About Katie
I'm a dedicated programming mentor with 6 years of cultivating coders from elementary classrooms to college CS101 labs. My journey began as a self-taught developer who fell in love with untangling logic puzzles, and evolved into guiding 200+ students toward their own "aha" moments.
I specialize in translating complex concepts into accessible, bite-sized wins. For K-12 learners, I weave in gamification and storytelling, think Python-powered treasure hunts and JavaScript art canvases. With high schoolers, I focus on AP Computer Science Principles & A success, robotics team prep, and portfolio-ready projects. College freshmen count on me for bridging the gap between pseudocode and production, mastering pointers, recursion, and debugging workflows.
My toolkit spans Python, Java, C++, HTML/CSS/JS, and Scratch, but my real expertise is diagnostic: pinpointing knowledge gaps, dismantling tech anxiety, and scaffolding confidence. Over 6 years, I’ve refined a patient, inquiry-driven style where mistakes become momentum. Students don’t just memorize syntax, they learn to architect solutions, test fearlessly, and think like engineers. Let’s transform frustration into fluency.

My lessons transform abstract code into tangible creations. Whether your student is a curious kindergartener exploring Scratch or a college freshman wrestling with data structures, I architect sessions around their curiosity. We begin by mapping your goals, AP Computer Science mastery, robotics competition prep, or building a first app.
Each tutorial is scaffolded, blending conceptual anchors with hands-on tinkering. Younger learners craft animations and games, discovering loops and conditionals through play. Middle and high schoolers graduate to Python, Java, or web development, tackling real-world challenges like automating tasks or designing portfolios. College students refine algorithms, debugging strategies, and clean-code principles essential for CS101 success.
I emphasize problem-decomposition, resilience through errors, and computational thinking that outlasts any language. Sessions are dialogic, not lecture-driven: we pair-program, dissect code line-by-line, and celebrate breakthrough moments. Assignments are customized micro-quests that reinforce classwork while sparking independent exploration.
No prior experience needed just willingness to experiment. My mission: cultivate not just coders, but confident creators who see programming as a superpower for shaping ideas into reality.
