Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a background in computer science and worked as a learning assistant during my undergraduate studies, where I helped students understand programming concepts in a structured and supportive way. While this is my first time teaching Scratch, I’m passionate about making coding fun and accessible for beginners. My approach is patient and engaging, and I’m excited to help students explore the basics of coding in a creative, hands-on way.
