About James Brown:

Hi, I'm James Brown, and my passion is igniting the spark of creativity and problem-solving through coding in young minds. Residing in the vibrant community of Bulverde, TX, for over 3 years, I've dedicated my time to teaching children the exciting world of game development using Scratch and Roblox. My approach is unique – I believe in making learning interactive and fun, transforming the daunting task of coding into an adventure that kids look forward to every session.

Career History:

Over these impactful years, I've taken hundreds of students on a journey from curious beginners to confident creators. My career began as a software developer, where I spent over a decade crafting my skills. The transition to a full-time coding tutor for kids was a leap of faith driven by my desire to share my expertise with the next generation. I've not only educated young minds but also collaborated with local schools to develop coding curriculums that cater to various learning styles.

Expertise:

My specialty lies in tailoring lessons to stimulate interest and engagement in students aged 8-14. Whether it's their first encounter with coding or they're ready to master advanced concepts, I provide a supportive environment for exploration and growth. I take pride in my proficiency with Scratch, a block-based visual programming language designed for beginners, and Roblox, a platform that goes beyond play into the realm of game creation and coding with Lua. Through these platforms, I enable students to grasp the logical flow of programming, develop their storytelling abilities, and ultimately, bring their imaginations to life.
