About Benjamin Johnson

Hello! I'm Benjamin Johnson, your guide on the exhilarating adventure that is learning to code. For nearly a decade, I've had the joy of teaching young minds in Harrisville, UT, the ins and outs of Scratch and Roblox—the gateways to the universe of programming for children. My passion lies in turning what can be a daunting subject into an accessible, enjoyable, and immensely rewarding experience, fostering both analytical and creative thinking.

I thrive on the energy and curiosity my students bring to each class, and nothing compares to the pride I feel when a student grasps a new concept or solves a problem. I've had the pleasure of watching many of my students grow from beginners to confident young developers, ready to tackle more complex computing languages.

Experience

With 9 years under my belt, I've honed an expertise in breaking down complex coding principles into digestible and engaging lessons. My dedication to teaching has been recognized by both parents and students, earning me an average rating of 4.8 stars across 15 reviews. My experience extends beyond the mere technical skills, as I emphasize the importance of creative thinking and problem-solving to fully harness the power of Scratch and Roblox.

Teaching Approach

My approach to teaching is rooted in the belief that learning should be as exciting as playing a game. This is why my curriculum is heavily project-based, allowing students to apply coding concepts in real-time by building their own games and digital projects. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s pace, ensuring no one feels left behind. Whether your child is just discovering coding or seeking to polish their skills, I structure my lessons around their unique needs and interests, often infusing humor and challenges that spur a deeper engagement with the material.

I advocate a hands-on learning style, encouraging students to experiment and learn from trial and error—after all, some of the best learning happens through making mistakes! My goal is to empower each child to think like a coder; to break down larger tasks into smaller, manageable pieces, and to persist through challenges.

FAQs

Q: What ages do you teach?

A: I mainly focus on teaching children ages 7-14, which I believe is the perfect age range to start grasping coding concepts while having fun.

Q: How do I know if my child is making progress?

A: Progress is measured through the completion of projects, comprehension of concepts during lessons, and, most importantly, the enthusiasm and confidence your child displays when tackling coding challenges.

Q: Do you offer group classes or one-on-one sessions?

A: I offer both! Group classes are great for fostering a sense of community and teamwork, while one-on-one sessions are perfect for tailored guidance and focus.
