I can give you regular coaching to help improve the game(s) you are working on. I am a senior-level game designer focussed on player experience and creativity - I am not a technical/coding instructor

About Joe
I've spent my adult life hopping back and forth between jobs where I made games, and jobs where I taught others how to make games and other media. In my spare time, I like making music, cooking, and long walks.

I'm a game *designer*, not a software programmer, so our focus will be on "finding the fun" and learning how games are made in industry, with less of a focus on technology. In our first lesson we'll find out where you already are in your software of choice - or (ideally) look at some projects you're already working on. From there, we'll make a customed learning schedule with take-away exercises fine-tuned to match your interests with what you need to learn next! The technological platforms I can help you to work in include: Scratch, GameMaker Studio 2 [a great starting place for 2D games], UEFN [Unreal Engine for Fortnite], Roblox, RpgMaker, RenPy, and Twine.
I also have a BA degree in Cultural Studies, and a PhD too. So I can help with whatever Art, Design, Media or Literature course you are currently taking, from GSCE, to A-Level or BTEC, all the way up to degree level. Over my career I have made music, films, animation, music videos etc. and can show you the basic process for most forms of media-making. I believe that good creatives are rounded people, so I am happy to take on Art and Design or Design and Technology students who wish to mix tuition in their school/college/university subject with a separate passion area (like game design or visual art).
If you want advice on developing your skillset and portfolio so that you work in games or another creative industry someday - then I'm your person!
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Joe has imagination and flair, with a real ability to draw out ideas and turn them into something concrete. Not all my colleagues would have been up for designing a life-sized game board called 'Save Kent From Dracula'. But offering to talk us all through it in a village church - armed only with a box of plastic bats - took immersive teaching to a whole new level. Our rector still talks about it. Carolyn Oulton, Professor of Victorian Literature.
Tutored by Joe for a year or two, and couldn't recommend more. He's up there with the best tutors I've ever had , doesn't make you feel stupid if you don't understand something. Can take a concept into a abstract view if it helps you see what , how or why it is. Likes to have a laugh and joke but does stay on track and teach you at the same time ,little bit quirky and just great. Couldn't recommend enough
Having been taught by Joe I can confidently say that his number one priority when teaching is your wellbeing and goals.
He is always willing to discuss any issues that you may be dealing with, meaning you don’t have to worry about your concerns not being heard.
He also teaches in an eloquent and relatable manner, allowing for quick understanding of subjects, but he is more than willing to adjust teaching styles to what fits you the best.View more recommendations
