Tutor Location
Welcome to the dynamic world of coding for kids, led by the passionate and spirited educator Lucas Jones! With a decade of experience in teaching Scratch in the scenic town of Minocqua, WI, my journey has been fueled by a fervent goal: to transform coding into an exhilarating adventure for young minds. My unwavering dedication lies in tailoring each session to ensure it's not just educational but also fantastically entertaining.
Professional Experience
Throughout my ten prolific years as a coding tutor, I've navigated the ever-evolving landscape of digital education with a blend of creativity and expertise. I've honed my ability to break down complex concepts into bite-sized, manageable pieces, making the learning process accessible and enjoyable for children of various age groups and skill levels. Having fostered a learning environment that values curiosity and hands-on experience, I take pride in being a facilitator of innovation and critical thinking.
Key Expertise
As a seasoned educator specializing in Scratch, my key expertise lies in designing interactive and engaging coding games that capture children's imaginations. My ability to craft individualized learning plans means that each child's journey is as unique as their potential. Under my guidance, students explore the depths of their creativity, creating original games and projects that not only teach the principles of coding but empower them with problem-solving skills and a solid foundation in computational thinking.
What ages do you teach?
I teach a wide array of students, typically ranging from 7 to 14 years old. No matter the starting point, I'm equipped to guide each pupil through the captivating world of Scratch.
How do you tailor your classes to different skill levels?
I assess the ability of each student and create customized lesson plans that build on their strengths while addressing areas for improvement. This ensures every child progresses at a comfortable pace and stays constantly challenged and engaged.
What can my child expect to learn?
Your child will learn the fundamentals of coding, including logic, sequences, loops, and event handling. They'll apply these principles in creating their own games and projects, culminating in a well-rounded understanding of how to navigate and innovate within Scratch's visual programming interface.
Are the classes one-on-one or in a group setting?
I offer both individual lessons for personalized attention and group sessions to foster collaborative learning. Group sessions also provide a great opportunity for kids to share ideas and learn from one another.
