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 8-17. If you want your kid to actually learn math and technology while having a bunch of fun, GamePlan is the right place.
Hands-on, one-on-one instruction
Every session is built around your kid's pace and interests, using real game projects to teach programming 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
If your child likes video games, they're already halfway to loving math and engineering. I use game development to teach vector math, physics, logic, geometry, and more.
