About Teddy
I've spent 18+ years building production software, from low-level systems programming and open-source contributions to high-performance financial platforms.
As a senior developer and lead interviewer, I've assessed candidates from graduate to lead level and mentored developers through promotions from junior to senior and lead positions.
I know what employers look for, what causes candidates to fail interviews, and which skills actually accelerate a software engineering career.
My background includes systems programming, C/C++, Python, C#, open-source development, and investment banking technology. I've contributed to major open-source projects such as the FreeBSD Kernel and OpenSSL and worked on software where reliability, performance, and correctness matter.
Today I also help developers use AI coding tools effectively. Tools such as Claude, Codex, and ChatGPT can dramatically increase productivity, but only when combined with solid engineering judgment. I teach students how to use AI to move faster while maintaining code quality, security, and maintainability.
I work with complete beginners, computer science students, career changers, and experienced developers preparing for senior and lead-level roles.

My lessons are tailored to your goals.
Whether you're learning your first programming language, preparing for technical interviews, building a portfolio, improving your software engineering skills, or aiming for promotion, we'll focus on practical results rather than theory alone.
I teach the full software development lifecycle: understanding requirements, designing solutions, writing code, testing, debugging, reviewing, and shipping reliable software.
For beginners and career switchers, I focus on building real projects that demonstrate skills employers value.
For working developers, I focus on advanced engineering practices, software design, performance, debugging, architecture, and career progression.
For developers using AI coding tools, I teach how to review AI-generated code critically. Generative AI often produces code that appears correct while hiding subtle bugs, performance issues, security vulnerabilities, and maintainability problems. Learning to identify and fix those issues is what separates professional engineers from prompt users.
Every lesson is adapted to your experience level, learning style, and career objectives.

• Python

Reviews
All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Teddy.
Perfect! Very knowledgeable and has a great personality and provided great and actionable advice to level up my C++ skills!
Perfect! I cannot recommend Teddy highly enough as a C++ tutor. His teaching approach is great; he focuses on learning the lower-level underpinnings of the topic before building up to the broader concepts. This approach really works, as I’ve noticed as he's been guiding me through building up a mini-standard library in C.
He sets interesting and relevant homework that reinforces the lessons, and he strikes a good balance between explaining parts and encouraging you to explore related topics on your own. Would highly recommend- Malachy is a dream student - extremely engaged, pro-active, curious about the content covered during lesson and always eager to go the extra mile to research and deepend his understanding.Teddy's response :
Perfect! As a parent, watching my child struggle at university and with exams was incredibly difficult. We knew he had the ability to succeed, but what he lacked was a teacher who could offer him the right guidance, not just in computer science concepts but in building confidence in his own abilities.
Teddy is not just a tutor; he's a mentor with vast industry experience. His depth of knowledge and real-world insights have provided my son with a perspective beyond textbooks, preparing him not only for exams but for future career opportunities. Teddy understands exactly what companies look for in developers, making his guidance invaluable.
Although still early, the aim is to prepare a portfolio together that will be used to apply for relevant jobs as well as mastering interview techniques. I have no doubt that Teddy will be invaluable in this process.
My son now approaches his studies with enthusiasm and clarity, but most importantly, he feels capable and excited about his future in the tech industry.
If you're looking for a tutor who can do more than just teach, but actually empower a student to believe in themselves, Teddy is the perfect choice.Perfect! Teddy has been amazing and very helpful throughout. My ask was unusual, and background different to your average coding learner.
He has been patient and understanding throughout the process, and has listened to my use-case for wanting to learn c# and general coding practices and built out lessons targeted at each of my needs as we've been building towards making a project of mine come to life. I would absolutely recommend Teddy any time!- Giles is a great programming student, eager to learn, improve, practice and constantly try new things and approaches.Teddy's response :
