About Sophia Smith

Hello! I'm Sophia, a passionate educator and coding enthusiast from West Bend, WI. My journey into tech education began 6 years ago with a mission to empower young minds through coding. I have dedicated my career to helping kids see the joy in learning, specifically through Scratch and Roblox, two platforms perfect for introducing the concepts of programming.

I believe that learning should be joyous and accessible, and I strive to create a supportive environment where my students can embrace their creativity and curiosity. With my classes, kids don't just learn to code—they also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will help them in every aspect of life.

Skills and Expertise

Being well-versed in Scratch, I guide learners through the basics of coding to constructing their interactive stories, games, and animations. My expertise with Roblox extends to helping students create their own worlds and games, using Lua scripting language, which provides a more challenging yet thrilling learning experience.

Scratch: Understanding of block-based coding principles, game design, storytelling, and animation.

Roblox: Experience in Roblox Studio, game design, Lua scripting, and online safety practices.

Teaching: Strong communication skills, patience, and a personalized approach to meet each student's unique learning needs.

Engagement: Ability to create engaging coding challenges and games to stimulate learning and retention.

FAQs

Q: At what age can my child start learning with you?

A: I welcome students as young as 7 years old to start with Scratch, as it's designed for young beginners. For Roblox, I recommend starting at ages 10+, as it involves a slightly more complex set of skills.

Q: How are your classes structured?

A: My classes are typically divided into a short theory portion, followed by hands-on projects. I emphasize learning by doing and ensure each lesson includes a project that reinforces the concepts discussed.

Q: Do you offer group or private sessions?

A: Both! I offer one-on-one sessions for personalized learning, as well as group sessions that foster collaboration and peer learning.

Q: What safety measures do you have in place for online learning?
