Professional Background

I began my journey as a Scratch educator after earning a degree in Computer Science with a focus on educational technologies. Since then, I have worked with numerous schools and learning centers in Fort Washington, fostering a love for coding in students of various ages. I am constantly updating my skills and knowledge to ensure that my teaching practices remain current with the evolving landscape of coding education.

Teaching Style

My teaching style is characterized by a playful, yet structured approach. I firmly believe that learning happens best when students are having fun. Therefore, my lessons are filled with interactive coding games and challenges that not only engage my students but also strengthen their critical thinking and logical reasoning skills. I tailor my classes to meet the individual needs of each learner, ensuring that no matter the level your child is at—beginning or advanced—they will receive the personalized guidance needed to advance through the intricacies of Scratch.

I employ a hands-on learning technique that encourages students to learn by doing. This approach helps them retain information effectively and fosters a sense of accomplishment as they see their coding projects come to life. Furthermore, by promoting collaborative work in my classes, students develop their teamwork and communication skills, which are essential in all areas of life.
