Southfield Primary School in Coventry, England, United Kingdom has hired a 10-year-old Nigerian girl to be a coding instructor.

The 10yr old girl, Emmanuella Mayaki, is a coding and programming prodigy who has just been offered her first job as the after school coding club teacher.

According to source, Mayaki will be responsible for teaching other kids her age about the basics of coding including HTML and CSS.

She was selected by the school for the job due to her extraordinary skill and knowledge in the area. Her passion for technology started at 7 years old.

By the time Mayaki was 9yrs old, she had already obtained a diploma with a specialty in multiple software programs. This also included Advanced PowerPoint, Desktop Publishing, and Advanced Excel.

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

“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.
