About:

Hello! I'm Amelia Johnson, a dedicated and energetic coding instructor based in Nazareth, PA. With a passion for technology and education, I have spent the past 4 years empowering young minds through the exciting world of coding. My love for this craft shines through in each lesson as I aim to make learning not just educational but truly enjoyable. I believe that every child has the potential to be a creator, and by teaching them to code with Scratch and Roblox, I’m helping them unlock their creativity in a way that feels like play.

Over the past four years, I have honed my teaching approach to cater to various learning styles, ensuring that each child receives the personalized attention they need to thrive. I started my journey working with a local tech camp, which laid the foundation for my current role as an independent coding tutor. With hundreds of classes under my belt, I've been privileged to witness countless students go from novices to confident, young developers who can design their own games and interactive stories.

Key Expertise:

My key areas of expertise lie in:

Introducing programming concepts to children in a clear and accessible manner

Utilizing Scratch's visual programming platform to teach the basics of coding

Teaching Roblox Studio for more advanced students to develop their own games

Crafting customized lesson plans that align with each student's interests and advancement level

Encouraging problem-solving, logical thinking, and perseverance in the face of challenges
