Programming/Computer Science Tutor for A-level and GCSE

I have valuable teaching experience as a teaching assistant at Ardingly College in the computer science department. During this time, I developed an adaptive teaching style customized to meet the unique needs of each student.

In my teaching approach, I prioritize assessing and understanding each student's current knowledge and learning style. This initial step allows me to gain insights into their strengths and areas requiring improvement.

I take a personalized approach by crafting individual learning plans for every student, co-created with the students themselves. These plans outline their goals and milestones.

To cater to various learning preferences, I employ a wide range of teaching techniques and resources, ensuring that every student has access to the most effective learning methods.

Regular feedback is an essential part of my teaching. I provide constructive feedback consistently, recognizing their progress and guiding them through areas where they need enhancement.

Recognizing that each student learns at their own pace, I adapt my teaching speed accordingly. Some may grasp concepts quickly and are ready for more advanced material, while others may benefit from additional time and reinforcement.

I make effective use of educational technology tools and resources to enrich the learning experience. Online tutorials, interactive simulations, and customized materials tailored to each student's needs are some of the tools I utilize.

Furthermore, my extensive background in computer science, including completing both GCSE and A-levels with the OCR exam board, equips me with the knowledge required to provide effective guidance. My portfolio of projects, such as developing an object detection program in Python, creating a recipe website, building a YouTube clone with React, designing a simple shooter game using C++ and Unreal Engine, and crafting a 2D platformer game with C#, allows me to offer customized coding exercises and real-world projects that align with my students' interests and abilities. My commitment is to empower each student to reach their full potential and cultivate a positive and effective learning experience.
