- GCSE Computer Science
- A Level Computer Science
I am a Computer Science teacher with over six years of teaching experience across KS3 to KS5, including GCSE and A Level Computer Science, as well as Creative iMedia at KS4 and programming (including Python).
In my previous role as Head of Computer Science in an independent school, and earlier as Second in Department and KS3 Lead, I was involved in curriculum development, assessment design, and mentoring other teachers. This has given me a strong understanding of how students are evaluated and what is required to achieve higher grades.
Alongside my teaching, I have developed over four years of one-to-one tutoring experience, supporting students with both Computer Science theory and programming, depending on their individual needs. I work with students who require support with core topics such as computer systems and logic, as well as those who need to build confidence in coding.
I have particular experience supporting students who are new to Computer Science or feel behind, helping them build a strong foundation through clear explanations, structured practice, and step-by-step guidance.
I have helped students improve from a Grade 4 to a 6, and from a Grade 5 to an 8, by focusing on clear methods, exam technique, and consistent reinforcement of key concepts.
Students I work with typically show improved confidence and independence over time, particularly in applying their knowledge effectively in exam questions.
