GCSE & A-Level Computer Science tutoring

Online one-to-one lessons with a qualified Computer Science teacher.

I teach programming, theory and exam technique. Lessons start with what the student is finding difficult, then we work through it together until it makes sense.

GCSE £25 per one-hour lesson
A-Level £30 per one-hour lesson

Online across the UK. No pressure to commit after the consultation.

Patient teaching that makes difficult ideas easier to follow

“My son wants a career in computer science and we felt that a bit of extra tuition would be good for him and his grades. I contacted Reece who set up weekly 1:1 sessions with him. They were targeted to the exam board requirements which was really helpful. Reece worked at our son's pace and made sure any gaps in knowledge were filled. Very happy to recommend.”

Sean, parent of a GCSE student

“Reece has been tutoring Noah throughout Year 11, and I wouldn't use anyone else. He is incredibly patient and encouraging, with a unique way of breaking down complex terminology so that it actually makes sense. Most importantly, he makes the subject engaging—as Noah would say, ‘it's not boring!’ If you want a tutor who can truly connect with your child and make learning enjoyable, I would highly recommend Reece.”

We start with what is causing the problem

Some students come to me because programming has stopped making sense. Others know the theory but struggle to turn it into exam marks.

We normally start with whatever is causing the most difficulty and work from there. That might mean going back over a topic, working through code together or practising exam questions.

I explain the idea, ask the student to try it and adjust the lesson depending on what they understand. There is no fixed script.

Parents can receive a short update after lessons where that is useful.

Lessons can cover

  • Programming
  • Theory
  • Exam technique
  • Revision
  • Algorithms
  • Trace tables
  • Boolean logic
  • Databases
  • Networks
  • Data representation

For A-Level NEA work, I can help students develop their ideas, think through how to build their solution and understand how to structure their own write-up. I can also teach relevant concepts and help them debug their own code. The assessed work must remain the student’s own.

Simple hourly rates

Online one-to-one lessons. The free consultation is a short chat to find out what help is needed and whether I am the right tutor.

I teach Computer Science because I enjoy making it understandable

I am a qualified teacher and currently work as a lecturer. I have taught Computer Science at GCSE, A-Level and university level.

My background includes a PGCE with QTS, an MSc in Cyber Security and a BSc in Computer Information Systems. I am also Enhanced DBS checked.

I tend to work best with students who need a patient explanation, time to ask questions and plenty of practice. Lessons are practical and focused on the work in front of us.

Useful places to start

Topic pathways and straightforward articles for students and parents who are not yet sure what help they need.

Before you enquire

Who are lessons for?

GCSE and A-Level Computer Science students anywhere in the UK. Students can come for regular weekly tuition or help with a particular topic.

Which exam boards do you teach?

I teach OCR, AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas/WJEC and other UK specifications. If you are not sure which exam board the school uses, I can help identify it.

Are lessons online?

Yes. Lessons are online and one-to-one. Students need a computer, a reliable internet connection and somewhere suitable to work.

Can you help with A-Level NEA?

Yes, within the rules. I can help students develop their ideas, think through how to build their solution, understand how to structure their own write-up and debug their own code. I cannot write the code or documentation, complete assessed sections or tell a student exactly what to submit. Read the A-Level Computer Science NEA guide.

Book a free 5–10 minute consultation

Tell me whether the student is studying GCSE or A-Level and what they are finding difficult. I will reply to arrange a short chat.

There is no obligation to book lessons afterwards.
