Scratch Programming for Kids — Learn to Code Through Games & Stories

Does your child watch YouTube and play games for hours?

What if they could build the games instead?

Scratch Programming for Kids is a 10-session, live one-on-one coding course for children aged 6–10. No classroom. No waiting. No child left behind while others race ahead.

Using MIT Scratch — a free, visual drag-and-drop coding platform trusted by over 100 million young learners worldwide — your child will go from never having touched code to building their own working game in just 10 sessions.

What your child will build:

🎮 A moving character animation with sound

🎯 An interactive game with a score counter

📖 A multi-scene story with characters and dialogue

🏆 Their own original Scratch project — designed entirely by them

By the end of this course, your child will:

✅ Navigate the Scratch platform confidently and independently

✅ Use motion, sound, and visual effects to bring characters to life

✅ Understand loops, conditionals, and variables — the core of all coding

✅ Build and debug their own projects without needing help

✅ Present and explain their project with pride

Why one-on-one matters:

In a group class, your child watches. In a one-on-one session, your child does. Every minute of every session is focused entirely on your child’s understanding, pace, and creativity. If something doesn’t click, we slow down. If they’re flying ahead, we go further. No child gets left behind or held back.

About your tutor:

Anthony is an IB PYP/MYP certified STEM educator based in Japan with years of experience teaching coding and robotics to children across international schools. He holds an MSc in Cybersecurity and has built coding curricula used by children from ages 4 to 16. He is also a parent — so he understands exactly what you want for your child.
