Evan started his coding journey at the age of 15, first taking Computing as a GCE O Level subject, while also being actively involved in his CCA, InfoComm Club as a committee member, imparting his skills about animation and game design to his juniors and participating in various national competitions.

This fuelled his interest in teaching coding, where he enjoys sharing knowledge and imparting new programming skills to students.

He strongly believes that coding is not just learning about technical skills, but rather learning and applying one’s knowledge and creativity to solve problems.

Salena’s passion for teaching was cultivated when she was teaching in primary schools. Having interacted with many students and thus developed an increasing curiousity in children’s development, she pursued a higher degree education at NTU and graduated with a Master of Education.

Having taught core subjects for a few years, Salena decided to broaden her horizon and challenged herself to learn and teach programming at Coding Lab.

Salena hopes to impart the art of programming and uses her academic knowledge to ensure that students are able to learn effectively and enjoy the process at the same time. The light of understanding and excitement that shone in the children’s eyes after they have understood the lesson is always heart-warming to see.

Having been that patient schoolmate that helped her peers out with their homework, Shannon was certain she wanted to become a teacher in the future. Throughout the years, Shannon has taught students of all ages and still feels that same sense of satisfaction now. Combined with her passion for Technology and Math, she aims to share the importance of coding with the young today.

Being a part of the Research and Evaluation Branch at MOE previously, Shannon was involved in conducting various international benchmarking studies for schools, such as automating the data collection processes, consolidation of data and analysis, and using data visualisation software to create interactive and personalised reports for MOE HQ and school users.

Shannon’s teaching philosophy goes by the quote “if a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn”. She strongly believes that every student can learn when given the correct resources, guidance, and time.

Having an interest in teaching since young and a diploma in electrical and computer engineering at NYP, Rachel is excited to be able to pursue her passion by teaching coding to the younger generation.

She finds it fulfilling when a child accomplishes their goal, be it solving a simple bug or creating a program. Every child has their own learning style and she always tries her best to find a suitable teaching approach. There is a heartwarming feeling when a child expresses their affection or appreciation, be it through a comforting hug or a photo.
