I grew up in a relatively poor location in El Salvador where education was not emphasized as much due to poverty. Kids were deprived of an education because they had to help their parents. Fortunately, my parents brought me to the United States to get a better education. Since I grew up in a place where I could not get proper education my goal has been to help any student to be successful in their careers.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/coding-teacher-for-kids-alfonso-and-students.jpg\" alt=\"Alfonso with kids\" class=\"wp-image-24097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/coding-teacher-for-kids-alfonso-and-students.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/coding-teacher-for-kids-alfonso-and-students-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-has-been-the-most-rewarding-part-of-working-at-codewizardshq\"><strong>What has been the most rewarding part of working at CodeWizardsHQ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most rewarding part of working at CodeWizardsHQ is knowing that I\u2019m helping a student learn something new, that even though they may not remember everything discussed in class, they\u2019ll at least have the concept that will help them be successful in their future careers.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-your-vision-for-the-future-of-coding-and-kids\"><strong>What is your vision for the future of coding and kids?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> As technology keeps getting more and more complex, coding seems like it\u2019s going to be an essential skill to understand.
