About:

Hello! My name is Harper Jones, and I have a true passion for teaching kids the magic of coding through Scratch and Roblox. Residing in the vibrant community of Logan, UT, I've dedicated the last 8 years to nurturing young minds and helping them discover the joy of creating their own games and projects. My approach to teaching is all about making learning an enjoyable and memorable experience. By intricately blending fun with education, I ensure that each session is both engaging and informative.

Experience:

Over the past 8 years, I have worked steadily to master the art of teaching and to understand the unique learning styles of my students. My career as a coding instructor for kids started soon after I recognized the potential of platforms like Scratch and Roblox as powerful educational tools. During this time, I've had the opportunity to mentor hundreds of children, aiding them in transforming their ideas into interactive games and stimulating projects.

Expertise:

I specialize in the following areas:

Scratch Programming: From basic motion and looks to more complex data handling and event management, I guide students through every step of creating their own animations and games.

Roblox Game Development: I help students tame the seemingly complex Roblox Studio and Lua scripting language, so they can create their own worlds and games to play and share with friends.

Children's Learning Strategies: I use age-appropriate methods that enhance learning and retention, ensuring that my teaching style is tailored to the individual needs of each child.

Engagement and Creativity: My lessons are crafted to stimulate creativity, problem-solving, and logical thinking, laying down a solid foundation for future learning adventures in technology and beyond.

FAQs:

Q: What age range do you teach?

A: I primarily teach children aged 7 to 14, but I'm flexible and have experience working with kids slightly outside this range as well.

Q: Do you offer group classes or one-on-one sessions?

A: Both! I offer group classes for a collaborative learning experience and private one-on-one sessions for a more personalized approach.

Q: How does coding with Scratch and Roblox benefit my child?

A: Coding helps children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Scratch and Roblox are excellent tools that make learning to code an intuitive and creative process.

Q: Can my child learn at their own pace?

A: Absolutely. I believe that learning should be pressure-free and tailored to each child's individual pace and interests.
