Who we are
Boolean is an online academy that helps passionate people become software engineers.
We take people with lots of potential and turn them into quality developers through our intensive, full-time courses.
We've taken the best of classroom teaching (1:1 support, pair and group work, sense of community) and we've fused it with online lessons. In this way we've been able to create an intensive full-time course with live teaching that students can follow from the comfort of their homes.
What do Teachers do?
The main activities are divided into:
• Morning: run sessions for classes of students that typically have 25~ participants. Sessions include live code reviews of exercises, introducing new concepts, live demos, and assigning practical work
• Afternoon: support and tutor students while they complete their daily exercises. This means answering questions live and/or via chat, as well as making sure the students are progressing smoothly through the material
Teachers also continuously improve the content, working on developing and updating the materials such as exercises, lessons, and documentation.
The work doesn't stop with teaching coding: Teachers help students understand the DNA of a developer, injecting them with a thirst for knowledge, a problem-solver mindset, and a healthy dose of geekiness.
Additionally, teachers can opt-in to host talks, webinars, interviews, and other public-facing events with us! Check out our latest Coding Week!
