About Me

Hey, I'm Zach. I've been making games at big studios for about ten years, and you can find me in the credits for Minecraft, Halo, and other cool stuff. I also make indie games on the side in both 2D and 3D, and I've been doing that for about twenty years. I've mentored junior developers at work, led small teams on game projects, and even taught my two young kids how to make their own games. I also program for Windows, the web, VR, and sometimes mobile.

Making a small video game is just about the most fun one can have with a computer (but I might be a little biased). Seeing everything come together (art, music, controls, gameplay) and knowing you're the one who made it happen is an absolute rush. I love seeing that amazement and pride on students' faces when everything clicks for the first time. I work with all ages and skills levels, from helping younger kids with their first Scratch project and walking them through the basics of how the computer thinks, all the way up to college grads learning Unreal Blueprints and C++.

Intro to Coding with Python or C++ – Build Real Skills from Day One
This class is designed for absolute beginners who want to start their journey in programming with Python or C++. We’ll start from the very basics—understanding how code works, writing your first program, and gradually moving on to topics like variables, loops, conditionals, functions, and object-oriented programming (OOP). Whether you’re a school student, a university freshman, or just someone curious about coding, I’ll guide you step by step using clear explanations and hands-on practice. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident writing basic programs, solving problems, and ready to take on more advanced CS topics. No prior programming experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to learn!

Maths, Physics, Computer Science: Coaching, homework help - exam preparation
My classes cover all levels from primary to upper secondary. It's important to ensure continuity with your child's teacher's course. Therefore, I will only use my course if necessary. It's important not to duplicate the documents in order to simplify things. 1 + 1 will always equal 2. Theory is the foundation, but practice is essential. Examples are very important for understanding mathematical, physics, and computer science concepts. That's why each theorem will be followed by an example and several exercises. The number of steps will depend on the student's level. Their intelligence has nothing to do with it; it's their motivation and self-confidence that drive their success. I'll give them what they need to assimilate at their own pace all the concepts that school requires them to master. It's also important to have a methodology. By breaking down difficult concepts into simpler ones, we obtain building blocks that simply need to be assembled to understand the entire problem. Teachers neglect this aspect and don't revisit concepts they think they've learned, which is why many students drop out of school. Mathematics is also used in other subjects. It is perfectly possible to cover concepts used in physics, chemistry, or economics if necessary. I also teach courses in these disciplines. I prefer distance learning to avoid travel. However, sometimes students or parents may want me to travel to the area. This is possible after the first class, in the Brussels area.

Into to 3D Art and Design using Blender, a Free Software
In this class you will learn basic to intermediate 3D modeling skills in Blender or basic to intermediate skills in Plasticity 3D. Blender is a free software used by professionals in all fields of 3D. Be it film, games, movies or just hobbies, like 3D printing, Blender is great! In my Blender course the student will be using the basic version of Blender 4.2 with some extensions. If a paid extension is needed, it will be provided free of charge via Dropbox. Plasticity is a easy to learn CAD like software, geared towards artists. Although not currently adopted by the industry, Plasticity has a bright and promising future and currently is great for hard surface modeling, for things like weapons and vehicles. (plasticity is a paid software and is optional if desired) Students will begin their first lesson by downloading and preparing the software they choose for tutoring. In the second lesson and onward, students will be guided at a customized pace through the process of making their very own assets. This course will build confidence and allow the student to build skills in 3D modeling, sculpting, texturing and animation. As an optional bonus the student may also choose to learn 3D printing.

Hello, my name is William. As of today, I’ve been working for 11 years in the animation series and film industry as Lead and Senior Character artist, Lead and Senior Environment artist, CG generalist and CG supervisor. I understand the challenges associated with getting noticed by studios as a beginner who want to step into the industry and I’d like to provide my help. This is a consulting and supportive course for students and artists interested in breaking into the animation, video game, VFX and commercials industry. This is not suitable for any professional work, as I am surely not going to do any 3D work for you :) The course will be tailor-made, which means that I will assist and advise you with the best possible hints and tips based on your current skills and current portfolio. I will provide you with personalized feedback to help you boost your demo reel as close as possible to the standards of the industry for you to catch the attention of recruiters and hopefully getting you a job ! The software used should be free like Blender or Unreal Engine but I can also provide help within Maya if you can afford a license for yourself. The general idea is to provide guidance to level-up to a large and accurate knowledge for you to keep progressing with your preferred software of choice. This course is suitable for perfect beginners and hobbyists who want to turn professional. I can guide you through the numerous software out there and help you pick an industry standard and advise you on the skills you need to grow in order to create or boost your portfolio. I am a calm person with a good temperament and will try to provide best feedback for you, let’s have fun and create together!
