About Harper Jones

Passionate about nurturing future innovators, I am Harper Jones, your friendly and dedicated Scratch coding tutor based in the charming city of Charleston, SC. With a personal philosophy that learning should be enjoyable and accessible, I focus on transforming the complexity of coding into captivating and interactive experiences for children. Over the past three years, I have had the pleasure of guiding young minds through the vast and colorful world of Scratch coding, ensuring each lesson is packed with fun and creativity.

Background

I embarked on my journey as an educator after realizing my talent for breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible chunks. Following my studies in Computer Science and Education, I chose to specialize in teaching programming to kids because I believe in the importance of equipping the next generation with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that coding nurtures.

I have meticulously honed my teaching methods to cater to the varied learning styles of children. My teaching approach balances theoretical understanding with hands-on practice, maintaining a playful atmosphere that has made my coding classes a hit among my students in Charleston.

Areas of Expertise

Scratch Programming: Tailoring lessons for both absolute beginners and more advanced students, I help children create their own games, stories, and animations.

Game Design Fundamentals: Not only do I teach how to code the game, but also the essential elements of what makes a game enjoyable and engaging.

Project-based Learning: I encourage students to work on projects that interest them, ensuring they remain passionate and invested in their coding journey.

Interactive Learning: My custom-created coding games guarantee that each class is full of laughter and learning.

FAQs

Q: What age range do you teach?
A: I specialize in teaching children aged 7 to 14. Scratch is designed for this age range, making it a perfect platform for young learners to start their coding adventure.
Q: Do you offer both in-person and online classes?
A: Yes, I provide the flexibility of both in-person and online classes. This ensures that every child has the opportunity to learn regardless of their location or schedule.
