Hello! I'm Mia Johnson, your enthusiastic and dedicated Scratch coding instructor from the serene town of Sturgeon Bay, WI. With a playful heart and a mind for logic, I believe that every child has the potential to become a creator in the digital world. Through Scratch, I offer a journey into the mesmerizing realm of coding, where imagination crafts the path and logic brings ideas to life. I am deeply passionate about teaching young minds how to think critically and solve problems while having an absolute blast!
Experience:
Over the past five years, I have been nurturing young talents and turning curious minds into confident creators. My teaching expedition began shortly after obtaining my degree in Computer Science, when I discovered the joy and importance of teaching coding to the next generation. Since then, I have taught over 200 students ranging from complete beginners to those looking to refine their coding prowess. My classrooms — whether physical or virtual — have always buzzed with creativity and innovation.
Key Strengths:
Engaging Teaching Style: I believe learning should be an adventure and not a chore. My classes are infused with excitement and hands-on challenges to keep my students eager for more.
Curriculum Design: Tailored learning experiences are my forte. Whether your child is a nascent coder or a blossoming game designer, I craft lessons to fit their unique learning pace and interests.
Patience and Encouragement: Every student is like a unique puzzle, and I am patient and determined in helping them fit their pieces together, providing encouragement every step of the way.
Communication: I maintain an open line of communication with parents, sharing regular updates on their child's progress and offering strategies for continued growth at home.
Q: What age groups do you teach?
A: I teach children ages 7 to 14. My classes are segmented to cater to different age groups and skill levels.
Q: How do you track and report a child's progress?
A: I use a blend of milestone check-ins, project-based assessments, and regular communication with parents to track and report progress.
Q: Do you offer group sessions or one-on-one classes?
A: I offer both! Depending on your child’s learning style and your preference, you can opt for personalized one-on-one sessions or interactive group classes where students can learn from each other’s projects.
Q: What if my child has never coded before?
A: No problem at all! I specialize in introducing new learners to the world of coding in an easy-going and fun manner. We start with the basics and steadily climb up!
