About Joshua

I'm a final-year Computer Science student at Durham University, on track for a First-Class degree, with seven years of tutoring experience across GCSE, IGCSE, A-level, IB Diploma and Scottish Highers Computer Science specifications.

My specialism is the coursework components most tutors avoid: the OCR and AQA A-level NEA, the IB Computer Science Internal Assessment, and the IB Extended Essay in CS. These are where students lose the most marks and where structured technical guidance makes the biggest difference. I've supported students through the full cycle, from problem identification and stakeholder analysis through design documentation, iterative development and evaluation, and I'm comfortable working in Python, Java, C#, JavaScript and SQL alongside whichever language your school happens to use.

Outside of Superprof, I tutor professionally through Edumentors and TutorChase. I also spent my placement year as a Technical Project Manager at Procter & Gamble, working on production software and AI systems. That industry experience matters for two reasons. It lets me bring real engineering practice into A-level and IB lessons (version control, testing, requirements gathering - the things examiners actually reward in NEA and IA documentation), and it means I can show students how the syllabus connects to actual careers when motivation gets thin in revision season.

For students who also need Maths support, I cover GCSE, A-level, Further Maths and Scottish Highers Mathematics under a separate listing.

Lessons are tailored to the spec you're actually sitting (OCR H446, AQA 7517, OCR GCSE J277, AQA GCSE 8525, IB CS HL or SL, Scottish Higher), the topics where you're losing marks, and your timeline. Most sessions follow roughly this shape:
- A short check-in on the past week (tests, classwork that didn't land, coursework progress if relevant)
- A focused block on whichever theory or programming area we agreed to work on
- Past-paper or exam-style questions worked through together using mark schemes, not just model answers
- Live work on NEA, IA or EE drafts where relevant, with code reviewed in a shared editor

For programming, I use VS Code with Live Share or a Replit room so we can write, run and debug code together in real time rather than me reading your screen over a call. For theory, a shared whiteboard works best for trace tables, logic diagrams and structured exam-answer plans, which are easier to learn visually than by description.

The coursework support is what most students come to me for and what's hardest to find elsewhere. Whether you're at the planning stage of an NEA, midway through the technical solution, or panicking about evaluation criteria the week before submission, I can help you produce a properly documented project that genuinely hits the rubric. To be clear, I won't write code for you or draft sections of your report — that would fail moderation and isn't useful to you anyway. What I do is teach you how to structure the project, identify the technical decisions worth documenting, and review your work critically so the version you submit is yours but markedly stronger than the version you'd have submitted alone.

Sessions are one hour by default. Two-hour blocks are useful for NEA / IA work; thirty-minute top-ups in the week before a paper work well for last-minute revision. I'll send a short summary after each session with any code, notes or practice questions to work on before next time.
