About Emma Smith

Hello, my name is Emma Smith, and my passion is to light the spark of creativity and problem-solving in young minds through coding! Born and raised in New Kensington, PA, I've dedicated the last five years to teaching Scratch and Roblox, believing that learning should always be an adventure. My aim is not just to teach your kids how to code, but to help them become imaginative thinkers and confident creators.

Career History

With a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Masters in Education, I combined my love for technology with teaching to specialize in coding for kids. My journey as an educator began at New Kensington Tech Academy, where I worked for two years before transitioning to private tutoring to offer a more personalized learning experience. I've since had the pleasure of guiding over 200 students, helping them to build and share their own stories through code.

Expertise

My expertise lies in Scratch and Roblox game development, areas that are perfect for young and aspiring programmers. I have a deep understanding of these platforms and am constantly updating my skills to include the latest features and best practices. What sets me apart is my ability to make these technical subjects approachable and enjoyable, by turning lessons into coding adventures.

FAQs

Who can benefit from your tutoring?

My classes are designed for children aged 7 to 14, whether they're new to coding or looking to enhance their existing skills.

How do you tailor your classes to individual needs?

I conduct initial assessments to gauge my student's capabilities and interests. From there, I craft customized learning plans that align with their learning pace and goals.

Parents can expect their children to not only grasp coding fundamentals but also to complete their own Scratch and Roblox projects. More than that, they'll gain critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
