10-year-old Nigerian becomes coding instructor in UK

A 10 year old Nigerian tech genius has been employed in a United Kingdom school as the new Coding Instructor.

Emmanuella Mayaki who is a coding and programming prodigy started her first job at Southfield Primary School, Coventry, England.

Emmanuella was chosen for this role because of her extraordinary knowledge. She will be teaching her students, who are of the same age with her, the basics of coding including HTML and CSS.

“In the club, there are currently about nine pupils. Hopefully, the club will increase its members in September,” she said.

She added that her Academy App among others is already on Google Play store where she passes on knowledge of coding and graphics.

“I remember at age seven, I set a target to become a professional web designer and analyst at age nine, and I have accomplished it,” she said.

When asked how it felt teaching at that young age, Emmanuella said, “In the first week, I was pretty nervous because I had never taught a group of children.

“Although, my experience was sublime because I gained experience and I also enriched my skills.”

“My observations were that not everyone grasps how to do it on their first try and there are some that they rush through it in a breeze.” she concluded

Emmanuelle will be obtaining a diploma with specialty in multiple software programs including Advanced PowerPoint, Desktop Publishing, and Advanced Excel in two years time.

She is still actively learning other coding languages and programs to expand her knowledge even further.
