About Sammy

My name is Sammy, and I have been tutoring for two years — working with students from primary age through to GCSE and A-level candidates.

I have just completed my A-levels in Computer Science, Maths, Further Maths and Economics, with predicted grades of four A*s, and I hold an offer to study Computer Science at Durham University. Computer Science is the subject I am going on to study at degree level, and that depth of interest comes through in how I teach it.

Everything I teach is current. I know the present OCR specification, how examiners word their questions, and which topics students find most difficult — including the programming project, which I completed myself only months ago.

The feedback I receive most often from parents is twofold: grades improve, and their child stops finding the subject intimidating.

Most lessons open with a short retrieval starter — questions drawn from topics covered in previous weeks. I keep a running record of everything a student has learnt and deliberately revisit older material at spaced intervals, so nothing fades before the exam.

For theory topics — data representation, networks, logic, algorithms — lessons are built around questions, not lectures. I work through a problem while questioning the student at every step, then hand over more and more of the method until they can complete the full question unaided.

Programming is different: you learn it by writing code, not watching someone else write it. The student does the typing from the start. I guide, question and help debug — and debugging itself is treated as a skill to be taught, because it is where most marks and most confidence are lost.

For A-level students, I offer structured support with the programming project (NEA) — planning, design decisions and debugging technique — having recently completed my own.

New skills are consolidated through practice questions and coding exercises, with homework set where useful. Between lessons, I am always available by message, whether that is a piece of stuck code or a question the night before a test.

Details

My hourly rate includes everything: all practice materials and coding exercises, a personalised record of topics covered for structured revision, and unlimited message support between lessons — there are no additional costs.

Lesson packages (5 or 10 hours) offer a reduced hourly rate for students committing to regular weekly sessions, which is where the most consistent progress is made.

The first 30 minutes are free, with no obligation — it allows us to meet, look at where you are currently, and plan what we would cover.
