Class Experience

Dr.Elliott Heflin, Jr states, in this class he will cover the basic foundation of Python coding language. Python is one of the most popular coding language to date. He loves to use humor in my teaching style to make complex concept clear. As a learner no prior experience will be needed.
Python is widely used in various business sectors, such as programming, web development, machine learning, and data science. Given its widespread use, it is no surprising that Python has surpassed Java as the top programming language. In this class, I will be incorporating a student centered learning approach. Please, remember our world is becoming more and more digitized daily.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello parents and learners, my name is Dr. Elliott Heflin, Jr. 

I have committed myself to education for these two top reasons. 
1. I wanted to create an environment that allow student to excel pass the expectation our todays public educational system.

2. I wanted them (the students) to know with hard work, any level of education is possible.

It is my mission to educate as many children as I can. I have an extensive background in STEM. I am a STEM Coach for NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers), A First Robotics Coach and STEM Educator online and off-line. 

In addition, I have earned an undergraduate degree in Industrial Technology/Computer Technology along with an MS in Technology Education and Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership/Educational Technology. I also hold a G.A.C.E certification in Engineering/Technology (Georgia certified educator). It is my personal mission to show each learner, that technology is not that difficult. 

Are you a parent that believe that your scholar is not being challenge enough by the current status quo? Join me today and help me change that narrative.
