About Aoife
I'm Aoife -- a PhD astrophysicist, data scientist, and university lecturer who genuinely loves teaching. My number one goal is straightforward: help you build real confidence in your own abilities.
I've been through a long education system myself, so I understand the frustration, the self-doubt, and the moments where a subject just doesn't click. That experience shapes how I teach. I create a non-judgmental space where there are no silly questions and no pressure -- just steady, practical progress.
STEM subjects can feel overwhelming. I've seen it at every level. I've also seen what happens when students get the right support: understanding improves, grades follow, and more importantly, the anxiety starts to lift. That's what I'm here for.

This is for you if you are:
- A university student who struggled with a Python or programming module and wants to actually understand it
- Preparing for repeats, resits, or an autumn exam and needing focused, structured support
- An adult or mature learner who wants to learn Python from scratch or fill in gaps you've been carrying
- Someone who wants to learn Python for work, a career change, or simply out of curiosity
- Intelligent and capable, but feeling like coding "just doesn't click" for you yet
How I teach
Sessions are hands-on from the start. You'll be writing real code from the first lesson, not sitting through slides. I tailor everything to your specific goal -- whether that's passing a module, building a project, or just getting comfortable with the basics.
I find the gaps first. A lot of people struggle with Python not because they can't code, but because something foundational was never properly explained. I find what that is and fix it, which tends to make everything else click faster than expected.
No jargon. No judgment. No silly questions.
What I can help with
- Python fundamentals and core concepts
- Data analysis with pandas and numpy
- Coursework, assignments, and exam preparation
- Building a first project or portfolio piece
- Automation and practical real-world applications
- Intro to data science and machine learning
Logistics
Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes, online or in person in Dublin.
Background
PhD in Astrophysics, Trinity College Dublin. 10+ years teaching at TCD and Maynooth University. Co-founder of Codify Dublin, delivering Python and data science workshops for four years.

Aoife has great patience and a personalised approach to everyone she works with. Her presence is supportive and encouraging. Always appreciate her clear explanations and ability to dive deep into the topic.
Aoife is immensely skilled at breaking down complex ideas into digestible, grokable language that makes sense. She’s supportive, thoughtful, patient and brings a warm presence to learning enviroments and problem solving. Working alongside her, I’m always so impressed by how clearly she communicates and how empowering her explanations feel, especially as someone who has struggled with maths my whole life.
Before starting tutoring, I felt like I lacked a solid understanding of the basics in math, which had affected my performance in college and led to failed exams. Aoife's approach to tutoring was exactly what I needed—she tailored each session to my needs, ensuring I had a comprehensive understanding before moving on to new topics. Her teaching style is incredibly relaxed and supportive, allowing me to learn at my own pace without feeling rushed. She is highly knowledgeable in her field and an excellent tutor. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for math support!
I had the pleasure of working alongside Aoife at Maynooth University, where her dedication to teaching and deep understanding of mathematics and statistics truly stood out. Aoife has a unique ability to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible and engaging for students at all levels. She is not only a knowledgeable educator but also a supportive mentor, always going the extra mile to ensure her students succeed.
Aoife’s passion for education and her commitment to her students’ growth make her an outstanding tutor. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor who combines expertise with a genuine dedication to teaching.View more recommendations
