Daniel Fellows

I’m a qualified tutor with a BEng in Computer Science, a PGCE in Education, and various specialized certifications, which allow me to blend technical expertise with effective teaching strategies. My approach combines hands-on learning with clear theoretical explanations, making complex subjects like programming, computing, and networking accessible to all students.

My lessons are tailored for a diverse range of learners, including secondary school students, those in special provisions, and adults pursuing professional or technical development. I specialize in adapting my teaching methods to accommodate students with various learning needs, such as those with ASD, ADHD, or ADD, ensuring everyone can learn at their own pace and gain confidence in their skills.
