Testimonials#

“My computer science teacher for 4+ years and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. He was knowledgeable, adaptive and caring - matching not only the level but also the teaching methods to the class he was teaching, based on their abilities and learning styles. He also supplemented our classroom learning with blogs, books, shows and podcasts to listen to outside of the classroom to broaden our knowledge and understanding, and was genuinely passionate about the subject. He was the teacher that recommend summer schools and careers for me to look into, which has led to me becoming a cyber incident responder, through an apprenticeship I would never have know about if not for him. For anyone needing help with, or interesting in computer science, IT or any computing related subjects there is no one I could recommend higher.” — A-Level Student

" I just wanted to send you my personal thanks for all your help, support, guidance AND patience over the past 18 months or so. You have helped my son enormously to gain confidence in Computer Science as when he first started with you he had started to struggle in his transition from GCSE to A-level. Despite not being able to do Maths A-level, you have made sure that he could stay in the game all the way to sitting the exams! I know he truly valued your sessions and, with your support, he has stuck at this subject and been better prepared than he ever could have been without them." — Parent of A-level student

“An expert practitioner with a track record of great results and students who go on to work in highly regarded related fields.” — Teaching professional
