About Lucas Johnson

Hello, I’m Lucas Johnson, your friendly neighborhood Scratch instructor based in Bluffdale, UT. My passion for technology and teaching has culminated in 4 wonderful years of guiding young minds through the exciting world of coding. Using Scratch, an intuitive and child-friendly programming language, I've dedicated my practice to making sure that learning is not just educational but also incredibly fun.

I believe that every child has the potential to become a creator rather than just a consumer of technology. Through my classes, I strive to unlock that potential, one sprite and block of code at a time. I'm proud to have garnered 41 reviews from parents and students alike, resulting in an average rating of 4.6 stars. This feedback is a testament to my commitment to excellence in coding education for kids.

Experience

Over the last 4 years, I've watched my students flourish in their problem-solving abilities and creativity as they've navigated through the world of programming with Scratch. By transforming abstract coding concepts into interactive and engaging coding games and projects, I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact this has on young learners. My experience extends to students of various skill levels, from those just starting their coding journey to those ready to tackle more advanced projects and concepts.

Teaching Approach

My teaching approach is simple: make it fun, make it interactive, and make it memorable. I balance structure with the freedom to explore, understanding that each child learns differently. Patience and personalization are at the core of my methodology, as I believe in adapting to the unique learning pace and style of each student.

Lessons are designed to progressively build up from the basics of Scratch to more complex programming functions. Along the way, I incorporate plenty of games and challenges to keep things lively. Also, I encourage sharing and presenting, which builds confidence and communication skills in my young coders.
