C/C++
C#
Python
Java
JavaScript
Lua
HTML/CSS

Programming languages in which I have some experience:

Training languages such as BASIC, Pascal/Delphi, LOGO, Scratch and MIT App Inventor

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.
