About Olivia Johnson

Hello, young learners and parents! I am Olivia Johnson, a passionate coding educator from the charming town of Pittston, PA. I bring a rainbow of creativity and a passionate heart to the art of teaching kids the joy of coding. With a whimsical approach to learning, I am dedicated to unveiling the wonders of Scratch and Roblox for young minds. My ultimate goal is to ignite a lasting love for coding in my students and to guide them to become young creators in the digital world.

Background

My journey as a tutor began 4 years ago when I noticed a gap in engaging and accessible coding education for children. I saw coding as not just a skillset but a means of expression, much like art or music. Since then, I have been working hard to make coding classes not just educational but excitingly fun! My philosophy is to create a learn-through-play environment that fosters both critical thinking and imaginative exploration.

Expertise

I specialize in two of the most interactive and educational platforms for learning code:

Scratch: A visual programming language that brings the basics of coding to life. I guide my students through crafting their own animations, games, and interactive stories, helping them understand the fundamentals of logical thinking and problem-solving.

Roblox: An advanced platform for the more daring and creative. I mentor students to create their worlds, design their games, and even learn about the entrepreneurial aspect of sharing their creations with the Roblox community.

As an experienced tutor, I have the ability to tailor my approach to fit the unique learning style of each student, ensuring everyone can progress at their own pace.

FAQs

Q: What ages do you teach?

A: I primarily focus on kids aged 7 to 14, but I'm more than happy to discuss the suitability for slightly younger or older budding coders!

Q: How are your lessons structured?

A: Each lesson is 60 minutes, filled with hands-on coding activities, game design insights, and plenty of fun challenges. I balance structured learning with open-ended projects to keep things fresh and exciting.

Q: Do you offer group classes or one-on-one sessions?

A: I offer both! Group classes foster teamwork and idea sharing, while one-on-one sessions allow for personalized attention and customized learning paths.

Q: Is prior coding experience required?

A: Not at all! I welcome beginners and work with them to build a strong foundation, while also providing advanced challenges for more experienced students.
