Nicholas - Know your tutor
I'm Nicholas Galjanic, a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years professional game development experience at Immersed Games. I'm an expert in Unreal Engine 4/5, C++, Blueprint scripting, and cross-platform deployment across Windows, macOS, mobile, and HTML5. I've led development on award-winning educational MMOs reaching students across the US and Europe. Achieved 66% efficiency improvements through systematic refactoring and optimization. I specialize in hands-on game development tutoring from beginner basics to advanced 3D systems. Whether you're building your first platformer, mastering complex AI behaviors, or optimizing performance, I'll guide you step-by-step using real industry workflows and best practices. My teaching approach: learn by doing, build actual games from day one, and develop both technical skills and creative problem-solving. Ready to transform your game ideas into reality? Let's start creating!

Programming class overview
My teaching follows a structured "Build-Practice-Master" approach rooted in professional game development workflows. Every session starts with a quick assessment of your current understanding or review of any encountered difficulties, then introduces new concepts through hands-on demonstration. You'll immediately apply what you learn by building actual game mechanics. No abstract theory without practical application. I use scaffolding techniques: first I demonstrate while explaining my thought process, then we build together with guided practice. Finally you will start creating independently while I provide targeted feedback. This mirrors real industry collaboration and builds genuine problem-solving skills. Sessions are tailored to your learning pace and goals. Complete beginner? We start with core concepts and build confidence. Experienced programmer? We leverage your existing skills while focusing on game-specific challenges. Every lesson ends with clear next steps and optional practice exercises to reinforce learning between sessions.
