1-on-1 Gaming Video Coaching: Record, Commentate and Edit Gameplay

The tutor starts by watching a short clip of the learner's gameplay and asking what kind of gaming videos they like. Sessions then cover one step at a time: recording clean gameplay and voice, speaking with energy and without filler, choosing the best moments, and editing them with music, captions and zooms. The learner shares their screen while they edit, and the tutor coaches them through it. Videos can stay private or be shared by a parent.

How classes work

Each 45-minute session is one learner with one teacher. There is no fixed lesson plan or set number of sessions: families book as many as they want, and the teacher sets the pace and focus around the learner's goals and gives feedback as they work.

What we can work on

• 

  Gameplay Review and Video Idea – Watch a clip of the learner's gameplay and choose the idea for their video.

• 

  Recording Clean Gameplay and Voice – Set up screen recording and a microphone so both game and voice are clear.

• 

  Commentary Skills – Practice speaking with energy, explaining what is happening and cutting filler words.

• 

  Picking Highlights – Go through recordings and mark the moments worth keeping.

• 

  Editing the Rough Cut – Put the highlights in order and trim them into a first version.

• 

  Captions, Zooms and Sound Effects – Add captions, zooms on key moments, music and sound effects.

• 

  Thumbnail and Title – Design a thumbnail from a game screenshot and write a title that is honest and clear.

• 

  Final Video and Safe Sharing – Finish the video and talk through private, unlisted and public sharing with a parent.

Ages 9-15. Learners should be able to record a screen or gameplay clip and have used an editing app at least once. Any game the family is happy with can be used.
