I have been Teaching since 2011 and Head of Computing from 2018 in a top 5 in the country comprehensive (2022). I have taught both Computer Science and ICT from year 7 to 13

Currently I Teach OCR a level, Edexcel GCSE, mark OCR GCSE and have experience of All major GCSEs through private tutoring since 2019. Generally Python is the language I teach in but I am also experienced in several others.

Lessons are delivered online (Zoom) and usually involve a word document, past exam questions, mark schemes and materials from my own in person lessons. Feedback and lesson notes are provided after lessons. Homework available on request.

In 2024 35% of my GCSE students achieved a grade 9 with 60% 9-7 and 100$% pass rate.
In both 2022 and 2023 around 50% achieved a grade 8 or 9.
Since starting exam marking in 2018 each year I have been graded as having marked to either an excellent or high standard.

Availability for online lessons include weekends, school holidays and some evenings.

Names have been changed but below are some comments by parents of students I have delivered private lessons for:
-Rachel said you are an excellent teacher: thorough, efficient and explaining very clearly.
--Sam got a 5 in computer science we are so pleased. Wish we had found you sooner I think it would have made an even bigger difference
--James asked me to make sure to tell you: Thank you for your patience and guidance. James likes your class very much.
