Testimonials

I am currently studying A level French and I am very pleased to be able to say that my French has improved more than I ever thought it would since starting tuition with Michel. In just over one month, I have improved by two whole grades, which has been evident from mock exam results in class at school. I thoroughly enjoy my lessons with Michel because I do not feel embarrassed to ask seemingly simple questions, which I feel I cannot ask in my class at school.
E. H. - Bromley

My daughter who is doing A level French was really struggling before we found Michel. He has really motivated her and has made lessons more interesting . She has 2 hour lessons but she is surprised how quick the time goes. I would highly recommend Michel. I can see he gets pleasure helping his pupils make progress. My daughter`s accent has also greatly improved with Michel`s help.
Mrs G - Croydon

I`ve just received my results and I`m very happy to tell you that I got an A for my French I-GCSE. Thank you for all your help because it really made a difference! - G - Bromley

Hi Michel,
Thank you for your help. I got A* in my French oral! - C. Sevenoaks School

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the sessions, they really helped me get a high grade for speaking and an overall A. Thank you so much - S - Orpington

Personal Description:
I am a freelance software developer and professional trainer who also provides one-to-one personal tuition services in computing, programming and IT related subjects. I took my first steps in programming as long ago as 1981, and have been a professional software developer since 1987. Along with the teaching and training side of my career, I develop software and web-sites for my clients, and I have been published several times in respected programming-journals.

I am also a BBC preferred-supplier, and am a professional life-member of the Association for Computing Machinery (founded in 1947 - the world's largest and most prestigious scientific and educational computing society). I have also published a book on the technicalities of e-book production.

The topics and languages I cover are: C/C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, SQL (MySQL in particular), Regular Expressions, HTML/CSS, Python, VB and assembly language, along with software design, implementation and development principles (what many people call Object Orientation and Software Engineering), and web site design and implementation.

Teaching Experience:
I have provided private-tuition services since 1992, and was a lecturer at Roehampton University from September 1998 to October 1999. I have provided professional training services since 1999, during which time I have delivered over 110 professional courses in programming and software design and development, for companies in the aircraft industry, computer gaming, banking, web development and the BBC.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to teaching and training pivots on the most important factor - passion for one's subject. I attempt to demonstrate to the student the power and beauty of what computing and programming involves, and place a firm emphasis on explaining concepts in the simplest and most day-to-day terms.

In the sphere of private tuition for children and young adults, I have found that working through past exam-papers with the pupil or student is an extremely effective way of helping the individual's understanding and exam performance to improve.

In the sphere of the professional training I provide, clients cite frequently my passion for the subject, the original and clear explanations that I use, and the depth of my technical understanding as the factors of note in their view of my services. Delegates on the professional courses I have delivered consistently give feedback scores of 85% and higher.

Subjects

Personal Description:
I have been tutoring students across London in all aspects of Computing since 2015. Having a PhD and a 1st Class Degree in Computer Science from Sheffield University, I have a great deal of experience in everything from general programming to academic research. I worked for a decade as an academic at both Sheffield and Surrey Universities. I have helped many students through their studies at GCSE and A-level, teaching AQA, OCR and CIE syllabuses. I am also happy to teach adult learners who are looking to expand their skillset.

For A-level and GCSE students it is worth beginning tuition as soon as possible, not just in the weeks running up to exams (although this can still help). This is particularly important for Computer Science because students should be learning a programming language in parallel with their studies. Some exam boards require a programming project as coursework, and it is important that this is completed as soon as possible to leave room for exam preparation.

I am happy to help degree students with theory and learning programming, but enquiries asking for help with an assignment for hand in next week are unlikely to be followed up.

I teach:

Programming - C, C++, C#, Java, Javascri pt, Python, Lua, php
Web Technology - HTML, CSS
Computing Theory - Data Structures, Algorithms, Vectors and Matrix Algebra, Computer Graphics, Animation

This is not an exhaustive list, so please do contact me even if your subject is not listed here.

I conduct lessons both in person, and remotely.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught seminars, graded coursework, helped design courses at degree level, and have also tutored students to PhD level.

I have been teaching students online mostly since the beginning of the pandemic. Many students are used to this type of teaching now, and the tools available have made it much more viable. Whilst teaching in person is, in my opinion, superior, the convenience of audio/video calls and the ability to reach more students from more varied backgrounds has been invaluable.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe that learning only happens by doing. Tailoring a course to the students individual requirements and the pace at which they can work.

Originally from London, I've lived here my whole life, which means I have a clear and easy-to-understand accent. I have studied Computer Science at Newcastle University for four years, achieving well above a first and received an award for graduating top of the year in my masters. With over 7 years of experience in the finance industry as a software developer, I bring real-world insights to our sessions, helping you bridge the gap between theory and practical application. I have recently quit in order to start my own business, which also allows me to be flexible with tutoring hours.

I very much enjoy teaching, as well as the satisfaction of helping a student reach their goal. I welcome students of all abilities, especially those who are enthusiastic about succeeding.

Teaching Experience:
I have been tutoring for over 10 years with students from GCSE all the way up to degree level Computer Science. I have also taken part in several mentor schemes where I supported younger students with their academic problems.

Tutoring Approach:
I have a very organised approach to tutoring, with small goals set per session, as well as a long term goal to work towards. However I understand this may be different for those who need help with specific pieces of work.

For younger students, I feel that relaxed but structured sessions are important, with small breaks so that focus is kept. I also ensure that the lessons are as fun as possible. I always work towards building a good relationship with my students, with many keeping in touch long after we finished, and encourage them to ask questions without any hesitation. I adapt my approach depending on my students` learning style as I feel this is the key to successful teaching. I spend a lot of time planning for sessions so that my student gets the very best out of each lesson.

Personal Description:
Hello! I'm Garrie, a tutor for Maths/Physics/Engineering/Chemistry/Computing at university and secondary school level, and one of the top-rated tutors in Scotland.

I am a full-time tutor, with a background in academic teaching and research, having previously held posts as Research Assistant / Teacher at the University of Glasgow's School of Engineering.

I graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2011 with a first class B.Eng. (Hons) in Aeronautical Engineering, finishing at the top of my class. I also previously conducted postgraduate research and teaching duties at the University of Strathclyde.

I am deeply passionate about my subject and the fields which underpin it. I enjoy sharing that passion with others, and helping them to comprehend these subjects in a way that is hopefully inspiring and interesting to them.

Teaching Experience:
Having tutored for over 15 years, I've helped 500+ students improve their grades and achieve the exam results they were hoping for.

I've helped students from across the globe, including high school students sitting Scottish SQA qualifications (Nat 5, Higher, Advanced Higher, HNC and HND, etc), AS/A levels from various UK exam boards (AQA, OCR, Pearson/Edexcel and WJEC Eduqas), and University students from Mathematics, Physics, Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Engineering departments across the UK. I also prepare students for entrance exams to top schools/universities, and help mature students prepare to return to education after a break.

In my previous roles I lectured course modules and supervised student projects in a top 100 global university in my role at the University of Glasgow's School of Engineering. I taught subjects of all levels across the engineering disciplines (aerospace, mechanical, electronics/electrical) - from foundation years, undergrad, up to postgrad MSc/Masters level, and have an excellent reputation and feedback within the School of Engineering.

I also taught in my role as a research student at the University of Strathclyde, providing tuition and guidance to Mechanical Engineering undergrads during lab demonstrations and tutorials.

Tutoring Approach:
Each student has individual needs and learning styles, and I aim to tailor my approach to match the student, and give them some control over how they want to be taught.

Students will have a say in what they learn from me, and how we approach it, helping me to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and structure a learning programme that complements them.

I intend for my students to gain a solid foundation and interest in their subject, and develop their own revision skills to improve their capacity for independent learning - it isn't just about passing the exam, but about nurturing an interest the subject and developing skills for the future.

I believe that the best way to learn is to enjoy yourself while doing it, so I aim to keep the sessions engaging for the student.

I am not a secondary school teacher, and do not teach like one. Feedback from clients suggests that the approach of many teachers doesn't resonate with all students, often failing to inspire them/their children to take an interest in a subject that could be interesting for them if they were introduced to it from the correct perspective. I aim to provide that missing perspective - expanding on what's taught in the classroom and filling in the gaps are left in the classroom.

Personal Description:
Hello! I'm a Senior Lecturer in Cybersecurity and Data Science at Cardiff University, with over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have worked with learners at a wide range of levels, from GCSE and A-Level through to higher education, helping them improve their understanding, build confidence and achieve their academic goals.

I specialise in Computer Science, Digital Technology, Cybersecurity, Python Programming and Data Science, with experience supporting both students who are just starting out in computing and those working on more advanced topics.

Over the years, I have helped many students improve their grades and develop confidence in subjects they previously found difficult. One of the most rewarding aspects of tutoring for me is seeing students realise that they are capable of much more than they initially thought. I have even worked with students who had not originally considered university but, after developing their confidence and interest in the subject, went on to pursue higher education.

My teaching style is friendly, patient and adaptable. I appreciate that every student learns differently, so I tailor my sessions to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. This might mean breaking challenging concepts into manageable steps, using real-world examples, working through problems together or finding a completely different way of explaining something until it clicks.

For school and college students, sessions can be tailored to their specific syllabus and exam board, including Computer Science and Digital Technology, with support for theory, programming, revision, coursework and exam technique.

For more advanced learners, I can provide support across a broader range of computing topics, including programming, cybersecurity, data science, computer systems and research and technical skills.

My aim isn't simply to help students achieve better grades. I want them to become more confident and independent learners, develop strong problem-solving skills and, hopefully, discover an interest in computing and technology that continues beyond their studies.

Teaching Experience:
2022-Present - Lecturer / Senior Lecturer, Cardiff University, School of Computer Science & Informatics

I teach across Computer Science, Cybersecurity and Data Science, working with students at undergraduate and postgraduate level. My role includes lectures, practical teaching, project supervision and supporting students in developing their technical, analytical, research and problem-solving skills.

2016-Present - Private Tutor

I have over 10 years of private tutoring experience and have successfully supported a wide range of learners, from GCSE and A-Level students to those undertaking more advanced study.

My tutoring experience covers Computer Science, Digital Technology, programming and wider computing topics. I have helped students prepare for examinations and assessments, strengthen their understanding of difficult concepts, develop their programming and problem-solving skills and become more confident and independent learners.

I am particularly proud that tutoring has sometimes had an impact beyond grades. Some students I have worked with have developed a much greater interest in computing and education through our sessions, with several deciding to pursue university when this had not previously been part of their plans.

2016-2018 - Teaching Assistant, Cardiff University, School of Computer Science & Informatics

Delivered undergraduate and postgraduate laboratories and tutorials across a range of Computer Science topics, including Python and Java Programming, Web Applications, Computer Architecture, Distributed and Cloud Computing, Data Visualisation with Python and group software projects.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring is based on a simple principle: every student learns differently.

I start by understanding the student's current level, what they are finding difficult and what they would like to achieve. From there, I tailor the sessions around their individual needs, whether that's filling gaps in knowledge, preparing for an assessment, improving programming skills or tackling more advanced concepts.

Depending on the student, I can provide support with:

- Computer Science and Digital Technology
- Python programming and computational thinking
- Cybersecurity and computer systems
- Data science and related technical skills
- Exam preparation and exam technique
- Coursework and project guidance
- Revision and consolidation of difficult topics
- Problem-solving and analytical skills
- More advanced computing concepts

A key part of my teaching is that I don't simply give students the answer. I help them understand how to approach and think through a problem so that they gradually become able to solve similar problems independently.

I also try to make computing relatable and interesting by connecting concepts to real technology and practical examples. I want students to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and saying when something doesn't make sense.

Ultimately, whether someone is preparing for their GCSEs or A-Levels, developing their programming skills or tackling more advanced computing topics, my aim is the same: to help them understand the subject, build confidence and become a more independent learner.
