Tutor Location
Welcome to the exciting world of coding education with me, Emma Brown! My passion lies in igniting young minds with the power of programming through interactive and playful learning experiences. Based in the scenic Keystone, South Dakota, I've dedicated over five years to educating children in the fundamentals of coding using Scratch and Roblox, two platforms that I believe are gateways to the vast universe of computer science.
Professional Background
I embarked on this journey five years ago with a mission to make coding accessible and enjoyable for kids. My professional background is deeply rooted in computer science, with a focus on educational technology. Over the years, I've honed my skills to craft a curriculum that is as entertaining as it is educational. I've had the pleasure of watching my students grow from novices to confident young coders who are capable of creating their own games and projects with a strong understanding of logical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
Teaching Style
My teaching philosophy revolves around the belief that learning should be a delightful adventure. I strive to create a nurturing environment where kids can experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them without any fear. Classes are a blend of short, digestible lectures followed by hands-on sessions where students put theory into practice. I use a variety of coding games and projects to cater to different learning styles, ensuring each child can thrive. I encourage curiosity and love to see my students challenge themselves, pushing their creative limits with each new task.
Key Components of My Teaching Style:
Interactive Learning: Utilizing games and interactive projects to maintain engagement.
Personalized Attention: Tailoring learning experiences to each child’s abilities and interests.
Positive Reinforcement: Celebrating every milestone to boost confidence.
Critical Thinking: Encouraging problem-solving and experimentation.
Continuous Feedback: Providing constructive critiques to promote continuous growth.
Who can benefit from these coding classes?
My classes are perfect for children of all skill levels, from beginners who are just discovering the joy of coding to more advanced students looking to deepen their knowledge and craft more complex games and projects in Scratch and Roblox.
What is the age range for your students?
I specialize in teaching children ages 8 through 14, an age range where they can grasp complex concepts and translate them into creative endeavors.
How does online tutoring work?
Classes are conducted via a virtual classroom setting. Each session includes live instruction, screen sharing for real-time guidance, and Q&A opportunities. All you need is a stable internet connection and a computer for your child to participate!
What learning materials do I need to provide?
Aside from a computer and internet access, no additional materials are needed. Both Scratch and Roblox have free online platforms that we’ll be using.
A Parent's Perspective:
"Emma has an incredible way of making coding something my daughter looks forward to. Since starting her classes, she's not only learned a ton but has also gained so much confidence in her problem-solving skills. We're grateful to have Emma as her guide into the world of technology."
A Budding Coder Says:
"Ms. Brown's classes are the highlight of my week! She makes everything super fun, and I can't believe I've already made my own Roblox game. She always has cool tips and tricks to share!"
Another Parent Notes:
"Emma Brown is by far one of the top tutors in Keystone. My son's interest in STEM has skyrocketed since he started her Scratch classes. He's always excited about the projects they do, and I can see the progress in his critical thinking. She's got a solid 5 stars from us!"
With an average rating of 4.2 stars from 25 reviews, I'm proud to say that my dedication to children's coding education is making an impact. If you're looking for a tutor who will ensure your child has fun while learning valuable skills, I'm excited to embark on this coding adventure with your family!
