The passionate educators behind Thinkmor Haven's transformative learning experience. Each brings years of industry expertise and a genuine commitment to helping beginners discover their potential in game development.

Marcus Chen

Lead Game Development Instructor

Marcus discovered programming at age 12 when he tried to mod his favorite strategy game. That curiosity led him through computer science at Birmingham University and eventually to a seven-year career at several UK gaming studios. In 2023, he made the leap to education because he realized his true passion wasn't just creating games—it was watching others discover they could create them too. His approach combines technical precision with genuine empathy for the beginner's mindset.

David Rodriguez

Senior Programming Mentor

After spending eight years as a freelance developer building everything from mobile apps to web platforms, David joined our team in early 2024 with a specific mission. He wanted to bridge the gap between academic programming courses and real-world development skills. His background in multiple programming languages gives him a unique perspective on teaching foundational concepts that transfer across different technologies. Students particularly appreciate his practical examples and his talent for explaining complex topics through simple analogies.

We're Expanding

Our team is growing as we continue to refine our approach to game development education. We're always looking for passionate educators who understand that great teaching goes beyond technical knowledge—it requires patience, creativity, and the ability to inspire confidence in students who might never have imagined they could build their own games. If you share our vision of making game development accessible to everyone, we'd love to hear from you.

What Drives Us Forward

These aren't just words on our website—they're the principles that shape every interaction, every course design decision, and every piece of feedback we provide to our students.

Beginner-First Thinking

Every lesson, example, and exercise is designed with the absolute beginner in mind. We never assume prior knowledge, and we take pride in making complex concepts feel approachable and achievable.

Practical Application

Theory matters, but building real projects matters more. Our students create actual games they can share with friends and family—because there's nothing quite like seeing your code come to life on screen.

Genuine Support

Learning to code can feel overwhelming, and we remember that feeling. Our support goes beyond answering technical questions—we're here to encourage, motivate, and celebrate every small victory along the way.
