My name is Jake. I am a coding/game development instructor in the Chicago suburban area who teaches beginner and advanced programming concepts to kids aged 8-14. If you want your kid to engage with math and technology while actually having fun, GamePlan is the right place.
Hands-on, one-on-one instruction
Every session will have your child making video games, using real game projects to teach programming, engineering, and math skills.
Learning brought straight to you
I bring my own computer setup with all the technology and software your kid needs to start learning.
Teaching from the games they already love
I reference and use many examples from popular video games to explain a broad range of game development concepts.
