[READY TO HELP YOUR CHILD CODE WITH CONFIDENCE?]
Hi, I’m Ryan James, and I’m really excited to help your child dive into the world of Lua coding in Roblox Studio! 🎮 With over 2 years of experience as an educator, I’ve worked with young learners and teens to make coding fun and engaging. Roblox game design is something I’m passionate about, and I’ve developed courses that teach essential skills while making learning a creative adventure. 🚀
------------------------------------------------------------------
💻[FROM PYTHON TO ROBLOX: MY JOURNEY IN TEACHING CODE]
Before I began teaching Roblox coding, I taught grades one through ten at an online Python school, where I focused on making coding accessible and fun. In 2022, I transitioned to Roblox Studio and Lua, bringing the same core coding concepts into a platform where students are already having fun—Roblox! 🕹️
------------------------------------------------------------------
🎮[WHY ROBLOX? WHY LUA? HERE’S WHY IT WORKS]
I chose Lua because it’s a powerful coding language, and using it in Roblox allows students to learn by building projects in an environment they’re already familiar with. 📚 Unlike other languages, students can create something they’re excited about and keep coming back to tweak and improve, which helps them stay engaged and motivated. ⚡
------------------------------------------------------------------
💻[REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE BACKING UP EVERY LESSON]
In the last two years, I’ve taught Python to kids and teens ages 7 to 16, earning 5-star reviews on Trustpilot for my work. ⭐ With my background as a full-stack software developer, I bring real-world coding experience to my classes, making sure students walk away with practical skills they can apply now and in the future. 💻
------------------------------------------------------------------
🎉[LEARNING DIFFERENCES? I UNDERSTAND, AND I CAN HELP]
As someone who is dyslexic, learning to code was challenging for me, and I understand how overwhelming it can be. What my dyslexia means is that I need to visually understand concepts, which is why I found it much easier to learn through game design. 🎨 I’ve used that experience to create courses that break things down step by step and use visual examples to make complex ideas simple.
In my classes, I explain coding concepts in ways that kids find easy to relate to—like thinking of variables as pizza boxes that hold different toppings, 🍕 or functions as magic words that make things happen. ✨ I focus on helping students master one coding skill in multiple ways before introducing something new, allowing their knowledge to build up naturally without feeling overloaded. 📈
I love working with students who are passionate about creating their own Roblox games but might have struggled with learning from online tutorials. 🎥 If they’ve tried following coding videos but found it difficult to keep up with all the information, my course is designed to make things clear, manageable, and fun. 🎉
------------------------------------------------------------------
🏆[THE FIVE STAGES OF LEARNING TO CODE – MY METHOD]
My courses follow a unique approach that I call the "Five Stages of Learning to Code." Each stage builds on the previous one, guiding students step by step toward becoming confident coders with real-world skills. 🌟
🕹️STAGE ONE: BUILDING THE BASICS
In the first stage, students learn to build game features in isolation. This is where we start with foundational coding skills, allowing kids to create fun games with simple mechanics. At this level, the game features don’t yet interact with each other, but students gain a solid understanding of coding principles. 🔍
🕹️STAGE TWO: CODE THAT DOES THE WORK FOR YOU
Next, we get the code to do the hard work for us. We dive deeper into concepts like loops and start automating repetitive tasks. 🔄 This is where students begin to see the real power of coding, as it becomes faster and more efficient to use code rather than doing things manually. ⚙️
🕹️STAGE THREE: MANAGING DATA LIKE A PRO
In stage three, students learn to manage and package data, such as creating inventory systems like those in Minecraft. 📦 They discover how to store information and use it across different parts of a game, which is a crucial step in building more complex and interactive projects. 🏗️
🕹️STAGE FOUR: MAKING EVERYTHING WORK TOGETHER
This stage separates the hobbyists from the professionals. Here, students learn to manage multiple files and get different pieces of code to work together seamlessly. 🤝 Understanding how to connect various components of a project is key to building larger and more sophisticated games. 🏆
🕹️STAGE FIVE: MASTERING OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
Finally, we tackle object-oriented programming, a concept that all professional software developers and university students use. 👩💻 This stage provides the skills needed to structure code efficiently, making it more reusable and easier to manage. 🧩
My method is designed to give your child a head start in today’s tech-driven world, progressing from basic concepts to advanced techniques in a way that’s both engaging and practical. 🌍
