Teaching Journey

My journey as a Scratch educator began with a simple goal: to make learning interactive and captivating for kids. Over the years, I’ve honed an approach that is both educational and entertaining. I craft my classes specifically to keep young minds engaged while they navigate the logic and creativity of coding. Witnessing my students bring their incredible ideas to life in the form of games and projects has been a truly fulfilling experience.

I started out teaching small groups at local community centers, which soon blossomed into larger classes due to word of mouth. From absolute beginners to those looking to advance their skills, I've had the joy of guiding a multitude of students through their coding adventures, helping them tackle challenges and celebrate their accomplishments.
