ABOUT JAMES SMITH

Hello parents and young coders! I'm James, your enthusiastic and dedicated Scratch coding tutor. I'm on a mission to make learning not just effective but extraordinarily fun! Over the past decade, I've had the joy of teaching in the picturesque town of Evanston, WY, where I've guided budding programmers through the fascinating world of coding. My philosophy is simple: Every child has the potential to become a great thinker and creator through the power of code.

BACKGROUND

My journey in computer science began at a young university, where I was captivated by the potential of programming to bring ideas to life. After obtaining my degree, I realized my passion for sharing this knowledge with the younger generation. 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.

EXPERTISE

I specialize in crafting personalized learning experiences that cater to the unique interests and learning paces of each student. From intuitive first steps for beginners to advanced game design and project development for seasoned young coders, my toolkit is brimming with resources and tricks to keep each session exciting.

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

FAQs

Q: What ages do you teach?
A: I work primarily with children aged 7 to 14, tailoring the curriculum to their specific age group and learning capacity.
Q: What can my child expect to achieve through your classes?
A: Your child will gain a solid grounding in Scratch and learn to think like a programmer, developing both their technical skills and their ability to solve problems creatively. Plus, they'll have a portfolio of their projects to show for their hard work!
Q: How do you keep the classes engaging?
A: Aside from crafting custom games, I incorporate storytelling, challenges, and regular show-and-tell sessions where kids can proudly present their projects to peers and receive constructive feedback.
