Professional Background

Over the course of four years, I've had the privilege of introducing the foundation of programming to countless children, helping them to unravel the mysteries of coding in a way that's both intuitive and delightful.

I tailor my Scratch coding classes for kids with a particular emphasis on the creation of engaging games and interactive projects. I believe in a hands-on approach where students learn by doing, which encourages active participation and cements knowledge through real-world application. Classes are structured around a series of challenges that gradually build in complexity, always with the goal of keeping students motivated and excited about their progress. By fostering a supportive and collaborative environment, my students are empowered to take creative risks, work through errors, and celebrate their accomplishments.
