1-on-1 Godot Tutoring for Beginners: Make Your First 2D Game

Private lessons for ages 10 to 16 who want to learn the free Godot engine. Learners build a complete 2D game step by step and learn GDScript, a beginner-friendly language similar to Python.

Class Experience

The tutor introduces Godot's building blocks, nodes and scenes, by making a small game together: a character who collects coins and avoids enemies. The learner types every script and the tutor explains what each line does. The final sessions are spent adding the learner's own ideas.

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

  • Godot Tour: Nodes and Scenes – Install Godot and build a first scene.

  • Player Movement – Move a character with the keyboard.

  • Tilemaps and Levels – Draw a level with tiles.

  • Collectibles and Score – Pick up coins and count them.

  • Enemies and Game Over – Add hazards and a restart.

  • Animation and Sound – Bring the character to life.

  • Your Own Feature – Add something the learner designs.

  • Export and Share – Build the game for others to play.

Parents Often Ask

Godot is free, lightweight and runs on modest computers, and its scripting language is easy for beginners.

No, but those who do will find GDScript familiar.

No. Godot is a free download with no sign-up.

The price shown is for one session. There is no fixed number of sessions: book as many as you want, and move a session to another time if a week does not work.

Yes. The first session checks what your child already knows, and the plan is adjusted from there.
