Arron
Arron holds a First Class degree in Computer Science from the University of Manchester. He has been tutoring since his undergraduate studies and now combines tutoring with his work as a programmer.
“Amazing tutor!”
I have over seven years of tutoring experience, supporting many students through their GCSE, A-level and university courses.
For students studying at school I offer the following subjects:
- A-Level Computer Science: AQA, OCR, CIE
- GCSE Computer Science: AQA, OCR, CIE, WJEC, Edexcel
- GCSE Maths: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC (with Numeracy)
Higher Level Experience:
- Undergraduate Computer Science: Computation, Algorithms and Data Structures, AI (rules based and machine learning), Programming Paradigms
- Postgraduate Computer and Data Science: Experience working on various projects using a range of frameworks - Pytorch, Tensorflow, Keras, Scikit-learn, Pandas etc
- General programming: Java, Python, Haskell, C
Raised in North London, I studied Mathematics, Computer Science, and Chemistry at Woodhouse College before moving to Manchester to study for a BSc in Computer Science at the University of Manchester.
I began tutoring during my time in Manchester and after attaining a first-class degree, I worked as an Artificial Intelligence Engineer for a year and a half working with a mix of traditional and generative methods before turning my complete focus towards tutoring.
I now have over seven years experience tutoring in Computer Science from GCSE to postgraduate level, with experience across many UK exam boards, including OCR, AQA, Edexcel, CIE and WJEC at GCSE and A-level. In addition to computing, I also teach music in both individial lessons and group environments such as at afterschool clubs and half term camps.
“Arron has really helped my daughter with her A level computer studies work and I'm really happy with the progress to date. My daughter is also really happy and feeling more confident about her work.”
“Amazing tutor! I started working with Arron to improve my Python and Java skills, and he quickly helped me make real progress. He explained everything clearly and at a level I could easily understand. I’m very happy with how far I’ve come, I would definitely recommend him!”
“Clearly understands the syllabus and good with explaining topics to a 17 year old.”
“Arron helped me with my end-of-year exams, which I had to resit in university. He explained topics clearly and ensured I understood what was going on. Arron tailored his tutoring to my university specification, and helped me to pass the exams I had previously failed! I would recommend him to anyone struggling with Computer Science.”
To find the best engagement in each student you need to be attentive to their needs which always vary. I’ve found this particularly helpful when working with SEN students, who frequently struggle in mainstream education but often make massive improvements when adaptations are made. When I can, I try to encourage enquiry even when it may not be directly related to the content of the lesson as curiosity is the key to ensure that the student is thoroughly understanding what is being taught and why particular concepts are relevant. This is especially useful in computing as the content at all stages of learning can seem very abstract at first and often will require more effort to get over the first hurdle.
When preparing for assessment, I find the main goal is to ensure that students completely understand what is being asked of them, therefore a deep understanding of the content including all necessary context that sheds a light on application is necessary to make question answering more intuitive.
My schedule is very flexible, and I fit my programming side projects around tuition very easily. My other hobbies include music, art and cooking.
