About Liam Smith

Welcome! I’m Liam Smith, a devoted and enthusiastic coding instructor based in Pleasant Prairie, WI. My passion for technology and education has driven me to specialize in teaching Scratch programming to young minds eager to dive into the world of coding. My approach to teaching is rooted in the belief that learning should be an enjoyable and dynamic experience. By incorporating fun into each lesson, I ensure that my students remain engaged and look forward to each session with excitement and curiosity.

Teaching Journey

Over the past four years, I have dedicated myself to mentoring children in the realm of digital creation. My journey as a Scratch tutor began after recognizing a gap in practical, hands-on coding experiences for kids. I decided to leverage my knowledge to inspire and educate, helping children to not just consume digital content, but to become creators themselves. Through my classes, I've been privileged to witness the transformation of countless students from novices to confident young programmers, capable of crafting their own games and projects.

Specializations

My teaching repertoire focuses on Scratch, an accessible and intuitive programming language designed specifically for a younger audience. I specialize in:

Introducing the foundational concepts of coding to beginners in an easily digestible format.

Guiding intermediate learners through more complex logic and game mechanics.

Empowering advanced students to innovate and develop unique projects that challenge their skills.

Creating a diverse array of coding games and exercises that reinforce learning objectives while keeping the fun alive.

In every lesson, I aim to instill critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative design skills that are not just applicable to programming, but invaluable in any future endeavor.
