About

Hello! My name is Emma Johnson, and I believe in the power of creativity and innovation through coding. Residing in the welcoming community of Leacock-Leola-Bareville, PA, I have dedicated the past two years to nurturing young minds in the art of programming with Scratch. As an avid advocate for interactive learning, my mission is to unlock each child's unique potential by making the coding journey as exciting and engaging as possible.

Professional Background

With a strong passion for education and technology, I stepped into the world of teaching coding to kids two years ago. This journey has allowed me to transform my enthusiasm for coding into a rewarding career, helping children discover the joys of creating their own games and projects. My educational background, coupled with my hands-on experience in Scratch, has equipped me with the tools to offer classes that not only teach the fundamentals of coding but also encourage analytical thinking and problem-solving.

Teaching Style

My teaching style is centered around the philosophy of "learning through play." I believe that for kids, the most profound learning occurs when they're fully engaged and having fun. Therefore, my Scratch classes focus on creating an immersive experience where children can enjoy experimenting and learning at their own pace. I emphasize personal creativity, allowing each student to bring their unique ideas to life through interactive coding games and tailored projects. My approach is to guide, support, and inspire, ensuring that every child gains confidence in their abilities as they progress.
