Tutor Location
Hello! I’m Lucas Smith, your passionate and dedicated coding tutor, based in the vibrant community of Gladwyne, PA. With a penchant for bringing fun into education, I specialize in teaching Scratch and Roblox to children of varying ages and skill levels. My goal is not only to enhance your child’s programming skills but also to ignite their imagination and love for technology through playful learning and game creation.
Experience:
For the past six years, I have been immersing youngsters in the world of coding. My journey commenced within local schools and expanded to private tutoring sessions where I’ve continuously evolved my methods to cater to individual learning styles. My experience has enabled me to design, iterate, and deliver a curriculum that not only teaches coding fundamentals but also equips students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills applicable beyond the digital realm.
Expertise:
I specialize in:
Scratch: Where beginners can delve into the world of drag-and-drop programming, creating interactive stories, games, and animations.
Roblox: For the more advanced or adventurous, where one can learn to design, script, and launch their own games in a fun and safe multiplayer environment.
Game-Based Learning: By integrating educational content into games, I ensure that lessons are engaging and contribute to improved retention of programming concepts.
Q1: What is the appropriate age range for your coding classes?
A: I welcome students as young as 7 years old to those up to 14, tailoring my approach to suit their cognitive stages and interests.
Q2: How do you individualize learning for different students?
A: I conduct initial assessments to understand their familiarity and comfort with coding. This allows me to customize lesson plans that can cater to each student’s pace and curiosity level.
Q3: Are your classes group sessions or one-on-one?
A: I offer both group sessions for a collaborative learning experience and one-on-one tutoring for personalized attention, depending on your child's needs and preferences.
