Tutor Location
Hello there! I'm Liam Jones, your friendly neighborhood coding tutor from Butler, PA. With over half a decade of experience in teaching Scratch and Roblox, my goal has always been to transform learning into an adventure. Coding isn't just about understanding complex algorithms or writing endless lines of code; it's a playground for the imagination. I believe that every child has the potential to become a creator, and it is my joy to help them unlock that potential in the most enjoyable way possible.
Background
My journey as a tutor began 6 years ago when I noticed a gap in engaging, practical coding education for kids. I have always been someone who believes in the power of play in learning. I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a deep-seated love for gaming and interactive media. This combination sparked a commitment to equip the younger generation with the skills they need to thrive in a digital world.
Over the years, I have developed a curriculum that doesn't just teach kids to code but also to think like problem solvers and storytellers. I'm proud to say that helping kids create their games and projects using Scratch and Roblox has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional life.
Expertise
My expertise lies in crafting an educational experience that is both informative and captivating. I specialize in:
Introducing beginners to the fundamentals of coding through Scratch.
Guiding more advanced students through the complexities of Roblox development.
Creating custom-tailored lessons that cater to the individual learning style of each student.
Incorporating logical reasoning, mathematics, and story development into our coding projects.
Keeping lessons up-to-date with the latest educational technologies and gaming trends.
What ages do you teach?
I work with kids of all ages, from those taking their initial steps into the world of coding to teens looking to refine their game development skills.
What makes your teaching style unique?
I foster a relaxed, game-based environment where mistakes are stepping stones to learning. It's about encouraging exploration and creativity.
Do you offer group classes or one-on-one sessions?
I offer both! Group sessions make for great collaborative learning, while one-on-one classes are tailored to your child's pace and interests.
How can I track my child’s progress?
I provide regular updates and showcase the projects your child works on so you can visually see their progress and creations.
