Gaming Lessons

Back in the 80s, personal computers were in their infancy stages, and the video games people played on them were very rudimentary. But thanks to improvements in technology and whole generations of people growing up with gaming systems ranging from Commodore 64 to Sega Genesis and the Xbox, gaming has evolved both in style and substance.

Today gaming is a multi-player, online opportunity to play against people worldwide on computers, mobile devices, and consoles. While it’s certainly become a multi-million dollar business, the true value of gaming, besides endless hours of fun, is that the skill develops problem-solving skills, increases hand-eye coordination, and improves memory.

To boost your own or your kids’ gaming knowledge and skills, TakeLessons has instructors at the ready to help you level up!

Gaming Lessons Curriculum

Learning how to play video games effectively, whether or casually or competitively, is a combination of playing (practice) and study. Playing is how you improve your skills while studying the game and its mechanics.

No matter the goals, we cater our gaming instruction to players with all different interests and needs.

FAQ

Is it hard to learn to game?

If learning to game better is something you’re interested in, TakeLessons provides expert instruction that will be designed to assist you in mastering your skills.

What are some things I should study to be a better gamer?

Video game programming, software engineering, computer engineering, graphic design, and sound production are all good to know but unnecessary to be a successful gamer. Learning successful tactics and techniques of the better players and regular competition is what is most required to improve.
