We create online courses that help people develop practical skills in Programming and Design through clear instruction and hands-on practice.
Newsum was founded by educators and professionals who saw a need for straightforward, practical online education. We noticed that much educational content online was either too simplified to be useful or too complex to be accessible. We wanted to create something in between—courses that respect your intelligence while being genuinely helpful.
Our team includes working programmers and designers who understand both their fields and how to teach effectively. We focus on skills that matter in professional contexts, taught through practical examples and hands-on projects.
We believe education should be clear and focused. Our courses emphasize understanding over memorization, practice over passive consumption, and application over theory. We provide regular feedback, structured learning paths, and support when you need it.
We don't make exaggerated promises about outcomes. Learning takes time and effort. What we can provide is well-structured content, experienced instruction, and a learning environment that supports your progress.
We communicate directly and honestly. Our course descriptions accurately represent what you'll learn. Our materials explain concepts clearly without unnecessary jargon.
We focus on skills you can actually use. Our curriculum prioritizes knowledge that transfers to real work contexts. We teach principles that remain relevant even as specific tools change.
We're transparent about what our courses can and cannot do. We acknowledge limitations and avoid making promises we can't keep. We're honest about the effort required to learn new skills.
We design our courses to be approachable for learners at different levels. We provide support materials and clear explanations. We believe good education should be available to people with varied backgrounds.
Newsum is based in New York and focuses on serving learners in the United States. Our courses are designed with US educational standards and professional contexts in mind. We provide support during US business hours and structure our content for the US market.
We're continuously improving our courses based on student feedback and changes in the fields we teach. We update content regularly to reflect current practices and add new materials to address emerging topics.
Our goal remains simple: provide education that actually helps people develop valuable skills. We measure our success by how well our students learn and apply what they've studied.
