Professional Background

My journey began 10 years ago, driven by the desire to blend my love for technology with education. Over these years, I've developed a deep understanding of how to communicate complex coding concepts to kids in ways that are not just comprehensible but also immensely enjoyable.

My teaching philosophy revolves around the concept of 'fun learning'. I employ game-based learning techniques that not only entertain but also educate. Each lesson is designed to challenge students while providing them with a supportive environment to experiment and learn from their mistakes. With Scratch and Roblox, I guide students through the fundamentals of coding, from simple commands to the logic behind game development and the basics of artificial intelligence. I adapt to each child's learning pace and style, emphasizing hands-on experience and collaborative projects which encourage peer learning and teamwork.
