Tutor Profile: Benjamin Jones

About

Hello there! I'm Benjamin Jones, and for the past four years, I've delighted in sharing the wonders of coding with the bright minds of Platteville, WI. I specialize in teaching Scratch, a vibrant and accessible programming language that's perfect for helping kids dive into the world of code. My passion is making learning an adventure, so I design my classes to be as fun and immersive as possible. Through crafting original coding games and interactive learning experiences, I aim to instill a love for technology and problem-solving in every one of my students.

Experience

Over the last four years, I have dedicated myself to educating young learners in the fundamentals of Scratch programming. During this time, I've had the chance to refine my teaching strategies, tailoring lessons to suit a diverse range of learning styles and abilities. With a particular emphasis on game creation, I've guided numerous children through the joys of bringing their imaginations to life through code.

Expertise

Scratch Programming: Skilled in teaching beginners to advanced-level students, I focus on the fundamental concepts of coding while gradually introducing more complex principles.

Game Development: I believe in learning by doing, which is why I help students design and build their own video games in Scratch, developing both their creative and technical skills.

Interactive Learning: My classes are not just about staring at a screen. I incorporate interactive elements that encourage active participation and deeper understanding.

A: I work primarily with children aged 8 to 14, as Scratch is ideal for this age group.
Q: Do you offer in-person or online classes?
A: I offer both! While I love to engage with students in person in Platteville, I also provide online classes for flexible learning.
