Learning Programming from Scratch

Good afternoon! My name is Andrey. I am a programmer and high-tech manager with extensive experience in the tech industry; for over 20 years, I have been providing one-on-one programming instruction to both school-aged children and adults.
I teach programming from scratch using the following languages: C, C++, C#, Python, Ruby, Lua, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Swift.
I conduct lessons in both Russian and English.
I have successfully taught children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
I invite children aged 9 and older to join my remote, one-on-one sessions.
For each child, I design a personalized curriculum tailored to their specific interests and learning style.
I can say with confidence that learning to program is the best investment you can make in your child's future!
Here is why:
Development of Cognitive Skills:
Logical Thinking: Programming teaches children to break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable parts and arrange them into a logical sequence. This directly fosters their capacity for systematic and critical thinking.
Problem Solving: Every error in code represents a problem that must be identified and resolved. This process cultivates persistence, analytical abilities, and creativity in finding solutions.
Creativity and Innovation: Programming is a tool for creation. Children can bring their ideas to life—whether it be a simple game, an animation, or an interactive story. This stimulates their imagination and teaches them to be creators, rather than mere consumers, of technology.
Mathematical Skills: Many programming concepts are closely intertwined with mathematics (e.g., variables, loops, coordinates). Learning to program can make mathematical concepts more tangible and engaging.
Preparation for the Future:
Digital Literacy: In today's world, understanding how technology works is a fundamental skill. Programming helps children go beyond simply using gadgets to truly grasp the underlying logic of how they function.
In-Demand Skills: The demand for IT professionals is constantly on the rise. An early introduction to programming can serve as an excellent foundation for a future career in technology, engineering, science, and other fields.
Adaptability: Technology is constantly evolving. Learning to program teaches children how to adapt to new tools and languages—a valuable skill in a rapidly changing world.
Personal Development:
Self-Confidence: Successfully creating a program or fixing a bug provides a sense of accomplishment and boosts a child's self-esteem.
Patience and Perseverance: Programming requires attention to detail and a willingness to invest time in debugging. This helps cultivate patience and perseverance.
Examples of what a child can create:
Simple Games: Using platforms like Scratch, children can create their own arcade games, puzzles, or platformers.
Animated Stories: Programming allows children to create characters and bring them to life—making them move, speak, and interact with one another.
Interactive Projects: For instance, creating a program that answers user questions or building a simple calculator.
Robot Control: Some platforms allow users to program simple robots, making the learning process even more engaging and hands-on.
I teach programming to children (ages 9+) and adults, in both Russian and English (in Nahariya and remotely throughout Israel). I offer a personalized approach with one-on-one instruction (no group classes).
I also offer lessons for pairs at the price of a single student session.
