I am an experienced coding teacher specializing in introducing young children to computer science through visual programming tools like ScratchJr and Scratch.
As a teacher at an international online school (Popskool), I have helped hundreds of young learners build their first games, stories, and animations.
With years of experience working with ages 5–10 across the USA, UK, UAE, and India, I use creative, simple explanations and lots of hands-on practice to make sure kids feel proud and excited about coding!
