Information about James

I have been tutoring students across London in all aspects of Computing since 2015. Having a PhD and a 1st Class Degree in Computer Science from Sheffield University, I have a great deal of experience in everything from general programming to academic research. I worked for a decade as an academic at both Sheffield and Surrey Universities. I have helped many students through their studies at GCSE and A-level, teaching AQA, OCR and CIE syllabuses. I am also happy to teach adult learners who are looking to expand their skillset.

For A-level and GCSE students it is worth beginning tuition as soon as possible, not just in the weeks running up to exams (although this can still help). This is particularly important for Computer Science because students should be learning a programming language in parallel with their studies. Some exam boards require a programming project as coursework, and it is important that this is completed as soon as possible to leave room for exam preparation.

I am happy to help degree students with theory and learning programming, but enquiries asking for help with an assignment for hand in next week are unlikely to be followed up.

I teach:

Programming - C, C++, C#, Java, Javascri pt, Python, Lua, php
Web Technology - HTML, CSS
Computing Theory - Data Structures, Algorithms, Vectors and Matrix Algebra, Computer Graphics, Animation

This is not an exhaustive list, so please do contact me even if your subject is not listed here.

I conduct lessons both in person, and remotely.

Availability: all times

Willing to travel: 3 miles

Experience: I have taught seminars, graded coursework, helped design courses at degree level, and have also tutored students to PhD level.

My son in Y10 is taking weekly lessons with James. We do online lessons as we are located in Singapore. Has been working out well. James is helping my son with IGCSE computer science and is very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him.
