The Opportunity
We're hiring an engaging Unreal Engine Instructor to teach live online classes for kids and teens. This role is all about game development and real-time 3D creation in Unreal Engine — helping young creators design worlds, build interactive experiences, and bring their ideas to life in one of the most powerful engines in the industry.
We're looking for an instructor who can meet students wherever they are — whether that's a beginner opening Unreal for the first time, a teen building their first playable level, or an ambitious young developer working toward a more complete project.
What You'll Do

- Help students plan and build their own game projects from concept to playable result
- Support both beginners and more advanced students with clear, step-by-step guidance
- Teach one-on-one lessons and/or small-group classes of approximately 2–3 students
- Create a positive, structured, and encouraging virtual classroom
- Adapt lessons to each student's level, interests, and creative goals
- Provide thoughtful feedback that helps students build confidence and technical skill
What We're Looking For
- Strong hands-on experience with Unreal Engine, including level design and Blueprints
- The ability to teach technical concepts in a clear, approachable, age-appropriate way
- Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, or mentoring children and/or teens
- A knack for keeping young creators motivated and excited about building
- Confident and engaging on camera
- Clear, warm communicator
- Reliable, organized, and professional
- Comfortable supporting beginners who are new to game development
- A relevant degree or training in game development, computer science, design, or a related field is a plus
- Experience creating project-based lessons or curriculum is a plus
