My lessons are designed to be interactive and tailored to your specific GCSE Computer Science goals. Whether you're aiming for Grade 9 or something else, our sessions follow a structured yet flexible format.

Typical Lesson Format:
Warm-Up: A quick recap of the last session
I introduce a new concept
Interactive phase. Collaborative whiteboard or a shared coding environment
You tackle a real GCSE past paper question or a challenge while I provide feedback.
We summarise, and I’ll set a task for you to try before our next session.

Tools
Replit for collaborative coding
Interactive Whiteboards: For drawing out larger ideas
Isaac Computer Science: For high-quality, free practice questions between lessons.

Active Learning: You won't just be listening. We'll go through past papers and see common errors through examiner reports and mark schemes
Exam Board Specifics: I align every session with your board—OCR, AQA, or Edexcel—using their pseudocode and mark schemes, so you know exactly which keywords to use for full marks.
Debugging Mindset: Instead of just giving you the answer, I'll give you live feedback by asking directed questions to help you find and fix errors by yourself

I don’t want our lessons to be a one-way lecture. We’re going to do some real work.
Instead of just memorising basic facts for a test, we’re going to build something for you.
Want a script that automatically converts binary? Let's build it.
Want to create a mini-text adventure game to show your friends? We’ll make it happen.
When the exam rolls around, you won't be sweating the questions because you’ve already used those concepts to build real, working projects.
