About Noah Smith

Hello! I'm Noah Smith, and I am deeply passionate about introducing the fascinating world of coding to young minds. Based in Churchville, PA, my approach to education is making the learning experience as enjoyable and engaging as possible. By focusing on coding through Scratch, I aim to equip kids with not just technical skills but also to help them unlock their creativity and problem-solving abilities. My goal is to make technology approachable and fun for children, setting a strong foundation for any future endeavors they might pursue in the tech world.

Experience

For over six years, I have dedicated my career to teaching coding to kids. My journey began shortly after recognizing the tremendous impact that coding could have on children's intellectual and personal development. I have since been committed to refining my teaching methods, crafting an environment that is both supportive and stimulating. Through this time, my classes have seen countless young students take their first steps into game design and development, many of whom have continued to nurture their newfound skills.

Expertise

My primary expertise lies in Scratch programming, a platform designed specifically to help kids learn to code. I've developed a comprehensive curriculum that covers everything from the basics of programming logic to more advanced concepts such as game mechanics and animation. This curriculum is designed to scale with the child's learning pace and interests, ensuring that each student can progress at a comfortable rate while staying challenged.

FAQs

Q: What age group do you specialize in teaching?
A: While Scratch is accessible for children as young as 7 years old, I primarily teach students aged 8 to 14. This age range is typically when kids start developing an interest in technology and can grasp more complex concepts.
Q: How do you customize your curriculum for each student?
A: Each child’s learning journey is unique. I assess the skill level and interests of each student, then tailor the lessons to keep them engaged and motivated. We set both short-term and long-term goals, ensuring the lessons are always aimed at meeting these objectives.
Q: Do you offer group classes or only one-on-one tutoring?
A: I offer both group classes and one-on-one sessions. Group classes are great for collaboration and team-based projects, while one-on-one sessions allow for deeper personalized attention and mentorship.
Q: What is the length of each tutoring session?
A: Sessions typically run for 1 hour, which I have found to be the optimal duration to keep the students engaged while covering substantial material.
