About James Smith

Hello! I’m James Smith, your enthusiastic and dedicated Scratch coding tutor based in the heart of Cibolo, TX. With a passion for technology and education, I’ve dedicated the last seven years to fostering a love for coding in children of all ages. Through Scratch, I strive to unlock every child's potential for creativity and problem-solving. My mission is to make learning to code an adventure filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

Professional Background

Over the course of my seven-year teaching career, I have honed my skills in delivering complex concepts in fun and digestible ways. My background in computer science and education allows me to create an immersive learning environment where children can thrive in the digital world. My approach to teaching Scratch has been shaped by my observations of how kids learn best—through interactive play, engaging challenges, and consistent encouragement.

Teaching Style

My teaching philosophy is simple—learning should be fun, interactive, and rewarding. I incorporate a variety of coding games and activities into my lessons to ensure that each child is excited to participate and motivated to learn. I believe in a personalized learning experience, where each session is tailored to your child's current abilities and goals. I encourage creativity and critical thinking through hands-on projects, where students can see their code come to life in games and animations they build themselves. My aim is to create a supportive environment that allows students to experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them — the key ingredients to becoming proficient in any skill.

FAQs

Q: What ages do you teach?
A: My classes are suitable for kids starting as young as 7 years old and up to teenagers. I adapt the complexity of the projects according to the child's age and skill level.
Q: Do you provide group classes or one-on-one sessions?
A: Both! I offer one-on-one tutoring for personalized attention and also group sessions where students can collaborate and learn from each other.
Q: How long are the coding sessions?
A: Each coding session typically lasts one hour, which is the perfect amount of time to learn and practice new concepts without overwhelming the student.
Q: Can you help my child with a specific project they have in mind?
A: Absolutely! I love helping students bring their unique ideas to life. If your child has a specific project or goal in mind, we can work together to make it happen.
