With an unwavering commitment to making learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience, I specialize in transforming the complex world of coding into a fun-filled adventure for kids.

Background
For the past 6 years, I have dedicated myself to instructing and guiding children through their coding journeys. My love for technology and desire to impart knowledge has led me to specifically focus on Scratch, an intuitive and kid-friendly programming language. This focus has allowed me to develop a comprehensive curriculum aimed at creating a strong foundation for your child's future in coding.
I hold a degree in Computer Science and have a background in game design, providing me the expertise needed to create stimulating and engaging coding games. Having taught hundreds of students, I've refined my teaching methods to ensure that each child gains the confidence and skills needed to excel at their own pace.
Areas of Expertise

Personalized Learning Pathways for Each Student
What ages do you teach?
I teach children aged 7 to 14. Each lesson is tailored to match the individual's learning stage and age-appropriate challenges.
How long does it take for a child to create a game on their own?
This varies with each child, but on average, students can start developing simple games after just a few lessons and advance to more complex projects as they grow in confidence and skill.
Do you offer group classes or just one-on-one?
I offer both group classes and one-on-one sessions. Group classes are a great way to encourage team-building and collaboration, while individual sessions provide tailored attention to your child's specific needs.
What do I need to get started?
A computer with internet access and a passion for learning are all that's required! All my classes are taught using the free Scratch platform.
