Jeff Amponsah

Currently a Head of Computer Science at a prestigious independent school in Kent, with over 21 years of experience teaching GCSE and A Level Computer Science and IT. I am a confident, patient, and down-to-earth teacher who is passionate about helping students achieve their full potential.

Alongside my teaching experience, I also work as a GCSE examiner, which gives me valuable insight into exam techniques, mark schemes, and what examiners are looking for in high-scoring answers. This enables me to guide students effectively on how to structure and answer exam questions to maximise their marks.

Tutoring Approach
My teaching approach is clear, supportive, and straightforward. Computer Science is a content-heavy subject with many challenging concepts, so I focus on building understanding through structured explanations and regular practice.

I use the FACE strategy to support student progress:
- Feedback – providing constructive guidance to improve performance
- Assess – identifying strengths and areas for development
- Challenge – encouraging students to think critically and deepen understanding
- Engage – keeping lessons interactive and motivating, both online and face-to-face

My aim is to build students’ confidence, strengthen their subject knowledge, and help them achieve excellent results in their examinations.
