About Shivam
Hi there! I'm Shivam.
I'm a game developer and tutor from Kolkata. I spent most of my time working remotely for various companies and freelancing roles through the pandemic, post-2020. I co-developed the game "1971: Indian Naval Front" (Steam) in Neosphere Interactive, which got the India Game Developer Conference's Game of the Year award in 2023.
From 2022 to 2025, I attended Kingston University London for an MSc degree. London's atmosphere was quite refreshing in terms of the sheer diversity of cultural representation, amidst an interesting political climate. The years have been nothing short of character-defining, life-shaping. Work was hard to come by, and teaching seemed like a viable option as a part-time (to eventually full-time) pursuit. I now have more than 3 years of experience teaching in formal and informal settings, having had an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Certificate for teaching young kids.
Having established myself as a tutor there (I taught gamedev and general programming, and even cycling!), I realised I had just as good a shot teaching my countryfolk at reasonable Indian standard rates. It's sad that I don't see a game development tag on this version of Superprof, but if I can find a way to get that tag here, that'd be awesome!

===== Core Experience:
C++, C#, Go, Python | Scratch, MakeCode Arcade
Unity, Unreal Engine
===== Extra:
JavaScript/TypeScript, Java/Kotlin, SQL, Rust, Lua(u)
Godot Engine (community docs maintainer)
Any other language, framework, toolchain, or ecosystem? Happy to discuss!
===== What seems to work right now (improving this continuously!):
KIDS => MakeCode Arcade Blocks ️-> MakeCode Python or JavaScript -> Advanced Scripting
(concepts: game loops, events, interactions, sequencing, fire-and-forget parallel tasks, basic narrative design, sprite animations!)
GAME ENGINES => Usually Unity or Unreal, but the workflow is similar to any engine with a GUI: navigating the UI, exploring different tools, and scripting behaviour. Tasks are highly customised per student!
We go into advanced concepts such as Cloud APIs and other integrations as needed.
OTHER => ??? (Drop me a text!)
=====
I prefer a structured approach to lesson planning, so any syllabus, marking rubric, job role description, or other requirement you provide me is factored into our plans! I usually carry out 1-hour sessions, but 4-hour sessions work similarly (except we must all take breaks!).
My teaching approach has always been hands-on: my focus is for you to write more code than draw more diagrams (matplotlib users aside (¬‿¬) ). However, I deploy visual aids (think graphics programming-ish) when introducing concepts to kids or when more experienced learners want to put their ideas on paper or Paint.
I know that working on problems structured as though they belong in a syllabus pattern helps. For kids, it may be to use a simple library; for experienced folk, it could be an analogue of some problem we found online that they must wrap their minds around.
