• Responsibilities

A Code Coach (coding tutor) is a mentor who teaches kids how to code. At theCoderSchool, we have two basic teaching styles - your assignment will depend on schedule, ability, and desire.

• Code Coaching. One-to-one or one-on-two coding lessons for kids. Younger kids will be taught in Scratch or Snap, while older kids gravitate towards Python/JavaScript or other advanced languages like Java, C . The kids will generally create apps that you decide with them, and may (or may not) follow our curriculum. Personalization and customization are strongly encouraged.
• Code Class. Traditional curriculum based classes with a larger student to teacher ratio, where all students follow a set specific curriculum. Classes are only for drag and drop and python. Small ratios of 4:1 or 5:1.
