About Olivia Smith

Welcome to my tutoring profile! I am Olivia Smith, a dedicated and passionate coding instructor based in Tooele, UT, with a particular penchant for teaching Scratch and Roblox. For the past 9 years, I have focused on turning coding into a thrilling adventure for kids. My mission is to provide an educational yet entertaining experience that not only teaches the fundamentals of coding but also inspires creativity and a love for technology.

Skills and Expertise

I specialize in leveraging the interactive, block-based programming environment of Scratch, which is designed specifically for children, to introduce them to the world of coding. By guiding young learners through this intuitive platform, I lay a solid foundation in computational thinking, problem-solving, and logic skills.

Transitioning from Scratch, I also offer tutoring services in Roblox, where students can elevate their coding expertise to design and build their own games. My robust understanding of Roblox Studio enables me to teach everything from basic game development principles to more advanced scripting with Lua, the programming language used in Roblox.

As an expert in these educational platforms, I have honed my skills in:

Breakdown complex coding concepts into digestible lessons for children

Fostering a creative learning environment that encourages students to think outside the box

Cultivating patience and understanding, adapting to each child's unique learning speed and interests

Clear communication of objectives and outcomes, ensuring that both parents and children are aware of the progress being made
