For GCSE & A Level Computer Science:
OCR, AQA, Edexcel

Peer Paper Assessment (PPA):
We spend 30% of every session on active recall and past paper analysis. I provide detailed feedback using official mark schemes to ensure you aren't just learning, you are performing to exam standards.

Targeted Development:
We start by identifying specific areas for growth. I don't waste time on what you already know. We hunt for the "red zones" in your syllabus and master them. This is where most marks are lost!

Homework:
At the end of each lesson, I provide detailed feedback and a targeted set of tasks specifically designed to challenge your weaker areas. This work is marked before our next session, ensuring lesson time is spent on progression, not grading.

Lesson Materials:
We will share a Google Drive where our lesson materials will be stored and is accessible to you at any time. In addition to this, we share a google doc that is editable by both tutor and student simultaneously.

Non Exam Assessment (NEA):
The NEA is often the "make or break" for an A* grade, accounting for 20% of your qualification. I mentor you through the entire lifecycle, from selecting a high-complexity project to the final technical write-up, ensuring your code meets professional standards and your documentation hits every mark boundary. Leveraging my industry experience, I teach you the "Clean Code" and robust testing practices that ensure your project stands out to examiners.

Coding:
- Python
- VB.net
- C#
- Java
- C++
- React, ts, tailwindcss

  • 1) Can you tell us about your first experience using a computer?

    My journey began at age eight, huddled over my mother’s laptop playing CS:GO. It was during those gaming sessions that I "tripped" into the world of source code, sparking a curiosity about how digital worlds are actually constructed that hasn't left me since.
  • 2) What is the technological evolution that has marked you most and what will be, in your eyes, a turning point in this field?

    The recent AI revolution has fundamentally shifted my approach to both professional development and academic study. We are seeing unprecedented opportunities for efficiency and creativity. I believe the next true turning point will be the mainstream integration of AI-driven robotics, which will move intelligence from our screens into our physical environment.
  • 3) Explain your expertise, your interest in it and, more broadly, its importance in the computer world.

    I specialize in low-latency systems. I began as a software engineer for a motor racing team an incredible experience for a lifelong F1 fan. I later transitioned these skills into FinTech, building high-frequency trading platforms that process billions of transactions daily. In a world where a millisecond can represent millions of dollars, optimizing for speed and reliability is the ultimate engineering challenge.
  • 4) Do so-called 'visionaries', such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg inspire you or do you have other role models?

    While the classic tech titans inspire my "entrepreneurial" spirit, I find equal inspiration in athletes and artists. Software engineering is rarely a straight line. It requires the same grit, persistence, and creative "flow" that you see on a track or in a studio.
  • 5) Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

    The most important lesson I’ve learned is that even the most complex systems in the world, the ones running global banks or racing cars, all started with a single, humble line... print("Hello World"). Mastery is just a series of tiny steps.
  • 6) What would you say to an uncomfortable person in front of a screen who says that " Computer Science is too complicated"?

    I’d tell them that Computer Science isn't about being a math genius; it’s just the art of breaking big problems into tiny, manageable steps. If you can follow a set of instructions to build a Lego set, you’re already thinking like a computer scientist. We’ll just learn the logic one 'block' at a time.
  • 7) What are your other passions, related or non-related to computers?

    When I’m not at a keyboard, you’ll find me running, competing in hackathons, or spending time with my loved ones. Balance is what keeps the code clean!
  • 8) What makes you a Superprof in Computer Science?

    I’ve lived and breathed code since I was eight. With a full academic sweep (9 - GCSE, A* - A-Level, and a 1st Class Degree in Computer Science) coupled with software engineering experience at Big Tech and FinTech firms. In short, I've been doing this for a long time haha.
