Jerome S
Confident, patient Computer Science teacher
Hello,Thank you for viewing my profile, I am a computer science teacher at a grammar school in Kent. I have been teaching for 4 years but I have been in the programming industry for over 10 years.My style of teaching involves cold calling questions to spark a conversation which will help students gain confidence and also improve their working memory in this subject, hopefully turning this into long term memory ready for their GCSE.Please note that I teach GCSE using the OCR specification.I set homework goals in which relate to the beginning of the next lesson in which is called flipped learning...

Nial D
Nial tutored my son in computer science in the run up to his GCSE exam, due to a pretty useless teacher at school. They worked together once a week for maybe 3 months. My son was predicted a 1,2 or 3 by his teacher and with Nial's help he got a 9! Highly recommended. Never a moan from my son about a tutor session with Nial. They got on well and it was worth every single penny!

Ngoran N
Mr. Ngora is an outstanding computer science tutor!
His ability to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps has made a huge difference in my daughter's understanding and confidence. He is patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and always prepared with practical examples that make learning engaging and enjoyable.
What I appreciate most is his dedication—he takes the time to ensure you truly understand the material and offers guidance that goes beyond the classroom. Whether it’s programming, algorithms, or exam prep, he explains everything with clarity and enthusiasm.
I highly recommend Mr. Ngoran to anyone looking to excel in computer science. An exceptional tutor and a true professional!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
What grade do they need in National 5 Computer Science to take the Higher?
While specific entry requirements can vary slightly between schools, most will look for an 'A' or 'B' at National 5 to allow progression to Higher Computer Science. A tutor can provide the targeted support needed to help your child achieve these crucial grades and confidently move on to the next level.
My child is good at games and phones. Why are they struggling with Computer Science?
This is a common confusion. Being good at using technology is very different from understanding the underlying theory and logic of Computer Science. The subject involves abstract concepts, problem-solving, and a good grasp of mathematical and logical principles, like understanding how binary works. A tutor can help bridge this gap, clarifying why things work the way they do rather than just how to use them.
It feels like there's a lot of hidden maths in National 5 Computer Science. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. You're right, topics like binary, hexadecimal, and Boolean logic require a different kind of thinking than just traditional IT. A Computer Science National 5 tutor can break down these mathematical and logical elements, explaining them clearly and patiently with practical examples, making them much less intimidating for your child.
How can a tutor help with the National 5 Computer Science Assignment project?
The Assignment can be a significant source of stress, especially with debugging and time management. A tutor can guide your child through each stage of the project, helping them understand the requirements, plan their code, troubleshoot errors, and manage their time effectively without doing the work for them. This support can be invaluable in improving their final mark and reducing frustration.
When is the best time to start tutoring for National 5 Computer Science?
The earlier, the better, especially with a subject as academically demanding as Computer Science National 5. Starting early allows a tutor to address any foundational gaps, clarify difficult concepts like algorithms or network protocols as they come up, and build confidence steadily throughout the year, rather than just cramming before exams.
Will National 5 Computer Science be useful if my child doesn't take the Higher?
Definitely. Even if your child doesn't pursue Higher Computer Science, the skills developed at National 5 are incredibly valuable. It fosters logical thinking, problem-solving, and an understanding of how technology fundamentally works, which are highly sought after in many careers and everyday life. It's a challenging but rewarding subject that equips them with transferable skills far beyond just IT basics.
