About:

Hello there! I'm Mason Jones, a passionate coding instructor from Berwyn, PA, with a zest for igniting creativity and problem-solving skills in kids through coding. Over the last 6 years, I've dedicated myself to teaching the fundamentals of programming using Scratch, a beginner-friendly platform that makes learning to code an absolute joy. My goal is to nurture the next generation of tech enthusiasts, helping your children grow from curious learners to skilled creators, one block of code at a time.

Teaching Journey:

My journey as a coding tutor began as a personal quest to make a meaningful contribution to the way kids engage with technology. I was fascinated by the idea of turning consumers of technology into makers. Starting with small local workshops, I refined my teaching methods to prioritize fun while learning. It wasn't long before I saw incredible results – children weren't just coding; they were enjoying the process of bringing their imaginations to life. Over the years, I've had the privilege of witnessing numerous 'light bulb' moments where students grasp a complex concept and apply it with confidence.

Specializations:

My specialty lies in crafting custom-tailored coding classes that cater to the unique interests and learning paces of each child. I've designed a range of engaging coding games that not only entertain but also embed crucial programming concepts in young minds. The specialties I offer include:

Introductory Scratch Classes for Beginners: Perfect for children with little to no coding experience.

Advanced Scratch Projects: For kids ready to take their skills to the next level.

Game Development with Scratch: Where students learn to create interactive games they can play and share.

Problem-Solving Workshops: Enhancing critical thinking and logic through code challenges.

FAQs:

Q1: What age groups do you teach?

A1: I mostly work with children aged 7 to 14, but I'm open to discussing classes for different ages.

Q2: How do you cater to children at different skill levels?

A2: I assess each child's current knowledge and interests, then adapt my curriculum to ensure they remain engaged and challenged.

Q3: What does a typical coding class with you involve?
