About Amelia Johnson

Hello! My name is Amelia Johnson, and I'm deeply passionate about making coding an enjoyable and accessible experience for children. I believe in the immense creative and intellectual benefits that come from learning how to code at a young age, which is why I specialize in teaching coding skills through Scratch and Roblox—two of the most popular platforms for young aspiring coders. Based in Keyser, WV, I've dedicated the last two years to nurturing young minds, helping them transform their abstract ideas into tangible, interactive projects that they can be proud of.

Experience

With two years of hands-on experience teaching coding, I have had the privilege of guiding numerous students through the exciting journey of game and project creation. My classes are tailored to children of various skill levels—from complete beginners to more advanced coders who seek to refine their skills. My approach to teaching is dynamic and student-centered, focusing on problem-solving and critical thinking while ensuring that the learning process remains fun and engaging.

Expertise

My expertise lies in simplifying complex coding concepts and making them relatable for kids. Specifically, I:

Teach foundational programming concepts using Scratch, an intuitive block-based visual programming language that encourages children to think creatively.

Offer instruction in Roblox game development, where students learn to create and publish their own games and interactive worlds, which serves as an exciting introduction to the world of game design.

Develop unique coding games and challenges that not only captivate my students' interests but also solidify their understanding of coding principles.

Continuously update my curriculum to incorporate the latest educational strategies and coding trends to ensure my teaching remains relevant and effective.
