Tutor Location
Greetings! I'm Benjamin Jones, your friendly neighborhood coding instructor specializing in Scratch and Roblox for kids here in the delightful town of Park City, UT. I have an insatiable passion for technology and teaching, and I find nothing more rewarding than making learning an exciting adventure for young minds.
With a background in computer science and education, my journey began about 8 years ago when I realized the joy that comes from helping kids turn their fantastic ideas into interactive realities. I've dedicated myself to nurturing future creators by demystifying the world of coding through games and interactive storytelling.
Career History:
I dove headfirst into the ed-tech space straight out of college, working with local schools to introduce basic programming principles. My love for gaming and coding led me to create a curriculum that focuses on "learning by doing," which caught the attention of parents and educators alike. I've since worked with over 500 students, tailoring each lesson to their individual pace and interest, ensuring that the learning process remains both challenging and enjoyable.
Expertise:
My expertise lies in translating complex coding concepts into bite-sized, digestible lessons that kids not only understand but also enjoy. With Scratch, I help students craft everything from simple animations to intricate games, boosting their logical thinking and problem-solving skills. In the realm of Roblox, I guide them through the fascinating process of game development and Lua scripting, turning them from players into creators.
I'm always up to date with the latest educational strategies and game updates, ensuring your child receives the most relevant and engaging instruction. Creativity is at the heart of my teaching philosophy, and I am an expert at igniting that spark in young coders.
Q: At what age can my child start learning with you?
A: Kids as young as 7 years old can begin their coding journey in my Scratch classes, and as they grow more confident, we can transition to Roblox development.
Q: How do we track our child's progress?
A: I provide regular updates with detailed feedback, highlighting achievements and areas for improvement. Plus, you'll see the apps and games your child creates!
Q: Do you offer group or private sessions?
A: Both! Depending on your child's comfort level and learning preferences, I offer one-on-one sessions and small group classes for peer interaction.
Anna Richardson: "Benjamin has been a Godsend. My daughter was initially shy but now creates games she's proud to share. Amazing progress!"
Michael Lee: "Mr. Jones turned our son's love for games into a passion for making them. His grades have improved, and so has his confidence. Thank you!"
Sophia Patel: "I was skeptical about online classes, but Benjamin's approach is very hands-on, and my son looks forward to every lesson. The improvement is incredible!"
With an impressive average rating of 4.4 stars from 48 reviews, it's clear that my commitment to turning education into an interactive and enjoyable experience has resonated with both my students and their parents. I'm beyond excited to welcome your child into this world of digital creation and watch them thrive as the next generation of young innovators. If you're looking for a tutor who will light up your child's imagination and arm them with the skills for tomorrow, let's connect and start this adventure together!
