About Mia

I discovered coding during a free online Python workshop I took for fun in my sophomore year of college — and within a week I had built my first small project and was completely obsessed. Since then I have completed self-paced professional certifications in Python Programming (Coursera — University of Michigan, 2020), Front-End Web Development with HTML, CSS & JavaScript (freeCodeCamp, 2021), and Introduction to Machine Learning with Python (edX — MIT, 2023). I also completed a college elective in Introduction to Computer Science that covered Java and data structures. Over the past 4 years of programming tutoring, I have worked with over 35 students ranging from 8-year-old Scratch beginners to college first-year students struggling through their intro CS courses. One of my favorite student moments came in 2022 when a 12-year-old student I had been teaching for three months built a fully working quiz game in Python entirely on her own between sessions — she called me so excited she could barely talk. In 2023, I helped a college freshman pass his introductory Java course after he had failed the midterm — we met twice a week for six weeks and he ended the semester with a C+, which felt like a victory we both celebrated. I approach every coding session with curiosity and zero judgment — there are no dumb questions in my class, only problems we have not solved yet. Tech is for everyone, and I truly love proving that one student at a time.

About the lesson

I want to tell you something that took me a while to figure out: coding is not about being "good at computers." It is about being good at thinking through problems step by step. And guess what — that is a skill every single person can learn, at any age, starting from zero. I know because I have seen it happen over and over with my students. My programming lessons are built around one central idea: build something you actually care about. Because when you are building something real — a game, a quiz app, your own website, a little tool that solves an actual problem in your life — suddenly all the technical stuff has a purpose, and it sticks. No more staring at a screen wondering why any of this matters. For brand new beginners — including kids in K–8 — I love starting with Scratch, which is a colorful visual coding platform that feels like playing with LEGOs. It teaches the core ideas of programming (sequences, loops, conditions, events) in a way that is totally intuitive and genuinely fun. From there we move to Python, which is hands-down the friendliest first text-based programming language out there. We build things like simple calculators, number guessing games, to-do list apps, word scramble games, and eventually more advanced stuff like working with files and basic data — all while learning variables, loops, functions, and object-oriented thinking naturally through the projects. For web development, I teach HTML to build the structure of web pages, CSS to style them (colors, fonts, layouts — the fun visual stuff!), and JavaScript to make them interactive and dynamic. We build real pages you can actually open in a browser and show your friends. For students following school or AP Computer Science tracks, I teach Java — syntax, arrays, classes, loops, object-oriented programming — aligned with AP CS A standards. I also teach SQL for anyone who wants to understand databases and data queries, and I offer beginner AI lessons that explain what machine learning actually is, how neural networks work conceptually, and how to use beginner Python tools to build simple models. Every session is screen-shared and live — I watch your code as you type it, catch mistakes instantly, and explain why things work the way they do every step of the way.
