Super Tutor

Danny is one of our best Web development tutors. High-quality profile, qualifications verified, organised and responsive to lesson requests, and appreciated by their students.

About Danny

I’ve been building for the web professionally since 2000 — back when the dot-com boom was still happening — and I’ve worked across both agency and in-house teams on real production systems for organisations including the BBC, The Guardian, Sky, Channel 4, Orange and Vodafone (plus government work via agencies).

Alongside shipping products, I’ve spent a big chunk of my career doing what I enjoy most: helping developers improve — mentoring juniors, supporting career switchers, and guiding people through the “stuck” moments that tutorials don’t solve.

I’m originally self-taught, so I understand the gaps that learners hit (and how frustrating they can be). In 2019 I formalised that foundation with a BSc in Computer Science, completing it alongside full-time work and graduating with First Class Honours (2023).

If you’re looking for someone calm, practical, and genuinely invested in your progress — someone who can explain why something works, not just what to type — I’d love to help.

About the lesson

My lessons are practical, structured, and tailored to you — whether you’re starting from scratch, building a portfolio, studying Computer Science, or working as a developer who wants to level up.

What a typical lesson looks like:

- Quick check-in & goal for the session (what you want to be able to do by the end)

- Hands-on coding together (pair-programming style, with you driving when possible)

- Debugging + best practice as we go (so you build confidence, not just code)

- A clear takeaway plan: small exercises and next steps you can actually complete

What I can help you with:

- Core web dev: HTML, CSS (including Tailwind/Sass), accessibility, responsive layout

- JavaScript & TypeScript: fundamentals → modern patterns, async, architecture, clean code

- Frameworks: React and Svelte (components, state, performance, real-world patterns)

- Tooling: Vite/Webpack, build tooling, project setup, code quality, Git workflows

- Debugging & performance: Chrome DevTools, profiling, React re-renders, “why is this slow?”

- Career support (if you want it): portfolio projects, code reviews, interview prep, mentorship

A note on AI tools:

AI can be useful — but it can also hide the fundamentals. I’ll show you how to use AI as a helper, while still learning to reason, debug, and build independently (the skills that actually make you employable and effective).

If you tell me where you are right now and what you’re aiming for, I’ll shape the lessons around that and get you moving quickly.

Perfect! Danny is a fantastic tutor, and I enjoy our sessions greatly. He has gone above and beyond to help me gain essential knowledge. I was delighted when he took time outside of our lesson, to look at some code and discuss it and the implications of it. Many thanks

Perfect! Danny is a great and patient tutor. I wanted someone who would be able to explore key problem areas (nodeJS/APIs) to dig down, explain from a different perspective and show me how to research and debug issues. 10/10 for patience, approach, preparedness, communication and clarity.

I couldn't rate Danny enough and hope he'll keep a bit of time available for me so I can continue to learn with him and take advantage of his deep knowledge and pleasant teaching manner.

Perfect! Danny's vast experience and knowledge shows. He is exceptional at breaking down complex concepts that I had been struggling with, is very patient and easy to speak with. After just a handful of sessions, I have a significantly better grasp of React, a renewed confidence that a change in career is possible, and a completed project! I genuinely don't think I could have found anyone better, would thoroughly recommend
him, and will continue to work with him.
