For the past 5 years, I've been focusing on teaching Scratch and Roblox to kids who are eager to take their first steps in the world of coding and game development.
Career History:
I started my career as a computer science enthusiast with a degree in Information Technology. After a couple of years working in the industry, I realized my true passion was teaching. I pivoted towards education, initially volunteering at local schools, leading after-school coding clubs. This experience was so rewarding that I decided to become a full-time coding tutor. My journey has been incredibly fulfilling, helping hundreds of kids develop their own games and projects using Scratch and Roblox.
Expertise:
My expertise lies in creating a supportive and dynamic environment where children can learn coding fundamentals through the platforms they love. I specialize in:
Breaking down complex programming concepts into digestible lessons for kids.
Designing engaging coding games that capture children’s imaginations.
Utilizing Scratch and Roblox as educational tools to encourage logical thinking and problem-solving.
Inspiring kids to think like creators, not just consumers, of digital media.
Q: What ages do you teach?
A: I primarily teach children aged 7-14, as this is a pivotal time to develop foundational skills in coding and logical thinking.
Q: What is the structure of your coding classes?
A: Classes are typically an hour long, with a balance of instruction, hands-on coding, and collaborative game testing. Courses range from beginner to advanced levels, ensuring each child's learning needs are met.
Q: How can I track my child’s progress?
A: I provide regular updates and showcase your child’s creations so you can see their progress. Additionally, I offer feedback sessions to discuss their development and future learning path.
Q: Are the classes group sessions or one-on-one?
A: I offer both group sessions to promote teamwork and social skills, and one-on-one classes for personalized learning.
