About Mia Williams

Hello! I'm Mia, and I believe that the digital world is a playground for creativity and learning. Born and raised in Boardman, Oregon, I'm passionate about inspiring the next generation of innovators and thinkers. For the past 7 years, I've dedicated my life to teaching children how to code, particularly through Scratch, a platform that makes coding accessible and exciting for kids. I hold a Bachelor's in Computer Science and a Master's in Education, a combination that equips me well for fostering both technical skill and critical thinking in young minds.

Skills

Child-Centered Instruction: Each lesson is tailored to suit the individual learning style and pace of my students.

Project-Based Learning: Students create real-life projects that give context to the coding concepts they learn.

Creative Problem-Solving: I encourage students to experiment and find unique solutions to challenges.

Patience and Encouragement: My teaching is grounded in the belief that support and understanding foster student success.

Tech Savvy: Continual updating of my skills to include the latest in educational technology and coding trends.

Expertise

Beginner to Advanced Scratch Programming: From the basics of drag-and-drop code blocks to more intricate game design and logic.

Interactive Coding Games: I specialize in creating and teaching how to make games that not only entertain but also teach valuable coding concepts.

STEM Education: Committed to promoting STEM fields by integrating science, technology, engineering, and math into coding lessons.

Online and In-Person Teaching: Proficient in utilizing both traditional classroom settings and modern online platforms for remote learning.

FAQs

Q: At what age can my child start learning Scratch with you?
A: I accept students as young as 7 years old since Scratch is designed to be kid-friendly and intuitive.

A: I offer both options. One-on-one sessions are great for personalized attention, while group classes foster teamwork and collaborative problem-solving.
Q: How often do you recommend classes?
A: I suggest one to two sessions a week to maintain a steady learning progression without overwhelming your child.
Q: What do we need to get started?
