About Christopher
Hello! I’m Chris, a qualified teacher and experienced software engineer with over six years of industry expertise. My career has spanned developing scalable applications, leading projects in start-ups, and exploring the latest advancements in AI and software design. I work four days a week in software, ensuring I stay up-to-date with the best industry practices, and I dedicate my spare time to teaching because I genuinely enjoy it.
Before becoming a software engineer, I spent over five years as a physics and science teacher, honing my ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and engaging way. Now, I bring that same approach to software engineering, combining practical experience with sound principles like DRY, SOLID, and maintainable coding practices.
I’m also passionate about entrepreneurship, with experience launching products, working with Agile and Kanban methodologies, and designing user-friendly interfaces. My lessons are hands-on and focus on building real-world skills, whether you’re a beginner or looking to take your coding to the next level.
For those who may find my rates challenging, I occasionally offer “pay as you feel” lessons when I have spare time. If this could help you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—we can try to figure something out. Let’s work together to achieve your goals in software engineering!

My lessons are designed to be practical, hands-on, and tailored to your needs. Software engineering is best learned by doing, so we'll focus on building real projects together. I use pair programming techniques to help you learn by actively solving problems, writing code, and iterating together.
Our sessions will emphasize sound engineering principles, focusing on maintainability, extensibility, and scalability. I'll guide you through applying DRY and SOLID principles, navigating trade-offs in software design, and using tools like Git effectively. We’ll also explore when and how to use frameworks, ensuring you're equipped with the latest technologies and best practices.
In addition to technical skills, I’ll help you develop team collaboration techniques, including working within Scrum, Agile, or Kanban environments. We’ll also touch on UI/UX design and creating maintainable, consistent CSS for professional, user-friendly applications.
Lesson Details:
Length: Lessons typically last 1 hour, but I’m happy to adjust based on your preferences and goals.
Who the lessons are for: These lessons are ideal for anyone interested in software engineering, from beginners to those looking to refine their skills or transition into a professional role. Entrepreneurs wanting to launch products or students exploring programming are also welcome.
You will receive lesson notes after each lesson and (optional) areas to focus on before the next lesson.
With over six years of industry experience as a software engineer, combined with my background as a qualified teacher, I’m here to help you learn, build, and grow as a developer. Let’s turn your ideas into well-crafted software!

His background as a teacher really complements his computer science knowledge. You end up with a very well-rounded tutor who can teach most computer science topics very well. I would know since he taught me a lot!
Great teacher, who makes learning fun.

Details
My hourly rate for private software engineering tuition is £50, which covers personalized lesson planning, notes from lessons and (optional) areas to focus between lessons.
While I’m primarily offering one-on-one sessions, I’m open to organizing group lessons at half price (£25 per person per hour), provided everyone is focused on similar topics and has a comparable level of understanding. Group lessons would have no more than 3 students, as I think quality suffers in larger class sizes. This is a great option if you have friends or classmates who’d like to study together!
I understand that tutoring can be a financial commitment, and I teach because I truly enjoy it, not solely for the income. If your financial situation makes regular lessons challenging, please reach out. Occasionally, I may offer “pay as you feel” sessions when my schedule allows, which gives you flexibility to contribute what you can &/or what you think the lesson is worth.
If you’re interested in discussing a tailored plan or have any questions about lessons, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
