Coding, game dev & VR
taught by a real engineer.

One-on-one programming lessons for K-12 students in Gilbert, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and Florence — plus online anywhere in Arizona. Pay entirely with your ESA funds.

I've mentored two students from zero experience to professional software engineer roles. I started this to do the same for kids — while coding still feels like magic.

Every student starts with a free intro call so we can build a plan around your child's age, experience, and interests — not a generic curriculum.
