About Samuel
I am a professional Software Engineer and Architect with a strong foundation in building modern web applications and complex digital systems. I hold a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Software Engineering, which gave me a deep understanding of core programming principles, logic, and system design.
Over the course of my career, I have collaborated with various engineering teams to build software solutions. However, I have always believed that the best way to truly master engineering concepts is to be able to explain them to a child.
My transition into teaching kids stems from a passion to see young minds develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills early. I don't just teach children how to click buttons on a screen; I teach them the underlying logic of programming—loops, variables, and conditionals—in a language they understand. When I am not writing code for production, I spend time studying creative learning tools, robotics kits, and educational frameworks to ensure my teaching methods stay engaging, effective, and up-to-date.

Hi, I’m Samuel. I believe that learning to code shouldn't feel like a chore. It should feel like building a video game!
As a professional Software Engineer, I break down complex logical concepts into fun, bite-sized blocks that kids love. In my classes, your child won’t just stare at a screen; they will actively build animations, interactive stories, and their very own games using Scratch and introductory Python.
My lessons are designed specifically for beginners and intermediate students in Primary and Secondary school (ages 7 to 16). A typical lesson lasts for 1 hour, which is the perfect sweet spot to keep a child engaged without causing screen fatigue.
What my classes look like:
We make every single session 100% practical by building a mini-project from scratch, using storytelling and fun challenges to keep engagement high. Because every child learns at their own pace, I always bring a patience-first approach and tailor my energy to match theirs.
Whether your child is a complete beginner or looking to advance past the basics, let's unlock their problem-solving potential. Book a trial session today, and let's build something cool!
