Individual programming lessons for children 7-11 years old - free course from Foxford, training, Date: December 5, 2023.

My students successfully enter top schools, including the Lyceum of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, 57, 1567, 1329. I teach mathematics according to foreign programs - Israeli, Singapore, Chinese, Georgian, Kazakhstan and American schools. I work with bilinguals, and have taught students from Italy, Spain, Austria, Poland, and France. I also teach programming languages, including Pascal, Basic and Scratch, and teach algorithms in primary classes. I am a certified robotics teacher and have knowledge of the basics of religious cultures and secular ethics (Orthodoxy). My main interest is the development of logical thinking in children. I believe that logic makes it easier to solve not only technical, but also humanitarian problems. A master's degree, the direction of pedagogical support for the development of junior schoolchildren in the field of mathematics and ICT, and experience help me in the individual selection of teaching methods. I adhere to the principles of activity and consistency in organizing education; I determine goals and methods together with the student and parents.

• Activity method and game approach. I apply the minimax principle. Dialogue in the lesson and interactive fun tasks.
• I alternate between activities and use eye-catching, colorful materials in lessons. We don't memorize the rules.
• The student himself discovers knowledge through logic. The result: deep assimilation of the material, learning to explore, be courageous and think outside the box.

I conduct classes with schoolchildren. I am looking for an individual approach to each new student, taking into account his characteristics and the wishes of the client. During the first trial lesson, I try to establish trusting contact, find a common language with the student, win his trust and respect, and believe in my capabilities. I am confident that classes will be productive if they are conducted in a friendly and positive atmosphere.

• I involve in the subject using the student’s favorite interests
• I build my training on learning the Python programming language and the visual block programming environment Scratch.
• Project method

Two educations: humanitarian and technical. I teach mental arithmetic, balancing abilities, as well as programming, mathematics, and school preparation. For the last 4 years I have been specializing in the formation of fundamental cognitive skills in children, manifested in the development of concentration and “mathematical intelligence” according to G. Gardner. In my free time from teaching, I program artificial intelligence systems (Data Scientist, Deep Learning).

• First, we reflect on the material together with the student, then I provoke him to explain how to complete the task.
• We develop a flexible approach to problem solving in a playful way
• I use the method of active storytelling, as a result the student himself makes up a story that illustrates the patterns we study

The course “Fundamentals of Programming and Algorithms” together with the educational platform “Codwards” is aimed at formation of digital skills, development of algorithmic thinking and learning the basics of programming for children from 6 years. Students are not required to have any special knowledge; they will receive everything they need to successfully complete the course. learning process, and the platform itself is designed in such a way as to be as convenient and understandable as possible for everyone.
