So why do you benefit from choosing me as your tutor? Well, I have achieved results in the top 1% for GCSE Computer Science and A Level since 2016. Each year has seen a GCSE class average grade of an 8, with 50% of grades usually a grade 9 with a special measure of progress called Subject Progress Index (SPI) being around +1.55 for my classes. To those not conversant with 'edu-terms', this means that a student of similar ability (based on end of KS2 SAT scores at age 11) in my class will achieve +1.55 grades higher than a similar student nationally in the UK. This means a student who achieves a grade 6 nationally is likely to achieve an 8 if they were in my class, the student who averages just over a grade 7 nationally is likely to achieve a grade 9 in my class, the grade 5 student would be likely to achieve a grade 7. An SPI value of +1.55 means that out of over 3450 secondary schools in England and Wales, my classes for Computer Science perform at around number 20, considerably inside the top 1%. That is why you benefit from choosing me as a tutor.

At A Level, my results are always either ALPS 1, (ALPS is how schools measure A Level performance) meaning the class perform inside the top 1% in the Country, or ALPS 2, with the class performing inside the top 10% nationally, usually around the top 3-8% of cohorts. Given my background, I have the ability to help students grasp the wide range of algorithms needed to secure the higher grades at A Level, in an engaging way, explaining advanced concepts in simple terms. This really helps accelerate understanding for my students.
