coding programs, it helps to keep in mind:
Whether the student wants to explore Minecraft modding in Minecraft camp, is interested in HTML, or wants to learn block-based coding like CSS, our interactive classes provide a great coding experience.
Celebrate your child’s special day by taking over The Coder School! 
Have your girl scout troop earn their coding badge! From coding basics to digital game design, and app development, we are able to meet the requirements of all badges. We offer a workshop for your girl scouts. Please contact us if you are interested.
Do you love working with kids? Are you a computer science major? Do you love to teach? Do you love coding? Apply now! Email your resumé to commack@thecoderschool.com.
