Build Your First Game: Introduction to Game Coding and Logic

51.68 £ /h

Ever wondered how your favorite video games are built? The secret isn't just graphics—it's logic. This class is a fun, hands-on introduction to programming through the lens of game development.

Using C++, the industry-standard language for major gaming engines, we will build classic text-based and simple 2D games (like terminal banking apps, text adventures, or arcade mechanics). You'll learn how to manage player input, keep track of scores, create game loops, and handle collision logic. If you've always wanted to make your own games but didn't know where to start, this course will give you the foundational blueprint to bring your ideas to life.

Python for Fintech: Build Modern Financial & Banking Applications

46.33 £ /h

The intersection of finance and technology is completely powered by code, and Python is the undisputed language of choice for modern fintech. From retail banking systems and payment gateways to automated risk analysis, Python’s robust ecosystem handles billions of dollars daily. I have designed this practical, project-based course to guide you through the foundations of building functional, secure financial software from scratch.

We will bypass abstract coding puzzles and focus entirely on real-world fintech architecture. You will learn how to structure core banking logic, manage transactional data safely, and design clean, reliable user interfaces.

What you will master in this course:

Core Banking Logic: Design object-oriented systems to handle bank accounts, balances, secure user authentication, and transfer logic.

Data Integrity & Security: Learn how to process transactions safely, handle floating-point math accurately for currency, and prevent data corruption.

Fintech Automation: Use Python scripts to automate financial workflows, parse transaction ledgers, and generate clean financial reports.

API Foundations: Understand how modern financial applications talk to other servers to check balances or authorize secure payments.

By the end of this class, you won't just know how to write Python code—you will understand how to think like a fintech engineer and build applications that process financial data with precision and security.

Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

Graphic design is one of those skills that looks simple from the outside but has real depth to it. Whether you're starting from zero or already know your way around the basics, these lessons are designed to help you build a solid foundation and develop the kind of creative thinking that actually gets you somewhere in this field.

I've been working as a graphic designer for 16 years, across branding studios, creative agencies, and product teams. I currently work as a Head of Graphic Design, and I've spent the last four years teaching and mentoring designers at all levels, including at Brainster Academy and Monday Academy. I bring that same industry-level perspective into every lesson.

What we cover depends on where you are and where you want to go, but typically includes design principles, typography, layout and grids, color theory, composition, vector illustration, and design for both print and digital. We work with industry-standard tools: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, taught in a way that fits into a real professional workflow, not just isolated exercises.

Every session is personalized. We work through real projects and practical tasks rather than just theory, so you're building skills you can actually use. You'll also get honest, constructive feedback throughout, the kind that helps you grow faster than going it alone.

These lessons are open to complete beginners, self-taught designers looking to fill gaps, students, and working professionals who want to level up. If you're serious about graphic design, I'd love to work with you.

Learn how to set up digital art and designs for CMYK printing.

Setting up documents to include bleed from the get-go, create rich blacks, colour sample RGB colours and find closest CMYK matches or identify unprintable colours.

There isn’t anything more disappointing as a designer, than sending off a design you’re proud of to a print company and receiving back a product that is dull, has a white edge you weren't expecting or shows a mish mash of black shades that looked the same on-screen.

I can teach you how to set up your work so it’s right from the start.

Spot signs of when the printing has gone wrong, such as out-of-register printing and colour variations throughout the print run on the product you have received.
