I connect the concept to something familiar.

Example: Explaining variables as “labeled boxes” that store items, or functions as “machines” that take input, do something, and give outpuBreak It into Small Pieces

Instead of dropping the whole concept, I split it into digestible steps.

Example: To explain recursion, first I’d explain functions calling other functions, then show how a function can call itself, and finally add the idea of a base case.

Use Visuals or Diagrams (when possible)

Flowcharts, step-by-step traces, or even everyday sketches can make abstract ideas more concrete.

Example: For loops, showing a circle with a counter helps people "see" repetition.
