Tutor Profile: Mia Jones - Inspiring Young Coders to Create and Learn

About:

Hello, I'm Mia Jones, your enthusiastic guide to the fascinating world of coding! For nearly a decade, I've had the joy of helping young minds in Hayward, WI, discover the creativity and logic that coding unleashes. My teaching philosophy revolves around making learning an adventure, full of discoveries and achievements. I believe that coding is not only a skill but a nurturing ground for problem-solving and critical thinking for kids of all ages.

Background:

With a solid 9 years of teaching experience, my journey began as a mentor in local coding workshops. I quickly realized my passion for igniting a love for technology in children and haven’t looked back since. Over the years, I have developed a rich curriculum that evolves with the ever-changing tech landscape, ensuring that my students are always at the forefront of the coding world. My approach creates a supportive atmosphere where every student feels empowered to take on challenges and express their individual creativity.

Expertise:

I specialize in teaching Scratch and Roblox, platforms that are incredibly effective in introducing programming concepts to children in an engaging and interactive manner. Scratch, with its visual blocks and colorful interface, is perfect for beginners, helping them grasp the basics without the intimidation of complex code. Roblox, on the other hand, offers a more advanced playground where students can build their own games and collaborate with others worldwide. My classes cater to all levels, and I delight in helping students progress from simple animations to their very own intricate game designs.

Q: How do you keep the classes fun and engaging?

A: I incorporate a blend of learning and play where students tackle fun coding challenges, craft personalized projects, and even participate in occasional friendly competitions!
