About Benjamin Williams

Hello, I'm Benjamin Williams, and I specialize in unlocking the creative potential in young minds through the fascinating world of coding. Nestled in the heart of Shillington, PA, for the past three years, I have dedicated myself to teaching Scratch and Roblox to kids with a passion for making each lesson not just educational, but incredibly fun too!

I believe that every child possesses untapped potential and it's my joy to help them discover it by creating engaging coding games and activities that excite and challenge them. While coding might be a technical skill, I approach it with an artist's heart, encouraging imagination and innovation in every class.

Career History

Starting as a software developer, I quickly realized that my true calling was in education. I decided to combine my technical expertise with my love for teaching, thus embarking on a mission to introduce the world of game development and coding to children.

I began as a volunteer at local schools, teaching basic programming concepts. Not long after, I established my own curriculum which has since evolved into a comprehensive course offering that ranges from introductory classes to advanced sessions aimed at perfecting the skills of young coders.

As I grew as an educator, I continued to adapt my teaching methods, ensuring each lesson was as engaging as it was informative. This approach has helped me become one of Shillington's top-rated tutors.

Expertise

I have developed an expertise in:

Child-Centric Curriculum: Tailoring lessons to the individual learning styles of each child.

Game-Based Learning: Using the game development platforms Scratch and Roblox as the canvas for teaching coding principles.

Problem-Solving: Encouraging students to think critically and creatively as they navigate through coding challenges.

Project Management: Guiding students through the process of planning, designing, and executing their own coding projects.

FAQs

Q: What is the right age for kids to start learning to code with Scratch and Roblox?

A: Scratch is designed for children ages 8 and up, while Roblox can be suitable for children ages 10 and up due to its slightly more complex nature. However, each child is unique, and readiness can depend on individual interest and cognitive development.

Q: How do you measure progress in your classes?

A: Progress is gauged through a combination of regular quizzes, project milestones, and most importantly, a child's ability to express their thoughts and learnings in both verbal and practical coding assignments.
