Tutor Location
Hello! I’m Isabella Smith, and I have a passion for igniting the spark of creativity and logic in young minds through coding. Living in the picturesque town of Maryville, TN, I have dedicated the last 8 years to teaching Scratch programming to children of various ages. Scratch is a wonderful, visual programming language that enables kids to create interactive stories, games, and animations, all while learning foundational coding concepts.
My mission is simple: make learning to code an adventure filled with joy and discovery. I believe that every child has the potential to become a great coder, and my role is to support them on this exciting journey.
Professional Background
Over the course of 8 years, I've had the pleasure of guiding numerous kids through the vibrant world of Scratch. My experience isn't just rooted in teaching—it's in fostering a conducive environment for learning. I hold a degree in Computer Science and a teaching certification, which enables me to blend educational best practices with technical expertise.
I've co-created curriculums for local coding camps, collaborated with schools to integrate coding into their syllabus, and have consistently updated my methods to align with the advancements in educational technology. With 37 glowing reviews and an average rating of 4.5 stars, my track record speaks for itself—I'm one of the most trusted and successful Scratch tutors in Maryville.
Teaching Style
My approach to teaching Scratch is dynamic, interactive, and tailored to each child's learning pace. Classes are structured to ensure a balance between theory and hands-on practice. Every session is packed with fun coding exercises that emphasize creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
I employ a game-based learning methodology where students not only play games but also learn to build them. This keeps the classes exciting and engaging. I adapt to each student's interests, so if your child dreams of creating their own space adventure or designing a fashion runway show, I'm here to help make that dream a coding reality.

Children aged 7 and up, whether beginners who are just starting or those looking to deepen their knowledge and skills in Scratch.
How are the classes scheduled?
Classes can be scheduled flexibly as per your child's routine, with options for after-school or weekend sessions.
What will my child need to attend your classes?
Just a computer with internet access, a Scratch account (which is free), and a readiness to learn and have fun!
Are your classes one-on-one or group sessions?
I offer both one-on-one and small group sessions, depending on your preference and your child's comfort level.
