About Emma

Hello! I'm Emma Johnson, your go-to Scratch programming tutor based in the vibrant community of Bonney Lake, WA. With a passion for technology and a zeal for educational innovation, I've dedicated the past 6 years to fostering a love for coding among young minds. My goal is simple but profound: to make learning not just effective but incredibly fun for every child I teach.

Professional Background

Over the years, I've developed a strong foundation in teaching Scratch, starting with basic concepts and moving all the way up to sophisticated game and project creation. My hands-on experience in the classroom, coupled with ongoing professional development in computer science education, has equipped me with the skills necessary to nurture and challenge students of varying skill levels. Recognizing the importance of tech literacy in today’s world, I've crafted a curriculum that empowers kids to understand and utilize the power of coding from an early age.

Teaching Style

My teaching philosophy is built on the premise that learning should be exciting and tailored to each student's interests. I use a mix of storytelling, interactive projects, and problem-solving games that not only keep students engaged but also encourage them to think critically and creatively. I believe in a student-centered approach, adapting my techniques to fit the individual learning style of each child. This means plenty of hands-on exercises and personalized feedback to ensure students not only absorb the material but also apply it with confidence.

My Scratch classes are designed to turn learners into creators, enabling them to build their very own games and animations while mastering coding fundamentals. Expect your child to dive into a world of imagination, coming away with both technical know-how and a heightened sense of creativity.
