建造者俱樂部編碼；附 Minecraft 教育版

After graduating University, I worked overseas in China for a year as an ESL teacher. Upon returning, I moved into the Banking Industry and worked for almost a decade.  I decided that that industry no longer appealed to me, so I transitioned fully into the video game industry.  I have since taught classes in Scratch, Minecraft and Roblox and assisted over 100 students through my current employer.  Joining Outschool is my attempt at doing something I enjoy, while working more independently.

My goal here is to teach your young minds what I have learned, so if you too decide to enter the multi-billion-dollar industry of video games, you will be better prepared.  Any homework that I give out is designed to a challenge, more than a requirement.  There is no right or wrong, only the attempt and effort are appreciated.  I’m always available for questions and I try to give a response within 12 hours of seeing the message.

I’ll be honest with you; programming is difficult and intimidating regardless of if you see it for the first time or your one-hundredth time.  It is a challenge that gives you never-ending puzzles as you try to build on what you have.  

I am of the mindset that if somebody orders a dozen of something, I give them thirteen. If they do not like what I am able to provide, I will always give a refund for the last class taught.

When I’m not building games, I love competing at e-sports.  I’ve travelled to compete at Dreamhack and numerous other local tournaments.  I captained my school’s collegiate Hearthstone and Overwatch teams and I’m currently training several players to become competitive at Street Fighter 5.  If e-sports is your thing, and demand it high enough, I’ll see if I develop a few classes on it in the future.
