Tutor Location
Welcome to the dynamic world of coding, where creativity intersects with technology to foster innovation! I am Harper Smith, your dedicated Scratch coding tutor, located in the vibrant streets of Madison, WI. My mission is to illuminate the minds of young learners by making coding not just an educational journey but a thrilling adventure.
With a foundational belief that learning should be a joyous experience, I've tailored my teaching approach to transform the sometimes daunting task of coding into an engaging, playful, and highly interactive endeavor. I specialize in harnessing the power of Scratch, a visual programming language designed for children, to empower my students to construct their digital games, animations, and stories.
Experience
Over the past two years, I've had the pleasure of guiding numerous students through the world of Scratch coding. My classroom extends beyond conventional methods, providing a collaborative and inclusive environment where each child's imagination can run wild. My interactive lessons are crafted to encourage students to think critically, solve problems creatively, and embrace their individuality through code.
I've had the delight of witnessing my students grow from burgeoning programmers with no background in coding to confident creators who can design complex games and interactive projects. Their successful transformations stand as a testament to my dedication and the effectiveness of my teaching methodology.
