About Me
Hey, I'm Zach. I've been making games at big studios for about ten years, and you can find me in the credits for Minecraft, Halo, and other cool stuff. I also make indie games on the side in both 2D and 3D, and I've been doing that for about twenty years. I've mentored junior developers at work, led small teams on game projects, and even taught my two young kids how to make their own games. I also program for Windows, the web, VR, and sometimes mobile.Making a small video game is just about the most fun one can have with a computer (but I might be a little biased). Seeing everything come together (art, music, controls, gameplay) and knowing you're the one who made it happen is an absolute rush. I love seeing that amazement and pride on students' faces when everything clicks for the first time. I work with all ages and skills levels, from helping younger kids with their first Scratch project and walking them through the basics of how the computer thinks, all the way up to college grads learning Unreal Blueprints and C++.

Private coding / programming lessons with pythonPython is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.
This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.
As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.
I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.
Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.
