First-class Master's grad and award-nominated tutor with 6 years' experience teaching university and high-school level computer science and programming, including databases.

Ramsey is an exceptional tutor with his solid understanding of topics allowing him clearly explain the concepts needed to tackle a broad range of problems. I continue to improve my coding skills under his guidance even after graduation as he helps me prepare for the coding tests in the job market. He is always well prepared for every lesson and is willing to go the extra mile to learn new material. Ramsey's dedication and commitment make him a top choice as Superprof.

Ramsey has been a very good teacher, who has helped me progressive vastly in my coding. He is very attentive to your needs and constantly strives to assist you. He's lessons are very well planned out and tailored to your needs. Prior to Ramsey tutoring, I did not really understand computer science theoretical or practically (coding) and now I am able to code in multiple coding languages, both front-end and back-end. He has also helped me to understand the data science aspect of coding. This has been done in a short-period of time. Aside from tutoring aspect, Ramsey is warm and thoughtful individual. So if you want to gain a deeper understanding of computer science in a pleasant environment. I would highly recommend you with work with Ramsey.

I believe that Ramsey is an excellent tutor. He was very helpful and productive in the lessons that we had, and explained things concisely in a way that was easy to understand. He provided a great deal of assistance in working with Python, Matlab and SQL. He was able to help me in these areas by using various online resources, exercises and exam-style questions. I would thoroughly recommend him as a tutor.

I am writing to support Ramsey El-Naggar’s application to enrol in the IntroAP course. I have known Ramsey in his role of co-Senior Leader, together with myself and another colleague, of the Edinburgh University School of Informatics InfPALS (Informatics Peer Assisted Learning Scheme) in 2016-2017. Ramsey has also attended numerous of my training sessions for tutors and demonstrators in our school.

It was evident through my interactions that Ramsey was passionate about supporting students. Before working with me, he had been a volunteer InfPALS leader since the commencement of InfPALS in 2014. In this position, he was fully planning weekly sessions, including making decisions as to the topics to discuss and designing activities in response to student needs, but also facilitating the sessions, collecting feedback from students and preparing weekly reports self-assessing his teaching in class. Ramsey’s involvement as a volunteer InfPALS leader for years clearly demonstrates his commitment to the aims of InfPALS, those of providing student support in an informal, friendly, environment through a combination of facilitation, leading to the development of study skills and learner communities, and advice on matters ranging from how to find information to managing life in university. His very positive results in the first year Computation and Logic and Functional Programming courses also commended Ramsey as a very good facilitator on such topics in sessions. For his involvement, he also gained an Edinburgh Award. Even before meeting Ramsey, my precursor recommended him to me as being a natural facilitator and gifted at listening and making PALS a safe and comfortable environment where students are encouraged to ask questions and seek help. It was thus only natural to propose him as one of my colleagues in the position of Senior Leader for this academic year. In this position, Ramsey helped recruit new leaders, promoted InfPALS to attract both students and new leaders, helped with training new leaders in the spirit of PALS, and performed some administrative duties. In what concerned training, he was always enthusiastic to share his own experience on issues such as organising or re-organising the class in order to give equal opportunities to students with different levels of knowledge and different backgrounds to contribute, or giving feedback which encourages further study rather than a complete explanation. However, he was always also curious to learn about the new leaders’ experience as former InfPALS attendees and in their own sessions. Ramsey was always very friendly, while also confident, during training, and he also always welcomed other opinions and points of view, all of which instilled an informal atmosphere encouraging interaction. He also always explained his arguments clearly, with examples.

Ramsey showed the same enthusiasm when attending my training sessions for tutors and demonstrators. He has attended the great majority of my programme of sessions, which demonstrates his commitment to his teaching development also through participation to training, and the sharing of experience with other tutors and demonstrators. He was also one of the attendees who voluntarily decided to conduct a peer observation together with a colleague, to further improve his teaching.

Ever since the decision in the Edinburgh University School of Informatics to hire undergraduate students as tutors and demonstrators, Ramsey has also taken up such roles in the topics of Cognitive Science, Computation and Logic, and Data and Analysis.

Given his years of experience, dedication, and natural talent in teaching, but also his enthusiasm and ambition to take his teaching to new dimensions, I would like to recommend Ramsey highly.


Yours faithfully,

Ramsey is an excellent teacher. He raised my score 30-some points. Without him I would have never gotten the credits I needed. He was always prompt and polite, and always ensured I understood a topic fully before moving on. He never made me feel silly, even if I had a silly question to ask. He is in general a very kind, patient, and intelligent person. If you are in need of an excellent tutor, look no further - you've found him.
