Experiencia de clase

This course teaches absolute beginner students the three most basic concepts of Java Programming: 
- standard output
- variables and
- standard input.
Since even setting up a Java coding environment requires a lot of advanced knowledge and understanding, I will skip the set-up part (as most IDEs do it for you anyway), and jump right into coding.

My class can be seen as broken into three main sections: 
- The first section will be the actual teaching of the new concepts, 
- The second section will give the students the opportunity to apply this new information to simple projects we will work on together as a class.
- And finally, there will be a bit of time near the end of class for students to work on a short but very fun individual project, with assistance from me as needed.
Though this is quite a bit packed into one and a half hours, I will give lots of room for the students to ask questions, interact with each other and so on! Programming is a skill that is best learnt by doing, but I also spend a lot of time making sure the students fully grasp what each of the concepts mean because I believe understanding is just as important.

Again, please note that this course is aimed at beginners. The concepts covered will be pretty unfamiliar to students who've taken courses like Blockly or Scratch before, but this class may be a bit boring for people who can already code in similar languages like Python, C or C++. 
In addition, please also note that Java is the most popular programming languages in the industry and thus is a bit more complicated than the likes of Python. The three concepts this course covers, though simple, are applied very specifically and may be a bit too much for your nine year old to handle. I expect mostly middle school aged students to enroll. Thank you!

Metas de aprendizaje

The end goal of this course is for students to be able to make Mad Libs game on their own. 
The class specifically will teach them the three concepts they need to be able to do this, and they will be expected to apply these three concepts to their Mad Libs game largely by themselves, although I'll of course be there to help them if they run into any trouble.

Hi, I'm Maryfrances!
Thank you so much for considering me to be your (or your child's) instructor today!

I have been a tutor/instructor for five years now, and I am excited to share my knowledge and passions with students who are excited to learn.

I have a degree in Computer Science, which I have been studying for nearly a decade now. It is a unique, new, yet quickly-growing field that manages to combine math and science with the creativity of the Arts, and enables our societies to progress at speeds never before seen in all of human history. Knowing just a little bit of how computers work can get you very ahead in life. I'm here to teach Java and Python, two of the most widely used programming languages today, as well as useful skills such as Web Design to equip my students with the skills they need to go on to become brilliant Computer Scientists.

Not only do I speak the language of computers, but I can also communicate quite well with humans: years of studying Japanese and a minor degree in the subject has succeeded in bringing me to conversational fluency. Japanese is classified as one of the hardest languages for English speakers to learn, but I'm here to say that you can go from awkwardly saying "konnichiwa" to being able to read こんにちは and being able to understand the two meanings of 今日は with just a little hard work. 


My teaching philosophy focuses on understanding. Too many times have I seen students simply memorize and regurgitate information they have been taught. I prefer to break difficult concepts into digestible chunks so that my students can learn and retain as much as they possibly can.

I hope to see you in one of my classes!
