Reasons to study Scratch

Scratch has no complicated functions and algorithms — here your child can start his journey into the world of IT. Your child can learn the basic principles of programming and prepare himself to study more complex languages such as Python, C++ and so on.
Easy to learn
The Scratch programming course helps children think systematically and approach everything logically. It will help you improve your school performance at the moment. Your kids will love studying with our tutors!
Successful future
The skills learned in Scratch class will be useful in all future professions. Web developer salaries average $ 85,000 a year. And the demand for programmers is growing every year because of digitalization.
Developing logical thinking

The Scratch course is perfect for:

Children that want to excel at school
Children that want to develop analytical and logical thinking
Children that want to succeed in the future

A student at the end of the Scratch course:

Understands basic programming principles
Becomes prepared to study more complex areas of coding
Makes their first animation projects
Develops analytic and logical thinking
Explores their creative potential

I teach because I'm passionate about introducing children to technology, showing them how empowering it is to master it, and how computers can become super assistants in processing information. My dream is to make programming less daunting and more liked among students, and I do everything in my power to achieve this. I get a real thrill seeing even the smallest successes of the children and their joy in solving problems on their own.
