Teaching Methods

My teaching philosophy is centered around making learning an exciting and engaging experience. I employ a variety of methods to cater to different learning styles:

Gamified Learning: At the core of my teaching approach are coding games for kids, which transform complex concepts into enjoyable and relatable challenges.

Project-Based Assignments: Real coding comes from doing. That's why I encourage students to dive into creating their own games and projects from Day One.

Customized Learning Paths: Each child is unique, so their learning journey should be too. Whether your child is a budding beginner or a seasoned young developer, I tailor the lessons to meet their specific needs and goals.

Interactive Online Classes: Technology allows us to learn from anywhere. My online classroom is a space where students can collaborate, share, and grow together.

FAQs

Q: What age range do you teach?
A: I cater to a wide range of students, primarily between the ages of 7 and 14, but I'm more than happy to work with curious minds outside this age bracket too.
Q: Can you help my child if they've never coded before?
A: Absolutely! Scratch is designed for beginners, making it the perfect starting point for any child interested in coding.
Q: How does Scratch prepare my child for advanced programming?
A: Scratch introduces fundamental programming concepts in a visual and accessible way, establishing a strong foundation for transitioning to more advanced text-based programming languages in the future.
Q: Are lessons group-based or one-on-one?
A: Both options are available. Some students thrive in one-on-one sessions, while others benefit from the group dynamics. The choice is yours!
