Tutor Location
Hello! I'm Harper Jones, your dedicated and passionate coding tutor, specializing in Scratch and Roblox learning adventures for kids here in Dayton, TX. With three years of experience under my belt, I've been on a fantastic journey teaching young minds the exciting world of coding. My teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in the concept that education can—and should—be fun!
Background
Coding may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! I started teaching three years ago with the aim of simplifying coding concepts for children. Since then, I have had the pleasure of introducing the joys of programming to numerous students in and around Dayton. Guiding them to transform their fantastic ideas into tangible projects using Scratch and Roblox has been immensely rewarding for both my students and me.
Expertise
My expertise lies in making coding accessible and enjoyable for learners. With Scratch, I introduce the basics of programming through interactive stories and games. Kids naturally love playing games, and when they realize they can create their own, it’s like watching a light bulb turn on.
In addition to Scratch, I help students navigate the more complex world of Roblox. Here, they not only play games but also design and develop their own. This platforms allows for a deeper understanding of game mechanics, scripting, and online collaboration—all skills that are increasingly important in our digital world.
What ages do you teach?
I primarily work with children aged 6-14. However, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, so each child is evaluated individually to tailor the curriculum to their needs and interests.
Are the lessons group-based or one-on-one?
I offer both group sessions and individual lessons. Group classes are great for fostering a sense of community and collaboration among learners, while one-on-one sessions are more tailored to individual learning paces and goals.
Do students need any prior experience with coding before taking your classes?
No prior experience is necessary! My courses are designed to be beginner-friendly, and I am here to guide students through every step, ensuring they grasp the basics before moving on to more complex concepts.
What do students need to get started?
Students just need a computer with internet access. I'll provide access to any additional software or resources they'll need.
