About:

Hello! My name is Liam Jones, and I am a dedicated Scratch coding instructor based in Berlin, WI. For over six years, my passion has been to introduce children of all ages to the fascinating world of coding. What makes my classes unique is my focus on fun and interactive learning. I believe that by engaging young minds through the creation of coding games and interesting projects, I can provide them with an invaluable foundation that not only teaches them how to code but also encourages critical thinking and creativity.

Experience:

Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of teaching numerous students in Berlin, with each class tailored to foster an environment where kids feel encouraged to explore and learn. My expertise in Scratch has enabled me to help young learners progress from beginners to advanced creators, as they build their own games and digital projects. With a commitment to keeping up with the latest educational methodologies in coding education, I continuously refine my approach to ensure the best learning outcomes for my students.

Expertise:

As a specialist in Scratch, I am adept at simplifying complex concepts into understandable chunks for kids. My strength lies in developing gamified learning experiences that not only instruct but also inspire. With this approach, I have guided my students to gain proficiency in Scratch, allowing them to create interactive stories, animations, and games of their own design. Additionally, my experience extends to troubleshooting and problem-solving, ensuring that students learn to overcome challenges independently.

FAQs:

Q: What age groups do you teach?

A: My Scratch coding classes are primarily designed for children ages 7 to 14, but I'm flexible and can adjust to the needs of slightly younger or older students as well.

Q: Can you cater to students with different skill levels?

A: Absolutely! Whether your child is a complete beginner or looking to take their existing Scratch skills to the next level, I can tailor my teaching approach to meet their needs.

Q: What can my child expect to achieve by taking your classes?

A: Your child can expect to gain a solid understanding of Scratch, learn how to think logically, systematically, and creatively, and ultimately be capable of designing and programming their own games and projects.

Q: How do I track my child's progress?

A: I provide regular updates on your child's progress, including strengths, areas for improvement, and any projects they've completed. Open communication with parents is key to a child's success, and I'm always available for feedback and discussions.
