My Teaching Philosophy

By creating games, kids can learn an abundance of skills that open their futures to new possibilities.

 

Coding, problem-solving, design, and math are all learned by coding. I teach so that kids will understand for themselves, rather than simply follow instructions.

 

Kids can get creative by imagining their own game ideas, drawing assets for their games on pen tablets, and imagining their own stories.

 

In team classes, students learn teamwork and communication to create one great project that shows all of their skills. 

 

Lastly, skills that I am proud to help nurture in kids is their personal virtues like patience, discipline, kindness, and bravery. I've had 5 great years of teaching so far and I'm looking forward to more!
