>Contact Lauren M

I’m a senior at Castilleja School in Silicon Valley, and I’ve been coding since the fifth grade. I love teaching coding to elementary and middle school students, especially in Python, Java, and Scratch, and I focus on making STEM fun, creative, and empowering. I’ve worked as a computer science teaching assistant and coding instructor, and I’m passionate about helping kids build confidence as they bring their ideas to life. I’m also the author of The Coding Alphabet and have completed advanced courses, including Harvard’s CS50AI. Outside of coding, I enjoy playing the piano, running track, and exploring how technology can help us better understand the world.

I am available on Saturdays after 2:30 pm PST.

My mission

My mission as a tutor is to inspire curiosity, confidence, and creativity in every student I work with. I aim to make STEM subjects approachable and exciting by creating a supportive environment where kids feel empowered to ask questions, explore ideas, and bring their own projects to life. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed when given the right tools, encouragement, and opportunities to discover what they’re capable of.

My Story

I’ve loved coding since the fifth grade, when I first discovered how powerful and creative it could be to bring ideas to life through technology. Growing up in Silicon Valley, I was surrounded by innovation, but I also noticed that not every student had access to the same resources or encouragement to explore STEM. That’s what led me to start tutoring—I wanted to share what I had learned and create a space where kids could discover their own excitement for math, science, and coding. Over time, I’ve taught students in one-on-one sessions and led group programs like Modulo’s coding club. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing piano, running track, and diving into astrophysics and science fiction. Teaching is one of my favorite things to do because I get to help students realize just how capable they are.

FAQ: Additional Details about Lauren M

I’m currently a senior at Castilleja School, where I’ve taken advanced coursework in computer science, math, and science. I’ve also participated in selective programs like Harvard’s Astrophysics Summer Program and the University of Chicago’s Young Innovators Program, which have deepened my skills in research, collaboration, and scientific inquiry. Through these experiences, I’ve explored everything from galaxy formation to sustainable design, and I’m always looking for new ways to apply what I learn to real-world problems.

I’ve been tutoring for over two years, working with elementary and middle school students in coding, math, and science. For the past year, I’ve been tutoring with Modulo, where I’ve also led a coding club to help students build confidence and creativity through programming. I specialize in Python, Java, and Scratch, and I love finding fun, engaging ways to help kids understand complex concepts. My experience as a teaching assistant and coding instructor has taught me how to create an environment where students feel supported, curious, and excited to learn.

Modulo's thoughts

Our learning specialists give their honest evaluation
ManishaCEO and Founder

Lauren is one of my proudest "finds" on Modulo! I reached out to her a year ago when we were looking for a new lead for our coding club and the kids instantly fell in love with her. She's a brilliant young woman who is especially talented at encouraging learning in gifted young girls interested in developing STEM skills.
