Courses and labs

Paths that go beyond school

Courses and labs you won't find in tutoring or test prep: study method, STEM labs, soft skills, learning for every age. In Milan and online, individual or in small groups.

Time to broaden the mind

Up to Ten courses aren't tutoring and they aren't entertainment. They're paths designed to expand what you already know how to do — study better, code, experiment, argue, reason. Every course is activated on demand, built around the real level and interests of each participant, and led by a tutor from the team. In Milan at our centre and online, from €25/hour.

Centre active

The catalogue

Four areas, one team

Every course is designed by our team and tailored to the real level and interests of each participant.

Method and independence

When you need more than just today's homework: method, tools, structured paths to tackle school with order.

STEM labs

Coding, robotics, science, creative maths, olympiads. Explorations and projects that build skills and passions.

  • Ages 8-18

    Coding & Programming

    Learn to code with Scratch, Python or JavaScript. From first steps in coding to complete projects — games, apps, automations. The tutor tailors the path to the student's level and interests.

  • Ages 12-18

    Python Course

    Learn Python from scratch: variables, functions, data structures, libraries and hands-on projects. From basic coding to real applications — data analysis, automation, web scraping.

  • Summer intensive

    Videogame Development

    A summer intensive with Godot 4 and GDScript: in four weeks every student programs a complete arcade game with touch controls and installs it on a real phone (or runs it on the emulator). Limited-places group course, with a final presentation and live demo.

  • Ages 8-16

    Educational Robotics

    Build and program robots with LEGO Mindstorms and Arduino kits. Mechanics, electronics and programming in a hands-on course where every lesson produces something tangible.

  • Ages 6-14

    Science Labs

    Practical, hands-on experiments to discover chemistry, physics and biology. Each lab starts from a real question and guides the student to find the answer using the scientific method.

  • Ages 6-14

    Creative Mathematics

    Logic games, maths puzzles and problem-solving challenges. Discover that maths is everywhere — in games, nature and art. For children and teens who want to think differently.

  • Ages 8-14

    Earth Sciences

    Minerals, volcanoes, fossils and astronomy. Hands-on labs to explore our planet and the universe — observation, classification and understanding natural phenomena.

  • Ages 14-18

    Olympiad Preparation

    Advanced courses for students aiming at Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science Olympiads. Non-standard problems, competition strategies and systematic training with specialised tutors.

  • Ages 14-18

    Graphing Calculator Skills

    Learn to use scientific and graphing calculators effectively — TI-84, TI-Nspire, Casio ClassPad. For IB exams, A-Levels and daily study. A powerful tool that few know how to use properly.

None of these is yours? Let's meet in person.

Come visit us at our De Angeli centre in Milan. We'll work out together what you or your kids need and build the right path — based on our existing programmes or tailored to your case.

Languages and debate

English for real communication and structured argumentation. Skills that school hardly ever teaches.

  • Ages 14-18

    Debate in English

    Argumentation, critical thinking and public speaking in English. Competitive and non-competitive formats, building the most in-demand soft skills.

  • Ages 8-18

    General English

    General English courses to improve speaking, writing, listening and reading. Cambridge certification (KET, PET, FCE, CAE) and IELTS preparation with personalised materials.

Adults and over 60s

Learning doesn't stop at 18. Cognitive stimulation, lifelong learning, mental upkeep.

  • 60+

    Silver Mind

    Mental training for over 60s: logic, memory, numerical reasoning and problem solving. Keeping the mind active with stimulating, targeted challenges.

Why it works

Four principles, for any course

Courses, labs and after-school programmes are everywhere. The difference comes down to three things: who runs them, how they're built, what stays afterwards. Here's how we work.

Team tutors, not entertainers

The people who run our courses come from the same team as our tutoring — graduates and undergraduates in engineering, humanities, languages, science and maths. No entertainers with a handbook: real expertise, across every subject.

Built around the participant

No one-size-fits-all programme. We start from the real level, the interests, the time available — and we build a path that can be completed with real satisfaction.

Continuity, not a one-off event

A course isn't an isolated event. If after the course you want to continue with tutoring or test prep, the transition is immediate — same team, same platform, continuous history.

Everything tracked on Up to Connect

Every lesson is recorded on our platform. As a parent or adult student, you know what you've done, what you've learned and what comes next. No black boxes.

Creativity is above all the ability to keep asking questions.

How it works

How to activate a course

01

Tell us what you need

Age, interests, goals, current level — tell us what you're looking for. By phone, WhatsApp or in person at our Milan centre.

02

We build the path

Together we choose the right format: individual or small group, frequency, duration and goals. The tutor prepares a custom programme.

03

Let's start

We activate the course with the right tutor from our team. Every lesson is tracked in Up to Connect — you always know what happened and what's next.

For every age

From primary school to the golden years

Ages 6-10

First steps

Scratch, creative maths, science labs, robotics with LEGO, first steps in English. The age when one thing done well can open up a whole world.

Ages 11-14

Exploration

Basic Python, robotics with Arduino, more solid English, debate, first olympiads, study method. The moment when curiosity turns into direction.

Ages 15-18

Deep dive

Advanced Python, Olympiad preparation, competitive debate, graphing calculator for IB and A-Level, homeschool support. To go beyond the school curriculum.

Ages 18+

Lifelong learning

English for work or life, Silver Mind for over 60s, study method for those returning to learn. Because learning doesn't stop at 18.

Da 2 a 8,5 in matematica

Competenza, serietà e capacità di motivare i ragazzi. Mio figlio, IV scientifico sportivo, è passato da un 2 del primo quadrimestre all' 8,5 dell' ultima verifica. Ci fossero state più stelle avrei dato il massimo. Grazie

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We're here to support you. You contact us, you tell us what you need — what your child is looking for, what you want to learn, what you're curious about. We recommend the right course or path. Sometimes we suggest starting with something else, for example tutoring if school needs untangling first.
Yes. Courses are activated when you want — no fixed calendar, no enrolment deadlines. You contact us, we figure out together what's needed, and we start with the right tutor from the team at the best moment for you.
Both. You can choose individual lessons (1 student, 1 tutor) or small groups (maximum 3-4 participants of similar age and level). Individual lessons allow a fully personalised path; small groups add the collaborative element.
Tutors from our team — graduates or undergraduates in engineering, humanities, languages, science and maths. The same people who deliver our tutoring. No entertainers with a handbook: real expertise on every subject.
Courses start from €34/hour for individual lessons; small groups have dedicated rates. See all the details on our Pricing page.
Three things. First: who runs the lesson — a tutor from the team, not an entertainer. Second: how it's built — around the person, not the group. Third: what stays — a path with tracked progress, not a weekend that ends there. A summer camp entertains; an Up to Ten course teaches.
Yes. Silver Mind is designed for over 60s (cognitive stimulation, lifelong learning). General English and study method are also open to university students and professionals. Learning doesn't stop at 18.
Yes, like everything else in the Up to Ten ecosystem. Every lesson is recorded: topics covered, assignments, progress, goals. You always know where you are and what comes next. No black boxes.
