Advert description
I have a BSc degree in Computer Science, attaining a First Class Honours. I am a PGCE qualified Computer Science teacher (with QTS) with 2 years of experience in a school setting and am still teaching at KS3 to KS5 in Computer Science, at a high-performing Outstanding secondary school. I currently lead the A-Level course, setting the curriculum, exams and everything else involving KS5 Computer Science. I also have previous experience teaching Mathematics in my first year.
I am able to teach both online and face-to-face and have experience with both.
I can teach programming to a high level including: Python, C#, Java and Web Development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). This will include being able to problem-solve via algorithms and covering all the data structures required.
I have been tutoring since before I attended university, having taught Maths and English. During my degree, I continued to tutor, teaching Computer Science, Maths and verbal and non-verbal reasoning. I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with others and helping others learn and succeed. This is why I became a Computer Science teacher and have been doing so for 2 years. You can be assured I will deliver the best possible teaching for you and help you progress as a student.
I am able to teach both remotely, via video calling, screen-sharing and an interactive whiteboard, and face-to-face. I teach with a "practical" mindset - meaning I will teach the theory alongside worked exercises and problems, before getting the student to do it themselves. This allows the student to relate the learning to the work they do themselves and better understand more complex concepts.
I also set high standards for students and ensure their potential is fully maximised via questioning and adapted exercises. Personalised learning is at the heart of my teaching so I can cater to your individual needs and learning style, ensuring you grasp all the concepts which includes topics such as data structures and algorithms.
I cover everything required in the Computer Science curriculum from KS3 to KS5, and also can scope out of the curriculum if necessary (such as teaching A.I., further software development, other programming languages not in the course etc). I can teach all ages and you don't need to be studying for an exam, it can be just general computer science.
