About Matthew
Bringing code to life — helping students think, create, and succeed in Computer Science.
I’m a qualified Computer Science and ICT teacher with 23 years of teaching experience, helping students of all abilities develop confidence, creativity, and skill in Computing. I specialise in GCSE Computer Science, offering engaging, interactive online lessons that make coding — especially Python programming — clear, enjoyable, and achievable.
I have 18 years of experience teaching in an independent SEMH school for 11–16-year-old boys, where I also held several leadership and mentoring roles — including Senior Teacher, Head of Department for Computer Science & ICT, Student Teacher Mentor, ICT Coordinator, and IT Technician. These roles have given me a deep understanding of how to teach effectively, adaptively, and with patience.
Over the past six years, I’ve worked as a full-time online tutor, providing lessons both live and on-demand through platforms like Zoom and Canvas (LMS). Canvas allowed me to create assignments, host discussions, and offer detailed feedback using recorded video, chat, and written comments — giving students continuous support and structure.
I work from home and offer flexible lesson times every day from 11am onwards — making my tutoring ideal for home-schooled students or those seeking daytime learning. My consistent routine (including a two-hour morning puppy walk!) ensures I’m fully energised and focused for every lesson.
I have a strong passion for Computer Programming (Coding) and extensive experience with Python, GameMaker, Scratch, SQL, MIT App Inventor, and the BBC Micro:bit.
A few years ago, I designed, programmed, and published my own mobile game — One Lap Reloaded — to inspire my students and demonstrate what can be achieved through creativity and perseverance. I’m now in the process of modernising and redeveloping it for a new release planned for 2026.
I’m approachable, supportive, and enthusiastic about helping students enjoy Computer Science. My interests in gaming, sport, music, science, comedy, and movies often help me make lessons relatable and engaging, while building a positive rapport quickly.
Many of my students have gone on to improve their grades and develop genuine confidence in their computing abilities — something I’m always proud to see.

I provide free support between sessions via Email or Zoom whenever students need extra help, reassurance, or practice.
My lessons combine clear explanations with plenty of hands-on coding and problem-solving. I use tools such as screen sharing, coding puzzle sites, Kahoot quizzes, instructional videos, programming software, and interactive revision platforms. This mix keeps learning fun, practical, and challenging, helping students strengthen understanding through exploration and creativity.
I use high-quality audio and video equipment to ensure lessons are smooth and interactive, and I tailor my approach to suit each student’s learning style and pace. My aim is to make every session feel achievable but never dull.
Having taught a wide range of students, I know how to pitch lessons at the right level — challenging enough to inspire progress, but never overwhelming.
Above all, I want students to see Computer Science as creative, logical, and exciting — a subject full of possibilities for the future.

Worked with matty for the last 18 months cant fault the guy honest and trustworthy
I’ve worked with Matti for over two years, he’s a really great tutor and very caring. He’s kind and patient- He takes a lot of pride in his work and is always willing to support both pupils and staffs. I would 100% recommend working with him
I loved learning with Matthew, he is patient, educator, with a pleasant humor. Taking lessons with Matthew is a pleasure. I recommend him without hesitation as a teacher.
DomiMatthew is not only a great teacher, but also a great teacher trainer. He was my mentor during my time as a trainee teacher and even though that was over a decade ago, I still use the lessons and theories he passed on to me on a regular basis. His subject knowledge is excellent and his teaching style fits the subject perfectly. Dan Evans, Head of Computing at Tameside College.
Matthew is an absolute professional who prides himself on being able to successfully teach all ages and levels to a high standard. He has an excellent history of being able to teach pupils with varying abilities as well as complex behavioral, social and emotional difficulties and/or high achieving pupils. He takes such pride in all aspects of teaching and is an extremely likeable and pleasant teacher.
Mathew is a great teacher , I have been in his lessons whilst he is teaching. Great atmosphere, it really is. When I use to be a keyworker and I would bring my class into his lessons, they loved making apps and creating games from scratch, step by step instructions would be shown through the big board and all the children would engage in the activities.
Mathew is great at what he does, he’s very clued up and intellectual and has a very good teaching style that caters for everyone, would recommend!
I worked with Matthew for 4 years and in that time I came to recognise that he was not only entirely competent in his professional field but also nurturing, funny, caring, trustworthy and patient to a fault. He really cared about the pupils he taught and helped those with the lowest esteem to recognise their potential. I would recommend Matthew 100% to not only develop academic potential, but a well rounded pupil.
A very approachable person, with perfect personality with a huge passion with what he does and he’s also very good at it! He taught me in school 5 years ago! Would highly recommend ️️️️️
I’ve worked with Matthew for over a decade, during this time he has consistently delivered outstanding lessons to pupils with a wide range academic abilities, ensuring they access the breadth of the curriculum and reach their potential.
Matthew taught me whilst I was at High School and really helped and pushed me towards an A grade in IT. This paved the way for me to now have been a Web Developer for 4 years. Would not have got here without him and wouldn't of wished upon anyone else to teach me.
I worked as a teacher alongside Matthew for a number of years. He's an outstanding teacher with excellent subject knowledge. He's very patient and able to break down complex topics to his students to maximize learning. I'd recommend him to anyone
Matti is an excellent teacher with years of experience. He has worked with very complex young people. He always finds a way to engage them and ensure they enjoy education.
First class teacher with excellent subject knowledge. I would recommend to anyone.
I've know Matti for many years and I can honestly say he is the kindest, most helpful man I know. He is a very clever man with a wonderful trustworthy attitude. He has always gone above and beyond to help people any way he can. You couldn't ask for a better teacher. Dedicated, caring, compassionate and passionate about what he does.
