Tutor Profile: Sophia Jones – Your Kids' Gateway to the World of Coding through Scratch

About

Welcome to the vibrant world of Scratch coding, where I, Sophia Jones, transform the daunting concept of programming into a fascinating journey for kids! With an unwavering passion for technology and teaching, I have dedicated the past 8 years to educating young minds in the charming town of Smithfield, RI. I believe in making learning an adventure filled with joy and discovery, particularly when it comes to the creative potential that coding unlocks.

Background

My digital odyssey began as a computer science enthusiast, where I swiftly recognized the magic in sharing my knowledge with others. Over the years, my classroom has evolved into an interactive playground where children don't just learn to code; they narrate stories, build games, and express their individuality through the colorful blocks of Scratch. It’s not just about teaching coding - it’s about nurturing problem solvers, innovators, and thinkers of tomorrow.

Advanced project guidance to help kids create intricate, fully-realized games and animations.

A Library of Fun: With a trove of coding games and challenges, I ensure every lesson is packed with laughter and "Eureka!" moments.

Continuous Learning Journey: My method involves iterative learning where children build on what they've mastered, turning complicated concepts into simple, tangible achievements.
