Welcome to a game that is just out of this world, No Man’s Sky! A captivating space adventure that your child is sure to love! _______________________________________________________________ In No Man's Sky, you take on the role of a brave space explorer, venturing into an expansive universe. We will have the opportunity to explore countless planets, each one unlike any other, with diverse landscapes and fascinating ecosystems waiting to be discovered. You choose to pilot any one of your own spacecraft and zoom through the stars at lightspeed, giving you a sense of freedom and empowerment. Travel to any one of the thousands of planets you desire, landing on it seamlessly to explore its surface up close. Throughout our journey we will need to gather resources from these planets. This involves searching for valuable materials and learning how to manage your supplies effectively. Crafting advanced technologies and upgrading your gear will be essential to survive and thrive in the vastness of space. These aspects of the game introduce problem-solving and decision-making skills in a fun and interactive way. Together, we will embark on cooperative missions, share discoveries, and support one another in our explorations and gameplay. This social aspect of the game fosters teamwork and communication while encouraging positive interactions with others in a safe virtual environment. While playing No Man's Sky, we will not only have a blast exploring far-off planets but also develop skills such as critical thinking, resource management, and teamwork. In this game, I will teach students every aspect of how to play, as well as many tips and tricks on profitable trading routes, building bases, buying and upgrading ships, weapons and upgrading tools in the most efficient time saving ways! No Man's Sky offers an extraordinary experience of space exploration. It encourages a sense of wonder, creativity, and problem-solving abilities in an engaging virtual universe. Get ready for an amazing open-world endless universe gaming adventure, making memories and new friends with the same interests. Rest assured that while playing No Man's Sky, your child is embarking on an educational and thrilling adventure among the stars! _______________________________________________________________ I will create a friendly inclusive gaming session in a safe and trustworthy environment. Students will feel a sense of belonging within our small team of 3 students and myself. I'll be playing more as a friend and teammate, than an adult teacher.

Happy exploring! ~~~For ages 11-18~~~ (listing says 12-17, but it's flexible by one year). If your child is a different age or you need a different day/time, please contact me. Thanks, Steve.

I specialize in hosting video game sessions that encourage critical thinking, leadership, and decision-making, offering an exciting way to boost confidence while having fun.
Coming from a large, diverse family has nurtured my empathy and understanding, especially with neurodiverse children and adults. My classes warmly welcome both neurodiverse (ADHD, Autism, Anxiety) and neurotypical children, ensuring an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone can participate and thrive.
Through gaming, students build essential skills like leadership, teamwork, resilience, and confidence. They enhance focus, attention, and cognitive flexibility while also improving tech literacy, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. My sessions encourage students to find balance with structured screen time, emphasizing the social and mental health benefits gaming can offer.
I strive to foster independence and self-motivation, helping students grow in areas like spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, motor skills, and strategic thinking. Additionally, gaming promotes cultural awareness and diversity, offering students a broader perspective, while providing a positive outlet for stress relief and relaxation.
With a focus on resilience, I encourage students to persevere and overcome obstacles, celebrating their successes and achievements when they reach them.
As someone who has loved gaming since the age of 9, I’m dedicated to inspiring the next generation of gamers.
Beyond gaming, I’m happy to share my knowledge in live streaming, YouTube content creation, video and image editing and other creative online pursuits. My goal is to help students overcome obstacles, persevere, and become more confident and empowered versions of themselves.
Join me on this exciting learning adventure, where education and fun come together!
