Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

Since 2018, I have been deeply engaged in tutoring, beginning with Maths mentoring for GCSE students. In 2019-2020, I expanded to tutoring Computer Science and Maths in-person, specifically for GCSE and A-Level students. Adapting to the shift to online learning in 2020, I have since conducted over 1000 online lessons, honing my focus on A-Level Computer Science. From 2021 onwards, my expertise has been dedicated to guiding students through algorithmic problem-solving, programming concepts, and exam techniques. I am currently pursuing a PGCE in Computer Science with a scholarship, further solidifying my commitment to teaching excellence.

Tutoring Approach

I create a structured and engaging environment tailored for A-Level Computer Science students, focusing on key areas like programming, data structures, and algorithms. Lessons are highly interactive, using coding exercises, real-world examples, and exam-style questions to reinforce understanding. Each session builds upon core concepts, with regular practice and feedback to ensure confidence in applying theoretical knowledge to problem-solving.

Testimonials

Safin was a great tutor who helped me with A level statistics and mechanics. His lessons were always well planned and tailored to my capabilities. His explanations went further than just what was written in the textbook which really helped me gain a proper understanding of the subject. I highly recommend him.
