Experience

I am a classroom computer science teacher with extensive experience teaching middle- and high-school students through hands-on, project-based learning. I specialize in beginner-friendly programming, game development, and visual coding using tools like Python Turtle, game-based projects, and interactive lessons. All resources in this store are teacher-created, classroom-tested, and designed to be easy to implement, engaging for students, and aligned with real-world computer science skills.

Teaching style

My teaching style is hands-on, project-based, and focused on learning by doing. I believe students understand computer science best when they can immediately see the results of their code, so my lessons emphasize visual feedback, experimentation, and creativity. Concepts are introduced in small, scaffolded steps and reinforced through guided practice, mini-projects, and open-ended challenges. My goal is to make programming approachable, engaging, and achievable for all learners—especially beginners.
