About Simon

Simon started his teaching career as a music teacher, but was forced to change tack through a hearing impairment. He went back to university to Computer Science graduating with first class honours. He taught A Level Computer Science for 15 years at a sixth form college in Cambridge, and also co-founded the Computing At School group advocating for Computer Science in the classroom and supporting teachers tasked with teaching this new subject. Simon was awarded the Kavli Education Medal by The Royal Society in 2020 for his contribution to Computer Science Education.

About the lesson

A variety of techniques are employed through explanations, guidance, questioning and recall using largely originally created resources. Challenges are set for both programming and theory. The emphasis being on encouraging the student to grasp the fundamental concepts of the subject and learn how to apply them constructively as they progress in their understanding of the subject. Any programming language is accepted though Python, C#, C or Java preferred.

Perfect! Simon is a very experienced tutor. He guided my son to complete his CS NEA project under great time pressure. I was very impressed by how Simon helped Benjamin to set priorities and to regain confidence to complete the project independently. Highly recommended!

It was a delight to meet with Helen's son, Benjamin. He was looking for support with his A level project and followed all the advice he was given. I look forward to working with him again in the run up to the exams
