Chris

Does this sound like you or your child?
I am wanting to develop my Computer Science, ICT or Maths knowledge at a personalised pace.
I feel I need to catch up, due to missing school during lockdown.
Don’t worry! I am here to help.

My aims and approach
Teaching is my passion and I am able provide personalised tutoring sessions to help develop your knowledge and understanding, no matter what your ability or the areas you require help with.
I have a logical and structured approach to problem solving, and a clear and friendly approach explaining it.
I make Computer Science and Maths enjoyable and I am able to relate the concepts, where possible, to real world examples.

How we can work together
Whether it’s a one-off lesson or a series of lessons, consider what you and your child will hope to achieve.
·Is it to develop or recap your understanding of a specific area?
·Is it to simplify the subject as a whole and try and de-tangle the myths?
·Is it to push on to the next level across the whole subject area?
Once we have established a starting point, I can then produce a personalised plan that can be modified to ensure you or your child gets the most out of each session.

Availability: Monday - Thursday 18:00 to 20:00.
