Information about Ernie
My name is Ernie. I am an Electronic and Software Systems Engineer at Jaguar Land Rover.
I have a strong academic background I graduated from Loughborough University in 2013 with a First Class MEng (hons) degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and have since undertaken a number of Automotive Technology MSc modules at Warwick University.
Through my studies and my work as a lead engineer at one of the UK`s leading engineering firms, I have developed excellent technical skills. My key areas of expertise are software engineering, digital electronics design, and systems engineering. Additionally, outside of work I am passionate about mobile app and game development. I am proficient in a range of programming languages including C++, C# (desktop and Unity3D), Java (desktop and Android), Python, and Objective-C/Swift (iOS).
I have also developed excellent "soft" skills and am comfortable communicating with diverse audiences. I regularly engage with board members at JLR and have been praised for my delivery of presentations to over 200 colleagues, but equally am happy chatting with students at recruitment events. If the student wishes, I can incorporate elements of communication skills, presentation preparation/delivery and project management into the lessons. These are particularly important if the student is at GCSE/A-Level as these are skills that will help them stand out to universities and future employers.
Please feel free to get in touch if you wish to discuss your requirements.

I had a brilliant Python tutor session from Ernie! He asked exactly what I was looking for before the session, researched and prepared a plan for it and executed the lesson in a knowledgable but simplified manner. He is clearly very passionate about what he does and is more than willing to pass on his interest and understanding to others. Following the lesson he has sent me information to remind me and summarise what was carried out which has made it much easier to continue learning. I would highly recommend Ernie as a patient, thoughtful and hard-working tutor! Thanks!

Very quick to respond, and was able to provide a session at a time that suited me. Ernie was fantastic at explaining programming concepts and has helped me to complete a project i have struggled with for a while. Excellent subject knowledge, friendly and supportive. I would definitley recommend.
Tutors Response :
Thank you Danielle. I am glad I could be of assistance. I would happily tutor you again in the future.

Ernie has delivered 2 half day experience workshops for my daughter Rebecca. The first workshop was an introduction to game programming and the second workshop was an introduction to Arduino programming.
The purpose of the workshops were to introduce Rebecca to these subjects before starting her degree course.
On both workshops Ernie delivered clear instruction and plenty of participation which left Rebecca fully engaged with what she was doing. Rebecca can`t wait to start her degree course and is already practicing her new skills with the information and hardware that Ernie supplied.
During her course Rebecca will be calling on Ernie to support her should she have any difficulties understanding her course material.
Thanks Ernie, you have been invaluable so far and with the knowledge that your support is at hand Rebecca is so much more confident in taking on her course.
Tutors Response :
Mark,
Thank you very much for your kind feedback.
Many people who know me professionally or personally will be aware that I am passionate about inspiring people to enter the Science, Technologies, Engineering and Maths fields of study and associated career paths. I am glad that I had the opportunity to help kick-start Rebecca`s journey in the exciting world of computer science.
She has been an excellent student and I am sure she will do very well.I would gladly assist with her studies if necessary in the future.
All the best to you both,
Ernie
