About Zishan
I'm a computer engineering student who not too long ago was also a complete beginner to programming. Computers in general felt intimidating and unwelcoming as if reserved for experts only. But every expert was once a beginner. And I am eager to show you that programming isn't that hard. All you have to do - and what I had to do - was get started. Just like any other field, small but consistent efforts to learn and improve go a long way and soon enough you might be that expert everyone is in awe of!
Rest assured that I get it. I remember being a beginner. I remember the concepts that initially felt confusing and the questions that naturally came to mind when learning them. This allows me to anticipate common difficulties and explain ideas in a way that makes sense from a beginner's perspective.

My teaching style is centred around understanding why something exists before learning how to use it. Rather than simply presenting a new programming concept and asking you to memorise the syntax, we'll start with a problem that needs solving. We'll then explore how programmers naturally arrive at that concept as a solution to the problem. So instead of learning a collection of seemingly arbitrary rules, you'll build an intuitive, deep understanding of what each tool is actually for — from your very first lesson.
My 2 teaching guarantees:
No overwhelming technical language - I explain concepts through simple stories and relatable problems, using intuitive language rather than unnecessary jargon.
Story first, syntax second - We start with the problem and understand the idea behind the solution. Once the idea makes sense, the Python syntax follows naturally.
Recommendations

Zishan is a friend of mine from secondary school. He used to help me out with programming during computer science lessons, as it was something I always struggled a bit with. He would teach me in a way that helped me intuitively understand topics like functions and classes. He would do this by going through a real-life problem with me, and the solution would be the topic being taught.
Before I started with Zishan I had very little python experience. His explanations and smart use of analogies to teach each concept helped me build a deep understanding of programming. I really enjoyed how he taught the problem before the solution. It meant I immediately internalised why the tool I was learning for that lesson was useful and what sort of problems it is utilised for. Lastly, from the very first lesson he gave fun exercises to apply the newly learnt knowledge and ensure I’d truly grasped what was being taught.
Would 100% agree with anyone who is considering learning python with Zishan thay they are making the right choice!Professional, patient, and an incredible educator are the top 3 things I think of Zishan to be. As an old friend, I have seen the countless times he has been able to teach fellow classmates, limning concepts in ways that I wouldn't have been able to picture. His resilient nature and perceptual mind make it hard for problems to linger, and his ingenuity continues to surprise me every now and then. I remember a time during GCSEs when we were discussing a coding question that had a lot of people stumped. His clear explanation and step-by-step dissection allowed us to finally understand the question and even helped with other questions we had. I believe Zishan is a perfect tutor and would 100% recommend him to anyone.
I highly recommend Zishan as a Python tutor. He is knowledgeable, patient, and able to explain programming concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand way. He takes the time to make sure you genuinely understand the fundamentals rather than just memorising solutions, and he adapts his teaching to suit your level and learning style.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to strengthen your Python skills, Zishan is an excellent tutor. He is approachable, supportive, and genuinely committed to helping his students improve. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and effective Python tutor.My name is Arjun and I am a friend of Zishan. He is extremely patient, helpful and best of all really friendly. He really helped me understand GCSE Computer Science so that it finally clicked for me and I am sure he can do the same for anyone else who needs help
