Coding courses in school are often confusing, difficult, and discouraging - many students find themselves left behind or lost. Coditum's Computer Science curriculum is built on three principles: • Instructors proceed at the student's pace. • Learning by doing requires specific guidance • Curriculum is adapted based on student interest and desires. I've been working at Coditum since it began in 2013, and at SummerTech before that. Many of our other teachers have been my students in the past, or teach projects that I added to the curriculum. I instruct complete beginners, advanced students, and other teachers looking to round out their skills. I also provide AP tutoring; a number of my best students have chosen to skip the class and take the exam for course credit.
