Josh

Hello! My name is Josh, and I am a Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Southampton. I am the module lead for a number of Engineering modules which include teaching programming, electricity and electronics and professional skills and values. I regularly teach and tutor Electronics and Computer Science subjects to GCSE and A-Level students with experience in all the exam boards (AQA, IGCSE, OCR etc).

The service I offer include:
KS3 & GCSE & A-Level Computer Science
GCSE & A-Level Electronics
Personal statements
UCAS applications

Just a little more about my employment history - I was previously a Lecturer in Engineering and Programming at the University of Portsmouth. I completed my PhD studies in Electronic Engineering at the University of Kent after completing my BEng in Computer Systems Engineering. My research interests are in education pedagogy and biometric systems (facial recognition, fingerprint interaction, etc.) when investigating performance issues and human factors.

I have over nine years of experience in the teaching field. My expertise lies in electronic systems, and programming languages such as C, C++, C#, Python, Visual Basic, Google App scri pt (Javascri pt), and Matlab. I also teach (some) Maths, ICT and Academic skills.

I have years of experience teaching both young and adult learners in a variety of environments. Over the last few years, I have tutored a range of subjects on different exam boards such as the Cambridge IGCSEs, AQA and other exam boards.

Just a little bit about me, I am very friendly, approachable, and caring when it comes to the study of all my students. I enjoy keeping fit by running and going to the gym and participating in outdoor adventures such as hiking, snowboarding and cycling when I can.

Availability: Weekdays - typically after-school
Weekends - anytime

Please note that I do prefer to teach from home during my Term Time hours (Sep-Dec and Jan-March). Outside of these term time hours, I will be more flexible in my driving arrangements.

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: I am currently employed as a Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Southampton. I have over eight years of experience privately tutoring students.

Previously, I have been employed as an Academic Tutor at the University of Kent. I held the position of Academic Ambassador (DBS certified) where I have previously tutored A-Level Mathematics, Physics and IT at a number of academies around the Kent area. I was also a tutor on the Step Up program, a course that is delivered to Year 12/13 students to encourage applications to university.

Prior to university, I attended the Norton Knatchbull Boys Grammar School in Ashford and as such, I had passed the 11+ exam. Throughout my time as a secondary school student, I tutored some year six students in mathematics, non-verbal and verbal reasoning tests, which I am also able to teach.

DBS Check: Yes
