Head of Computing Department & PhD Computer Science Tutor | Oxford & UCL Graduate Helping Students Excel

Peter is a helpful tutor who spends time explaining things making me fully understand. He is patient and pushes me to do my best in every lesson.

Sir Peter is a teacher who’s passionate in teaching and learning. During my time with him, not only did he explain the fundamentals of IT and Cybersecurity to me, but he got me engaged on a career path I know nothing about. He spends his time understanding each student’s best learning style, incorporates it, and always makes time for any inquiries and additional lessons. It is thanks to Peter that I am fully prepared to take cybersecurity in university and as a career. He imparts his knowledge with utmost patience and clarity, and is always eager to learn and explore the realm of computing. I am very proud that he is my teacher.

Dr Peter is a great teacher, who helped me excel through my GCSEs and Is currently helping me in my b-tecs and A levels. Very clear cut presentations and lesson slides, very supportive not only in education but just in general life. Mr Gilbert makes the impossible seem possible. I have started coding classes with him, and went in with the mindset that I wouldn't be able properly learn to code however with his help and structured lessons, he help me understand programming using python going step by step. Honestly I have never seen a more involved tutor many times throughout my GCSEs he came around to my house and done properly set up mock tests where he timed me and tested my abilities and considering he lives very far away from me it was very shocking to see his genuine care for my education and my wellbeing. I have been with Dr Gilbert for just over 2 years now and I can say there is no t another teacher/tutor like him.

He is always supportive, patient, and willing to help whenever I have questions. He has also given me great guidance with my university applications, and I really appreciate all his support and encouragement. As my Cyber Security teacher, he explains every topic clearly and makes the subject easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. Thank you, Peter, for all the hard work you have done for us throughout our college journey. I truly appreciate everything, and I highly recommend him as a teacher.

Dr Peter Gilbert was both my Teacher and my Mentor during my 2 years during Information Technology studies at City Of Westminster College, he was one of the best teachers as he explains everything thoroughly and comprehensive for every student, always has the enthusiasm to not let any student fall behind his classes.

Great teacher. He is very knowledgeable, goes through topics thoroughly, and makes them easy to understand. He also has a great attitude. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Peter is incredibly engaging when it comes to his style of teaching. He regularly encourages me to explore more of the subject outside of lesson, driving my curiosity forward. He is down-to-earth and willing to help students become better learners and better people.

Dr. Peter is hands down one of the best teachers ever! I had the privilege of being taught by him at City of Westminster College, and his dedication to his students is incredible. He makes learning so engaging and truly cares about everyone's success. If you get the chance to take his class, you're incredibly lucky!

I have learned a lot from Dr. Peter Gilbert. He always ensures his students absorb all the information they need and challenges us with questions to test our knowledge in different situations and different learning methods. He makes sure all his students with different learning styles can also learn everything as well as everyone else. It was an honour being one of his students.

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and dedicated tutor.

I’ve studied with Dr. Peter Gilbert for the past three years at City of Westminster College, and he has genuinely been one of the best tutors I’ve ever had. He has an incredible ability to break down even the most difficult topics and make them actually understandable, whether it was Cybersecurity, Data Analysis, programming, or coursework. He’s always patient, supportive, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure students succeed. What really stands out is how much he cares. He doesn’t just teach the subject, but he helps on building your confidence, pushes you to do better, and genuinely invests in your progress. Over the last three years, he’s had a huge impact on my growth both academically and personally. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I was honoured to receive the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Award, an achievement that means a lot to me and one that I don't think would have been possible without his support. I’m really grateful for everything he’s done an
