“I hope you know how much of an impact you are having in our lives and I am very grateful. You have made such a difference to us - I genuinely am tearing up thinking about it!”
Juliet W
“Aidan’s sessions have been a life saver. My son became so isolated even when he was in his last school part time. I'd noticed recently his volume increased, he gets so excited when he's playing with Aidan. He learnt lots of new skills too, not that I understood most of them. Thanks for everything. ”
Cari
“We just wanted to add a special message of gratitude for Alfie and say how we really appreciate his gentle approach in giving A his autonomy and a PDA friendly approach that has helped A grow in so many ways. We look forward to continuing this journey ahead with more sessions with Alfie. Many thanks”

“H has had offers for digital art degrees at Abertay and Glasgow Caledonian!!! Both offers are well within her reach. We never thought this would be possible given her problems attending school…
…Today was exam results day in Scotland. H did really well, which means she has comfortably met her conditions for going to university for the computer art degree. Her confidence has come on so much this year which I am sure Game Changers has helped with that. She and Alfie really do seem to work well together”
Nancy
“E had a wonderful session, she’s soo excited to get started, she gave it 5/5 and was happy she felt listened to. Game Changers and Alfie has made her day!”
Aileen
“Thank you again for creating Game Changers. This time last year R was in a bad place with it set to get much worse into the autumn term. Fast forward a year to now and I feel like we’re getting our boy back, and Aidan has been a massive part of that. Our boy absolutely loves his sessions with Aidan, and I love hearing them chat away. We really do appreciate him and you.”
Alice
“H is absolutely loving his sessions, thank you. It is the only time in the entire week that he will stay in a room without me there. Alice has worked her magic and I never thought we’d be here a year ago.”
Claire T
“My son considers their sessions with Aiden unmissable, it’s a real highlight in their week! I think Aidan has been so important to their wellbeing. These sessions really are a big boost for the kiddo, and we’re very grateful for them!”
Erica
“My boys absolutely adore their sessions with Aidan, it is the one thing they have in their schedule that they are very upset if they have to miss. He is such an amazing mentor to them, calm, patient, and inspiring, and has made the world of difference to them. I recommend Game Changers to anyone and everyone that I can!”
Elinor
“He’s really enjoying his sessions. I can hear the chatter and laughter while I’m working which is lovely. Thank you”
Suzanne M
“I asked A how it went and he said it was brilliant! He has already taken what Alfie showed him in Blender and designed 2 models , spending 2 or 3 hours working on them. A big thank you to you and Alfie!”
Anna L
“K is so happy to have found someone “just like him” who knows about his special interests and they get on so well!”
Iona C
“Bill is definitely the perfect fit for L. I think that’s the most I have seen her communicate with anyone professional in years. It’s amazing watching her just be herself.”
Launa M
“We are very grateful for Mia’s support and understanding for the anxiety challenges our young person faces. Mia’s patient and low demand approach means that they always feel welcomed and can pick up where they left off. Communications from Mia about the session are always prompt, professional and friendly which means everything runs smoothly.”
Rachel L
“I’m chuffed to bits with Game Changers, such a brilliant idea and Sophie is lovely”
Vicky
“We are really happy with Bill and have seen M slowly come out of his shell and growing in confidence.”
Liz R
“M loved his session with Adam. After it was finished he came downstairs with the biggest smile on his face, super excited to tell me what he’d learnt.”
Lorraine
“We’re really pleased with how the sessions are going and M is thoroughly enjoying his time with Jack, especially now he’s got to know him a bit better.”
Sarah
“It is working because Mia is really gentle in her approach, and allows G to lead which minimises G’s anxiety. She believes Mia understands her, and she trusts her - enough to share what she'd like to do in the sessions. I am so grateful Gamechangers exists! Mia has gone out of her way to keep the connection with G. We’ve had huge smiles.... It is testament to the connection they have built together - she trusts that Mia's feedback is genuine - if a stranger was to give her compliments like this, she'd likely close down and think they were fake. She is really in tune with G. ”
Charlotte P
“Just a quick note to say how great Brayden has been. He’s been flexible switching to a different gaming based coding platform which E is really engaging in”
Sam V
“Please say thank you to Alice from M and I. Alice provided M with much needed support and friendship when she needed it the most.”
Claire B
“I just wanted to let you know how amazingly well B’s sessions with Mario are going. It’s so delightful to see him so happy during and after their sessions.”
Emily L
“Wow! This is the first time I have heard my child speak to someone that she has not known for a long time. She was so disappointed when the session was over which is also a first. I have an amazing feeling this is going to be just what she needs. Thank you”
Julie H
“I just wanted to say that we are loving these sessions. Alice is literally the only adult Kathryn can speak to other than family, for everyone else she is mute.”
Mary G
“Firstly just wanted to say that I am so glad we found Game Changers for our teen, as they love it and it's made such a difference! They have very little social interaction outside the family and can't access other forms of 'tuition' as they are always too formal, based on teaching them maths and English only, and not tailored to them. Your mentoring is the exact opposite! It gives K the balance of structure and autonomy they need in their learning, and enables them to achieve and build their skills in a gradual, low pressure way. Thank you so much!”
Rachel S
“I just wanted to pass on some feedback for Jack who has been working wonders with L. Honestly where do you find these fantastic people?!
He is so kind and understanding with L, from the first session he made an immediate connection with L, sharing interests with him and chatting to him about all the things L loves (Minecraft and Mario Games). L cannot wait until his sessions, every day he says to me “is it Jack time yet?”. He has explained things carefully so that L can understand, but the sessions are so exciting and interesting for L he is learning without even realising it. He feels as if he’s speaking to a friend and sharing things that he enjoys.
Despite L being young and not reading yet Jack has dealt with this amazingly, peaked his interest in such a kind and totally non-patronising manner. He’s another amazing asset to your organisation and I can’t thank you enough!”
Elinor
“Absolutely fab. My son has recently started learning how to code games etc with Game Changers. He has totally engaged with with his 1 on 1 mentor who will teach him coding, game design, the list goes on and on. He loves it that much he is doing in throughout the summer holidays. It’s the only thing we have found he will engage in. He has been so excited before each session and this is so good to see”
Emma
“Game Changers has been life changing for my 16 year old daughter. She’s been out of school for 3 years and was struggling to engage. They helped her explore her interest in technology again. Their work is brilliant. Thank you so much ❤️”
Maria O
“Game Changers is an amazing company that is making a real difference. Their 1:1 game development and tech program is top notch and has helped my child gain confidence and new skills. He is really happy. Thank you Game Changers!!!!”
Sophie
“Game Changers has been great for my son. He was so happy after the session he even agreed to finally try on his new school uniform which is big! Thanks to everyone at Game Changers for your support.”
Jamie
“My 14yr old asd/adhd son has suffered terribly at the hands of our education system. He has ended up unable to attend his independent special needs school as everything is a trigger. He has lost all interest in learning and trust in teachers!
I saw a post about Game Changers and after looking into them felt excited for what could come of setting him up with them.
Russell the owner has been AMAZING at matching my boy to a mentor, my son instantly liked him (he really struggles to feel a connection) and I can’t believe Russell knew exactly who would work for him from everything I told him when his school haven’t been able to manage that after 4 years of him being with them!!
My son is so excited for his sessions and is in awe of how knowledgeable his mentor is and can’t believe he is allowed to choose exactly what he wants to learn! He’s not stopped talking about how he wants to design a horror game!! To see him so enthusiastic is just the best feeling ever!
Russell clearly understands what our kids go through and wants the absolute best for them… it’s so lovely to have my son spend time and learn from people who ‘get’ him… I’m also excited for where what he learns will take him in the future.
Absolutely worth checking out as there are soo many different options of what they can learn from coding to graphic design to AI. Can’t recommend them enough! I really hope this helps someone else’s child ❤️”
Heidi
“A is really enjoying his sessions with Sophie… Sophie is fabulous. Thank you as always for your support and the work that you are doing. It really is life changing for families like ours.”
