About Liam Williams

Hello! I'm Liam, your go-to tutor for all things Scratch coding located right here in Jim Thorpe, PA. With a passion for coding and making learning an enjoyable experience, I specialize in teaching young minds the joy and creativity of coding through Scratch. For over nine years, I have dedicated myself to cultivating an interactive learning environment where kids can harness their innate curiosity to build, learn, and grow.

Experience

Over the last nine years, I've developed a curriculum that infuses fun with education, emphasizing hands-on learning through coding games and creative projects. My journey began in a local tech camp where I taught coding basics to children. Witnessing their eyes light up as they brought their first sprites to life solidified my commitment to this craft. Since then, I've honed my methods to ensure each child not only understands the fundamentals of Scratch but also develops problem-solving skills and a growth mindset.

Strengths

Tailored Teaching Approach: Regardless of whether your child is a novice or looking to polish their skills, my approach adapts to meet their individual learning pace and style.

Strong Communication: I believe that clear, positive communication is key to effective learning. You'll always know what your child is working on and how they are progressing.

Creativity Booster: My lessons are designed to inspire creativity, helping kids to think outside the box and develop unique coding projects.
