Class Experience

Beginner Level
Learn to Code with Star Wars is a class where learners will get an introductory experience with coding and computer science in a fun  block-based visual programming environment. Students will build a Star Wars game using a block-based visual programming environment. Students will learn and apply key computer programming concepts, including event-driven programming, sequence, loops, parallelism, and conditionals. 

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 and apply key computer programming concepts, including event-driven programming, sequence, loops, parallelism, and conditionals.

Profile
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!
