Information about Ben
Can teach both AQA and OCR Computer Science a-level/GCSE.
Check out my teaching style on YouTube channel iCodeWithBen https://www.youtube/@icodewithben
Experienced Professional Computer Science A-level/GCSE teacher and programmer of Apple iPhone apps. I can teach you to code and how to pass the exams and coursework to get top grades.
I have been programming computers since I was 12 teaching myself BASIC. Since then I have learned lots of other languages, developed websites, apps and games. Coming from a family of teachers, I feel I have an ability to empathise and understand students needs and I have the patience to sit with them until they understand.
My first approach is to sit with the students and work out what their goals are. What do they know, where do they want to get to. I then aim to identify their areas of expertise and areas that need development and work on a learning plan with them. When it comes to teaching programming I am patient, clear and use relatable examples to explain complex topics. I also give students (fun) homework to practice coding and the topics we have covered.

Ben has been superb in assessing my daughters needs and coming up with an action plan. She says his lessons are fun and informative and have improved her knowledge and confidence considerably. She is absolutely buzzing after each lesson and feeling much more confident and prepared for the approaching exams. Would highly recommend Ben.

A very inspiring tutor, Ben couldnt have been more helpful. He has worked hard to establish my sons needs and created lessons exactly suited to his level. My son finds Ben easy to relate to, friendly, patient and very good at explaining concepts my son wasnt able to understand in the school environment. Ben has given my son a renewed interest in computer science, a subject he was really struggling with at school and as a parent I feel very reassured by Ben and think he makes an excellent tutor.
