Beginner Level
Students will learn to code in Scratch using the programming language's visual learning approach to coding games and cartoon animations. I will be guiding students and teaching them to code using Scratch in a block-based visual programming environment. We will code together step-by-step and learn hands-on how to create games and cartoon animations. Students will use Scratch to explore and apply key computer programming concepts, including event-driven programming, sequence, loops, parallelism, and conditionals. I apply an activity and/or project based teaching style because I think completing assignments and projects is the most fun way to learn. It also gives students a sense of accomplishment. Students will create an online project, which they can continue to work on, make changes and improve.
Learning Goals
We will be coding together to learn how to create games and cartoon animations with Scratch. Students will use the Scratch programming language to learn, explore, and apply key computer programming concepts, including event-driven programming, sequence, loops, parallelism, and conditionals.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have ten years of experience tutoring students online and in-person. I have a M.S. in Computer Science and Masters in Education. I tutor students in various STEM subjects, including Math, Science, Computer Programming and Coding. I teach students ranging in ages from nine to seventeen. I also tutor my two middle school children.
I love teaching and making learning fun and engaging. I like to apply an activity and/or project based teaching style because I think completing hands-on assignments and projects is the most fun way to learn. It also gives students a sense of accomplishment. I’m committed to helping my students reach their full potential, while also enjoying their learning journey. Let’s have fun learning!Reviews
