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.
