Ashley, Teacher

BSc Digital Arts Computing, Goldsmiths University of London

I’ve always believed in the power of art and technology to inspire awe and wonderment in kids. Hence, through teaching, I hope to create sensory learning spaces and interactive experiences through creative design and technology.

I got into coding quite late, at the age of 18. I previously trained in fine art sculpture, and it wasn’t until I realised I wanted to create kinetic installations that I picked up coding from using Arduino in my artworks. That slowly led me to explore more technologies and languages to expand on the installations I could create. I believe that, regardless of whatever field of work one goes into, even non-tech ones, having a background in coding makes sure no one can fool you on what is or isn’t technically possible. It is powerful for children to grow up aware that the limits to their world is their own imagination.

Policies

Rescheduling lessons

If you need to reschedule a lesson for any reason, please give us at least 24 hours notice by either contacting your tutor or a member of our team at hello@blueshiftcoding.com and we will do our best to move the session for you.

If your child is feeling unwell, we might be able to reschedule your lesson up to 2 hours before the lesson is supposed to start for online tuition, and up to 4 hours before the lesson is due to start for in-person tuition.

Missing a lesson

Please be aware that if you miss a lesson for any reason and do not give us at least 24 hours notice we will take this as a no-show and charge you the full rate of this session without an opportunity to reschedule, as we must compensate our tutors for their time.
