About Joe
My career as a tutor and mentor started as a music-based youth worker in my early twenties. Since then I have taught in a variety of settings, from secondary schools and community workshops, to developing and delivering an interdisciplinary university course in art and design. I have an academic background in digital media research, teaching adults game development and related creative subjects, as well as theory from media and cultural studies. I hold a BA and PhD in Media and Culture, as well as a Senior Fellowship from the HEA (basically an advanced certificate in planning and delivering adult education at undergrad and Masters' level). In my late twenties I took a game design and project-management job in a small studio making video games. Since then I have worked on mobile games for clients including Adult Swim, Turner Broadcasting and Mediatonic games, as well as a Roblox experience for the K-Pop band BLACKPINK, and even a Fortnite level for Spotify in 2023! This role has allowed me to work in various creative subdisciplines of game development, including storytelling, music and audio, and 3D environmental design. I am also a passionate lover of music, and have worked as an events organiser and cabaret performer. In my spare time I write songs and produce music with instruments and electronically. I also run a YouTube channel called the Indie Game Clinic, where I review hobbyist games and provide game design advice and insights. I have a lot of experience of working with adults with Autism and ADHD - and have both diagnoses myself. I am *not* a technical instructor and although I have professional experience in music production, game design and video production, I will not give lessons focused on specific software or techniques. My role here is as a creative coach, to help you to accelerate in whatever practice you are already engaged in - to assist in your academic study - or to help you build or develop a creative business.

English
My goal is to accelerate your development by providing focus, advice, and accountability, regardless of which creative field you're in... or trying to enter. Your session with me is a regular space to talk through what you're currently working on, and any issues which may be holding you back. But you'll also be able to pick my brain on any of the following: - a project you are working on for your portfolio. - an area of relevant theory or practice you are struggling to understand. - a soft skill you want to develop (e.g. reflection, research, networking, collaboration etc.) - general academic skills (like analysis and technical writing). - jobhunting, applications, and interviews. - marketing and talking about your work/practice. - relevant personal issues and psychological blockers. These sessions are coaching - not teaching. It will be up to you to determine what you want me to help you to achieve.

Joe has imagination and flair, with a real ability to draw out ideas and turn them into something concrete. Not all my colleagues would have been up for designing a life-sized game board called 'Save Kent From Dracula'. But offering to talk us all through it in a village church - armed only with a box of plastic bats - took immersive teaching to a whole new level. Our rector still talks about it. Carolyn Oulton, Professor of Victorian Literature.
Tutored by Joe for a year or two, and couldn't recommend more. He's up there with the best tutors I've ever had , doesn't make you feel stupid if you don't understand something. Can take a concept into a abstract view if it helps you see what , how or why it is. Likes to have a laugh and joke but does stay on track and teach you at the same time ,little bit quirky and just great. Couldn't recommend enough
Having been taught by Joe I can confidently say that his number one priority when teaching is your wellbeing and goals.
He is always willing to discuss any issues that you may be dealing with, meaning you don’t have to worry about your concerns not being heard.
He also teaches in an eloquent and relatable manner, allowing for quick understanding of subjects, but he is more than willing to adjust teaching styles to what fits you the best.View more recommendations
