At Lavner Education, I taught programming and game design to learners aged 7 to 14, using platforms like Game Maker and Scratch. Working full-time at a tech-based summer camp, I handled class sizes ranging from 3 to 15 students. My responsibilities included debugging code, maintaining classroom order, and providing continuous technical and emotional support. I also curated lesson plans, adapting them to meet the unique needs of each class to ensure engaging and effective learning experiences. This role required me to manage classroom behavior, set expectations, and offer one-on-one lessons before and after class if requested, fostering a supportive and productive learning environment.

As a Scratch instructor for Lavner Education, I taught programming to children aged 7-8, introducing them to problem-solving and creative thinking. My role involved fostering their imagination, creating a safe learning environment, and managing a class of varying expertise levels. By curating lesson plans and adapting to each student’s needs, I ensured every child felt supported and challenged appropriately. This experience taught me the complexities of teaching young learners and how to push those capable while aiding those who struggled. It highlighted the importance of care and dedication in boosting students' confidence and abilities.
