About Emma Smith

Welcome to the world of interactive and exciting learning, where your child's journey into the realm of coding is guided by passion and expertise. I'm Emma Smith, a dedicated and fun-filled coding instructor based in Folsom, PA. With a specialty in Scratch and Roblox, my mission is to unlock the creative potential in every young mind.

Having discovered the joy of blending education with entertainment, I have devoted the last five years to teaching coding to kids. As a fervent believer in the power of digital literacy, I ensure that my classes are not merely lessons but adventures that students look forward to each week.

Experience

With a rich background in computer science education and child psychology, I've tailored my approach to suit learners of various skill levels. Over the last half-decade, I have taught over 200 students, many of whom have gone on to showcase their projects at local and regional tech fairs.

Outside of the traditional classroom setting, I have also organized coding camps during summer and winter breaks, focusing on project-based learning and collaboration among peers. My experience has been recognized by parents and students alike, earning me a reputation as one of the top tutors in Folsom.

Teaching Approach

My teaching philosophy revolves around personalization and gamification. Every child is unique, and I believe in customizing my teaching methods to fit individual learning styles. By integrating elements of play, I create a relaxed environment where children are not afraid to take risks or make mistakes.

Through Scratch, I introduce programming concepts in a visual and intuitive manner, allowing kids to learn the fundamentals of logic and problem-solving. As they progress, we delve into Roblox, where they can apply their skills to build and script their own games. This tangible progress is what fuels their desire to learn more and challenges them to think critically.

FAQs

Q: At what age can my child start learning Scratch and Roblox with you?
A: I welcome students as young as seven years old to my Scratch classes, as the platform is designed to be accessible for young learners. For Roblox, which requires slightly more advanced skills, the recommended starting age is ten.
Q: How are your classes structured?
A: Classes are a mix of direct instruction, hands-on practice, and collaborative projects. Depending on the session, we focus on different aspects of coding, from basic commands in Scratch to complex scripting in Roblox.
Q: Do you offer group or private lessons?
A: Both! I offer private lessons for personalized attention and group lessons for peer-to-peer learning and social interaction.
