Frequently Asked Questions:

What age groups do you teach?

I'm experienced in working with children as young as 7 years old up to teenagers. Scratch is a fantastic starting point for any age within this range.

How do you make coding fun for kids?

I use a game-based learning approach that allows kids to create their own video games, interactive stories, and animations. This hands-on experience not only keeps them engaged but also reinforces the principles of coding in an enjoyable way.

Can my child join if they have no prior coding experience?

Absolutely! I offer beginner classes that start with the basics of Scratch. No previous experience is necessary—just a curiosity and eagerness to learn.

What can my child expect to achieve by taking your classes?

They will gain a solid understanding of the Scratch interface, learn how to think like a programmer, and by the end of the course, have several original projects to their name.

How do you track and measure a student's progress?

I conduct regular assessments through quizzes and project-based evaluations. Additionally, I provide feedback and progress reports to parents to keep them informed of their child's development.
