Tutor Profile: Amelia Williams - Coding for Kids Extraordinaire
Welcome to a world where coding becomes an unforgettable adventure! I'm Amelia Williams, your child's guide into the vibrant lands of Scratch and Roblox. Based in Dumas, TX, I've spent the past three years igniting young minds with the spark of coding. My philosophy is simple yet profound: Learning should be as exciting as playing your favorite game. With every class, I aim to infuse joy into education, making sure that each coding lesson stays with your child for a lifetime.
Background
Born with a love for technology and an educator's heart, I took my passion into the classroom. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and a certificate in Educational Technology. Starting as a computer lab teacher, I found my calling in teaching coding when I saw how it empowered children to become creators, not just consumers of digital content. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to crafting curriculum that serves as both a learning experience and a creative outlet.
Expertise
My expertise lies in transforming abstract coding concepts into tangible projects that children adore. Scratch, with its simple interface, is perfect for introducing young learners to the basics of programming. As they advance, we delve into the immersive universe of Roblox, where they can build and share their own games. I specialize in:
Teaching programming fundamentals
Facilitating problem-solving and logical thinking
Empowering creativity through game design
Navigating and mastering Scratch and Roblox environments
Customizing lesson plans to cater to individual learning speeds and interests
I’m proud to say that my engaging approach has made me one of the top-rated tutors in Dumas, reflecting the satisfaction and progress of my students.

How do you tailor your classes to different skill levels?
I assess each student's experience and interests and create a personalized learning plan. These incremental steps ensure a challenge suited to their level without overwhelming them.
Are your coding classes group sessions or one-on-one?
