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

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
