About

Hello! I’m Olivia Jones, a passionate coding instructor headquartered in the vibrant community of Oak Ridge, TN. My love for technology and teaching has driven me to become a dedicated tutor, focusing on introducing the thrilling world of coding to children through Scratch and Roblox. My objective is not just to impart technical skills, but to ensure that every learning experience is packed with fun and creativity. I believe that the best way for kids to learn and retain information is by doing, and there is no better 'doing' than creating their very own video games and interactive projects.

Experience

With six fruitful years of teaching experience under my belt, I have honed the craft of communicating complex concepts in a manner that is easily digestible for young minds. I have worked with a diverse range of students, helping beginners take their first steps in the world of programming, and guiding more advanced learners to refine their skills and create sophisticated projects in Scratch and Roblox. My experience has equipped me with the expertise necessary to tailor my approach to each individual learner, ensuring that each session is as effective and enjoyable as possible.

Expertise

Scratch: Scratch is a wonderful starting point for kids entering the world of coding. I specialize in helping students grasp the basics of programming logic, develop problem-solving skills, and express their creativity through Scratch's intuitive block-based coding platform.

Roblox: For students with a keen interest in game design and looking to take a step further, Roblox offers a platform to build and share immersive multi-player games. I guide learners through the process of game creation using Roblox Studio and scripting with Lua, fostering an environment where they can innovate and grow.

FAQs

Q: What ages do you teach?

A: I specialize in teaching children, typically those between the ages of 7 to 14. However, I'm open to working with any eager learner interested in Scratch or Roblox!

Q: What is your teaching methodology?

A: My approach is all about learning by creating. Each lesson is structured to include a balance of instruction and hands-on practice, allowing students to apply what they've learned immediately by working on their own projects. I also emphasize the element of play, as I believe gaming and coding go hand-in-hand in maintaining a captivating educational experience.

Q: How do I know if my child is progressing?

A: I provide regular updates and feedback on your child’s projects and understanding. Additionally, you're welcome to observe their increasing ability to think logically, solve problems, and create increasingly complex projects as a clear indicator of their progression.

Q: Do I need to provide any software or equipment?

A: All you'll need is a computer with internet access. Scratch is browser-based, and Roblox Studio is a free download. I will guide you through any setup needed.
