About:

Hello! My name is Noah Johnson and I am a dedicated Scratch coding instructor located in Warren, RI. With 5 years of experience in teaching Scratch, my passion lies in making learning an enjoyable and enriching experience. My approach to teaching involves interactive learning and integrating playful elements through coding games that not only engage children but also spark their creativity and problem-solving skills. My goal is to empower kids by equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to bring their imaginations to life through coding.

Experience:

Over the last 5 years, I have had the privilege of teaching a diverse group of young learners in Warren. My journey as an educator began shortly after I discovered the transformative power of coding in my own life and decided to share this with the next generation. I have since developed tailored curricula that simplify complex coding concepts, ensuring that children at any level can grasp them, enjoy the process, and build a strong foundation.

Expertise:

My expertise lies in Scratch programming, where I specialize in:

Game Development: Teaching students how to create their own interactive stories, games, and animations.

Project-Based Learning: Facilitating a learning environment where children can work on projects that are both fun and challenging.

Curriculum Design: Crafting lesson plans that are tailored to the learning pace and interests of each child.

Problem-Solving: Encouraging kids to think critically and find creative solutions during the coding process.

FAQs:

Q1: What is the suitable age group for your Scratch coding classes?

A1: My classes are ideal for children aged 7 to 14 who are either beginners or have some basic understanding of Scratch.

Q2: How can Scratch coding benefit my child?

A2: Scratch coding helps develop logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity. It's a great way for children to learn the principles of programming in a visually engaging and intuitive way.

Q3: Do you offer group sessions or one-on-one tutoring?

A3: I offer both options. Group sessions are great for collaborative learning, while one-on-one tutoring provides personalized attention and a custom learning plan.
