My approach centers on making learning not just educational but truly entertaining. By crafting compelling coding games and interactive lessons, my goal is to make your child's coding journey as enjoyable as it is enlightening.

Background

With ten years of experience under my belt, I've honed the art of teaching Scratch to kids of all ages and skill levels. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing the spark of understanding in a student's eyes. My experience has been colored by countless hours spent in developing curricula that resonates with young learners and keeps them engaged from start to finish. With a strong foundation in computer science and childhood education, I bring the perfect blend of expertise and empathy to each class.

My expertise lies in demystifying the complexities of coding and breaking them down into bite-sized, manageable concepts that kids can not only grasp but also enjoy. Whether your child is just stepping into the world of Scratch or is ready to leap into more advanced projects, I'm equipped to facilitate their growth. My classes cover everything from the very basics of programming logic to designing and scripting their own games and interactive stories. Your child's imagination is the limit!

Q: What age group do you primarily teach?

A: I specialize in teaching kids aged 7-14. This range allows me to shape young minds when they're most curious and open to learning.
