Teacher expertise and credentials
I have taught a unit on Scratch for the last 3 years every semester and my students always LOVE it. I am able to teach it to the students in such a fun way that they are challenged but not stressed! Whether your student is a natural with computers, or doesn't have much experience, they will be challenged and learn. Reviews
