Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

My tutoring experience began in 2018 as a Maths mentor for GCSE students, but my passion for Computer Science soon took precedence. From 2020 onwards, I transitioned to online tutoring, refining my skills to effectively teach IGCSE Computer Science. I’ve delivered over 1000 lessons to students worldwide, combining structured techniques with individualised support to achieve exceptional results. I am also currently pursuing a PGCE in Computer Science, which enhances my teaching methodology.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is tailored to IGCSE Computer Science, ensuring students grasp essential concepts like algorithms, programming, and systems. Lessons are interactive, with weekly reinforcement of ideas and personalized learning plans. I incorporate tools like coding exercises, live debugging sessions, and exam-style questions to prepare students thoroughly. My priority is fostering problem-solving skills and exam confidence in every session.
