About Scratch
Created by MIT’s Media Lab, Scratch acts as an engaging educational portal into the coding world, with a specific focus on beginners and young learners. Its user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, driven by visual coding blocks, empowers users to craft interactive games, compelling narratives, and captivating animations. This visual approach simplifies coding, making it accessible even to those with minimal technical knowledge.
However, Scratch’s true charm lies in its ability to foster creativity. It offers an expansive canvas for learners of all ages to transform their imaginative ideas into digital marvels, ready for sharing. Beyond coding, Scratch functions as a dynamic platform for digital storytelling, logical analysis, and the creation of interactive multimedia art.
Injecting a sense of community into coding, Scratch hosts a thriving online hub where aspiring coders can showcase their projects, share insights, and collaborate. This vibrant ecosystem enriches the learning journey, nurturing a supportive environment for collective progress. Scratch not only nurtures coding skills but also acts as a hub for social interaction and community building.
As a stepping stone to more advanced languages like Python or Java, Scratch establishes a robust foundation for grasping coding principles. It simplifies key concepts such as loops, variables, conditionals, and events, rendering them engaging and easily understandable.
Moreover, Scratch extends its influence beyond education; it is widely integrated into school curriculums worldwide. Educators appreciate its adaptability in enhancing various subjects, infusing them with interactivity, and transforming the learning experience for students.

IB Global Politics with Craig S. and IB Spanish with Anisia O.
My son has tuition for his Global politics IB under Craig S. and think he is an excellent tutor. He also has Anisia O. as his Spanish tutor and she is great as well. My son has made great improvement and better exam preparation since the tuitions with TigerCampus.
Tiger Campus is supportive and patient to the children
My son is an active boy and hard to take online classes.. However, Tiger Campus, the coaches are specialists for their own subjects and patient to the kid. My son understands coach’s explanations deeply even though online class. Since my son have started and challenged Math Olympics in February 2025, we could obtain medals. His achievement has been proved Tiger Campus is really meaningful to the child and gives confidence and pride.
