Computer Science and maths for Computer Science Intro -> University admission
From 28 £ /h
I have a strong background in computational physics research and experience teaching both math and computer science at a broad range of levels.
This class is intended to form a firm foundation in Computer Science and the assosciated areas of maths for students intending to study CS at A level or university. Optionally, I offer C and Python coding tutorials and use code examples to help students who want to develop their techical skills. Beyond technical skiills, it is of the utmost importance to me that students develop the most important skill that a computer scientist can have - logic. Students might not learn about every area of programming or every niche language but this class is intended to equip students with the skills to solve entirely novel problems easily.

About Me
Why does it take more force to open a fridge than a cupboard? Why is the sky blue? (By the way the answer to the question is that air in the fridge is cooled, reducing its volume and reducing pressure in the fridge. The fridge has lower pressure and a force acts on the fridge door.) These are the kind of science questions I love to explore. I am a Cambridge Natural Sciences student with an affinity for and a desire to teach all manner of science and mathematics.

I am a physical Natural Sciences student at Cambridge looking to share my love of science with intellectually curious students. I seek to make science fun and accessible for my students. Having achieved outstanding results at GCSE (12 grade 9s) and A-level (4A* 1A), I know what it takes to prepare for public exams and I want to help my students to get a headstart with their preparation. I teach maths, chemsitry and physics to students of all ability levels.
My lessons are individually tailored but follow the general strucutre below:
GCSE/IGCSE:
Lessons are primarily content/revision focused. Homework follows closely the content of the lessons and I provide further reivision resources and notes after each lesson.
A-level and University preparation:
I assign problem sets for homework due 5pm the night before a lesson. My lessons in physics and chemistry focus on making the content intuitive, so students are understanding rather than memorising. Similarly, maths lessons are taught always from first principles to help students to understand the origins of the techniques we use. The beginning of each lesson is for review of questions from the problem set. These problem sets contain questions from the relevant exam board as well as extension questions to encourage students to think in more depth about the topics we cover. Homework is always marked in advance of the upcoming lesson.
Every few weeks I ask my students to sit a test tailored to their examboard so that we can track the progress we are making.
This class is intended to deliver academic results, whilst ensuring students enjoy my lessons.
