I’ve been teaching IGCSE Computer Science for eight years, with most of my students coming to me for help with programming and exam preparation. I’m particularly keen on algorithms and pseudocode, as these are often where students lose marks unnecessarily. Lessons usually involve a short explanation followed by plenty of practice, debugging and past-paper questions.

Hi, I’m a Computer Science tutor with five years of experience working with IGCSE students. Coding is the part I enjoy teaching most, especially Python, because students can actually see their ideas working on screen. I also spend quite a bit of time on trace tables and logic. Before exams, we switch heavily towards timed questions and learning exactly what each question is asking for.

I started tutoring while working as a software developer and have now taught IGCSE Computer Science for six years. My lessons bring a programmer’s perspective to topics such as algorithms, databases and Boolean logic. I like students to work through problems themselves rather than simply watch me solve them. Closer to exams, I use past papers to identify recurring mistakes and gaps in technical vocabulary.

Computer systems are my favourite part of IGCSE Computer Science to teach, particularly processors, memory and data representation. I’ve taught the subject for over nine years and have worked with students at very different starting points. I use diagrams and small examples for the theory, then move into exam questions. For programming topics, students normally write and test code during the lesson rather than just discuss it.

I tutor IGCSE Computer Science and have a background in cybersecurity, so topics such as networks, internet technologies and security tend to become some of my liveliest lessons. I’ve been teaching privately for four years. I’m fairly relaxed in sessions, but I’m particular about technical terminology because vague answers can cost marks. I also give students plenty of practice reading and correcting unfamiliar code.

My route into tutoring came through software engineering, and I’ve spent the past seven years helping IGCSE Computer Science students with both theory and programming. I especially enjoy teaching algorithm design because there is rarely just one useful way to approach a problem. I ask students to explain their reasoning as they work. That makes it much easier to spot whether the difficulty is coding, logic or understanding the question.
