About Giacomo
Hello! My name is Giacomo. I am a first year Computer Science student at Yale University. I learnt programming for the first time when I was very young and was hooked immediately!
I want to teach keen young students to show them that programming is easy and fun. Using simple programming skills we can make cool and fun projects that will leave you surprised at how quickly you can learn.
If you like problem solving, maths, and brain teasers then I think you'll love programming as much as me, and I'd be honoured to teach you.
With me, you can learn how to program simple projects and tools from the ground up! You will learn more about how computers work, and how you can use them for just about anything you like!

Teaching Methodology
There are two main aspects to the way I would like to teach students.
1. Engagement
Programming is such a versatile tool that can be used to make anything you want. This is a golden opportunity for the creative mind of a young student. When I learned programming at a young age, what motivated me most was that I was in awe of what I was making. Even simple projects, when tailored to a student's interests, can be exciting. I always liked math puzzles and so on, so building programs to generate Fibonacci numbers, or check if they are prime, were all very exciting to me. A student may prefer building simple games, or using code to generate art. All of these are good ways to learn the basics of programming
2. Thinking like a programmer
Programming requires a very certain method of thinking through and approaching problems. The only way to achieve this is by focusing on logic behind your programs. I will teach students in Python, a language that is syntactically easy so that students can focus on the "big ideas" behind code instead of getting bogged down in syntax. Think of programming languages as cars: Once you learn how to drive, you can apply that pretty much any car.
What does a lesson look like?
This well depend on the level of the student. First few lessons will be spent learning building blocks like data types and variables. Then we will spend time building simple projects that could take a couple of lessons. All in all, lessons are very hand on: every new idea I introduce to the student, we will use it in practice. This is the best way to learn coding
