About Evelyn Smith:

Ever since I stepped into the world of Scratch programming, my passion for igniting the creative spirit in young learners has been unwavering. Based in the vibrant town of Shelburne, VT, I've dedicated the past 9 years to crafting an educational journey that not only teaches coding to kids but turns it into an adventure. My mission is simple yet profound: to make learning exhilarating through the power of play and innovation.

Career History:

With a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a specialized certification in Childhood Education, my career began in a local school where the idea of integrating play with learning first took shape. After a fulfilling three-year tenure, I moved on to establish my tutoring practice, focusing entirely on nurturing young coders. Witnessing my students' eyes light up as they bring their ideas to life has been the highlight of my career.

Expertise:

My expertise lies in transforming the abstract concepts of coding into engaging, accessible games and projects that not only teach kids the technical skills of Scratch but also foster problem-solving and critical thinking. A staunch advocate for hands-on learning, I ensure that each lesson is tailored to the individual's pace and interests, providing a deeply personal and effective educational experience.
