Tutor Profile

James

Private Computer Science Tutor in Orpington

OCR A Level and GCSE Computer Science specialist. I am currently Head of Dept. for Computer Science at an outstanding, multi-award winning, independent sixth form college in Mayfair, London with 100% high grades (A* to B) at A Level. As a trained examiner for OCR, I can also give you the best exam tips to rapidly improve your progress.

Teaching Experience

I have over a decade of teaching experience at A Level and GCSE for Computer Science and IT related courses. My specialism is Computer Science. I also have five years experience teaching GCSE Maths. I have worked at a range of centres from large comprehensive colleges to very selective independent schools. I have been doing private tuition in addition to my teaching commitments for six years now and have found it incredibly rewarding and impactful for students.

Tutoring Approach

Every tutor session is uniquely tailored to your needs. We will start by diagnosing where your areas for development are, then I will plan a bespoke series of sessions, measuring progress at each step so you can see tangible improvements from the first session. As a trained examiner, I will give you extensive inside knowledge on how to unlocking complex mark schemes and score heavily on exam style questions. This is your key to success.

James is an excellent tutor, I had been struggling with grasping many topics within A-Level OCR Computer Science. However, James' approach to the curriculum enabled me to have a strong understanding of the topics I was struggling with, such as Little Man Computing, Diesktra's algorithm and Twos complement binary. I highly recommend James to anyone who is struggling with Computer Science.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind words Sam, I wish you all the best for the exams.
