For 10 years now, I have been teaching Scratch, the visually engaging and student-friendly programming language that makes coding approachable and enjoyable for kids. As an educator, I've seen firsthand how coding fosters critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

My expertise lies in:
Introduction to Scratch coding for beginners
Advanced game development and coding concepts for experienced learners
Creating custom coding games that captivate and educate simultaneously
Keeping up-to-date with the latest Scratch updates and teaching methodologies
