I help students make sense of Computer Science, build confidence in programming and approach examinations with a clearer understanding of the subject. I bring 27 years of teaching experience, including work in international schools, and experience as an IBDP and Cambridge Computer Science examiner. I hold a BSc and teach IGCSE, A-level and IB Computer Science.

My tuition is tailored to each student’s starting point, course and goals. Some learners need to strengthen their understanding of theory; others want help applying ideas in code or explaining their reasoning clearly. I connect complex concepts to real-world examples and practical tasks so that students understand both how something works and why it matters.

Whether a student needs ongoing support or focused examination preparation, my aim is to develop secure understanding, independent problem-solving and lasting confidence. Lessons are adapted to the learner’s pace, prior knowledge and schedule.

I adapt lessons to the student’s course, current understanding and goals, combining clear explanations with practical application. Complex ideas are broken into manageable steps and connected to real-world examples. Students apply what they learn through programming, problem-solving and discussion of their reasoning.

The balance of theory, coding and examination practice depends on the learner’s needs. I use my Computer Science examining experience to help students understand what a question asks and communicate their answers clearly.

My aim is to build understanding and independence, with a pace and level of challenge suited to the individual student.
