About Emma Williams

Unlock your child's potential to weave magic with code! I'm Emma Williams, based in the charming town of Newport, PA, and for nearly a decade, I've been sparking joy and curiosity in children through the wondrous world of Scratch programming. My philosophy is simple—learning should be an adventure that's both fun and enriching. And there's nothing quite like the thrill on a youngster's face when they bring their first game to life!

My Background

With over 9 years of dedicated experience teaching Scratch—the vibrant and accessible coding language designed just for kids—I've mastered the craft of making each lesson an immersive experience. I hold firm to the belief that every child is a natural-born creator; sometimes, they need a guide to show them the way. And with my classes, I've proudly watched shy beginners evolve into confident young developers.

My Expertise

Here's what sets the learning journey apart with me:

Tailored Lesson Plans: Every child learns differently, and I delight in designing classes that cater to their unique pace and interests.

Engaging Coding Games: My classes go beyond the basics, infusing game creation that doesn't just teach coding, but critical thinking and problem-solving too.

Empathetic Guidance: I aim to be more than just a teacher; I'm a mentor who nurtures your child's passion, patience, and persistence.

Real World Skills: In Scratch, not only do children learn to code, but they also cultivate design and storytelling skills that benefit them across disciplines.
