Introduction to Programming and Computer Science Fundamentals

From 20 C$ /h

I'm offering these courses because I'd like to get some hands-on experience tutoring Computer Science Fundamentals. I'm an experienced educator with a Masters from Columbia University Teachers College and extensive tutoring experience from Geometry to SAT Math. I create instructional materials for companies in New York City and provide private tutoring for clients.

Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

Robotics classes focused on building and programming the official First Lego League robot.
Aimed at all levels: from those who want to learn to program and design from scratch, to those who want to strengthen and expand their knowledge.

I have several years of experience in this competition and in building and programming robots, as well as one year of experience teaching specialized robotics classes for children.
My goal is to pass on the passion that motivated me to inspire other students. I'm currently a computer engineering student.

This class should help students learn how to write programs and, more importantly, how to think while programming.

It covers core ideas such as variables, conditions, loops, functions, and debugging, with explanations adjusted to the student’s level and chosen language.

The class welcomes all levels, from first-time programmers to students who want help with assignments or a deeper understanding. Students can request specific languages or topics, and lessons can follow school or university curricula.
