About

Hello! I'm James Johnson, a dedicated and enthusiastic coding instructor based in the vibrant community of Halifax, PA. With a passion for technology and education, I primarily focus on introducing children to the world of coding through Scratch, a visual programming language ideal for young learners. I believe in the power of play and interaction to fuel learning, and I strive to make each session with your child both educational and wildly enjoyable.

Teaching Journey

Over the past two years, I've had the privilege of guiding numerous young minds on their journey into coding. My adventure in teaching began as a personal quest to make a positive impact on the world by empowering children with the skills needed for the future. I soon discovered that Scratch was the perfect platform to achieve this goal due to its user-friendly interface and creative potential. Through trial, feedback, and constant improvement, I've developed a teaching style that is both nurturing and challenging. This allows me to help students not only learn coding basics but also to think creatively and solve problems effectively.

Specializations

In my classes, we cover the A to Z of Scratch, starting with the fundamentals. As your child progresses, we delve into more complex concepts like logical reasoning, game design, and animation. I specialize in:

Introductory Scratch for absolute beginners

Game development using Scratch

Creating interactive stories and animations

Advanced Scratch concepts for experienced learners

Personalized learning plans to cater to your child's interests and pace

I stay updated with the latest Scratch updates and teaching methodologies to ensure that your child receives current and comprehensive learning experiences.
