I grew up programming early computers such as the ZX Spectrum, and was writing simple games from the age of seven. I worked for 13 years as a programmer in the video game industry, including on games that have sold millions of copies. Since leaving the industry and becoming a tutor, I've tutored over 250 students at all levels. As well as tutoring GCSE, A-level and degree level Computing/Computer Science, I can help both kids and adults learn how to make games, as well as teaching general programming skills.
For those starting from scratch, I tend to start with the practical side of computer science (i.e. programming) and mix in in the theory as we go along, as I believe seeing a tangible program output helps keep the student engaged. I have found that my experience in the games industry has helped provide examples which can illustrate the topics I'm describing.
My sessions are typically 45 minutes, which means that the fee per session will be 3/4 of the hourly rate shown.

Andrew has taught my son over the last year. He is very diligent in his teaching methods, addresses any misunderstandings in the lessons immediately and always clearly explains the subject matter . He is very organised , punctual and committed.
His teaching has been very beneficial as my son’s grades improved significantly over the course of the year.Would definitely recommend him !Andrew is an excellent tutor. I have made huge progress since starting work with Andrew last year. It seems like a different life! When we started, I was teaching Latin and French in Croydon. Now thanks to Andrew's help, I am now working as a Front-End Web Developer in Brighton at a well-known web development company. I am absolutely thrilled with the work we have done which started with bash commands and the terminal, then developing ruby and Object Oriented Design, JavaScript, CSS and problem solving. I would certainly recommend Andrew as an excellent tutor who enables outstanding progress and success for his students.
Dante learned a lot from Andrew about Computer Science. He felt that Andrew was very patient and supportive and guided him through the various A-level topics for this subject. He furthermore provided exercises for Dante to complete during the lesson and discussed their outcome which was really beneficial.
