Tutor Profile: Isabella Brown
Hello! I’m Isabella Brown, and my passion lies in merging the thrill of gaming with the educational power of coding. With over 5 years of teaching experience in Scratch and Roblox, I have honed my approach to make learning not just effective but also incredibly fun for kids of all ages. I aim to spark a lasting interest in technology and programming through creative and interactive lessons.
Background:
Based in the vibrant town of South Kingstown, RI, I embarked on the journey of educating young minds after realizing that standard methods of teaching often lacked the element of engagement. I found that by introducing students to game-based platforms like Scratch and Roblox, I could capture their attention and sustain their interest in STEM subjects.
My educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, supplemented by various certifications in educational technologies. Over the years, I've worked with hundreds of students, and each success story drives me to innovate and improve my teaching strategies.
Areas of Expertise:
Scratch Programming: Tailored instructions for beginners to intermediate students eager to learn block-based visual programming, developing their logical thinking while they create their own animations, games, and stories.
Roblox Game Development: Advanced lessons for students ready to take the next step into the world of coding. I guide them through the nuances of Lua scripting in Roblox Studio, enabling them to develop their own games and collaborate with others.
Educational Game Design: Focused on harnessing the power of play in education, I teach students to critically think about game design elements that make learning exciting and memorable.
Q: What ages of children do you teach?
A: I work primarily with kids aged 8 to 16, focusing on introducing younger students to Scratch and guiding older kids through the complexities of Roblox.
Q: Can you help if my child has no prior coding experience?
A: Absolutely! I specialize in starting from the ground up, ensuring that every student grasps the basics before moving on to more challenging projects.
Q: Do you offer group classes or one-on-one sessions?
A: I offer both! Depending on your child’s learning style and preferences, I can provide personalized one-on-one sessions or engaging group classes where students can learn from each other.
Q: How can I track my child's progress?
A: I provide regular progress reports and hold parent-tutor meetings to discuss achievements and areas for improvement. I am firm believer in transparent communication and collaborative goal setting.
