Tutor Location
Hello, curious minds and aspiring game creators! My name is Harper Smith, and I have dedicated the last nine years to teaching the joy and intricacies of Roblox. Based in the quaint town of Elizabeth, PA, I have turned my passion for coding and game development into a vibrant educational career. There's nothing more thrilling to me than seeing a child’s eyes light up when they bring their virtual worlds to life. I am all about making learning not just informative but also genuinely exciting.
Career History
With nearly a decade of experience, my journey as an educator began shortly after I graduated with a degree in Computer Science. I quickly recognized the potential of Roblox as a tool for teaching kids programming in an interactive and engaging way. Since then, I have worked with over 200 students, ranging from beginners to advanced young coders. My career has been studded with the joy of helping students win accolades for their innovative Roblox games in various coding competitions.
Expertise
I specialize in Roblox game development where I harness the potential of Lua scripting to impart key coding concepts to children. Teaching everything from the basics of logic and problem-solving to more complex programming constructs, I create a tailored learning experience that is both fun and educational. My expertise extends to fostering creativity in young learners, empowering them to design, code, and publish their unique games and interactive experiences.
Q1: What ages do you teach?
A1: I primarily teach students between the ages of 7 and 14. However, I'm open to working with any young learner enthusiastic about creating their own Roblox worlds.
Q2: Are you able to work with students at different skill levels?
A2: Absolutely! Whether your child is just starting or is on their way to becoming a seasoned coder, I individualize my approach to meet them at their level and help them advance.
Q3: How do you make coding classes fun?
A3: I believe that when children play, they learn best. By turning lessons into challenges and making coding games tailored to their interests, I ensure that the learning process is as enjoyable as it is educational.
Q4: What do your classes typically entail?
A4: Classes include interactive learning sessions, project-based tasks, and hands-on coding exercises. Students get to work on personal projects while also learning collaborative skills by teaming up with peers on larger projects.
