Beginner Level
Computer Science & AI for Kids is an introductory computer science class that empowers students to engage with computer science as a medium for creativity, communication, problem solving, and fun. We will learn about various Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence topics in class, including Interactive Animations & Games, Coding and Playing Games, Problem Solving and Computing, Web Development, AI and Machine Learning. I like to apply the activity method as it is an ideal teaching style for STEM subjects. I provide guidance to learners, encouraging independent thought and self-learning through hands-on computer science games, video clips, fun activities, and discussions. I find this teaching style is ideal for learning STEM subjects.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about computer science and AI by covering topics such as computer programming, artificial intelligence, web development, design, and data.

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
