Hi! I’m Ali, a Computer Science graduate and experienced tutor with a strong passion for teaching. I’ve helped numerous students achieve top results — including A*s at A-Level and grade 9s at GCSE — by making complex concepts simple, relatable, and engaging. I specialise in A-Level and GCSE Computer Science, IT, and programming for all levels, whether you’re a complete beginner or preparing for university. My lessons are interactive, structured, and tailored to your needs. I use real-world examples, past paper practice, and proven techniques to boost your understanding and confidence. Whether you’re aiming for high grades, preparing for exams, or just want to learn how to code, I’ll guide you every step of the way. My goal is to make learning tech enjoyable and rewarding. Let’s unlock your full potential together!

I’m a Computer Science student at Heriot-Watt University with a strong passion for technology, problem-solving, and continuous learning. In my spare time, I enjoy coding and exploring new tools, programming languages, and concepts within the field. With a genuine enthusiasm for teaching, I take pride in my ability to explain complex topics in a clear, approachable way that encourages students to grasp difficult concepts with ease.

As the older brother to twin brothers with autism, I’ve developed a high level of patience, empathy, and understanding, which I bring into my tutoring approach. My experience in caring for them has made me more attuned to different learning styles and able to communicate effectively with students who may have unique needs. As a tutor, I am committed to fostering a supportive and engaging environment where all students feel confident to ask questions, explore new ideas, and build a strong foundation in computer science. Whether a student is new to the subject or aiming to refine their skills, my goal is to help them achieve their learning objectives while making the process enjoyable and rewarding.

I have over 25 years of experience as a teacher and course leader at a further education college in Leeds, northern England. Throughout my career, I have taught a wide range of subjects across ICT, Programming, and Games Development courses – in particular computer languages and game engines. I also have extensive experience in web programming, database development, and general computer skills instruction.
In recent years, I have played a key role in the development and delivery of the T Level Digital Software Development course, teaching Python, software design, and software testing. I have also developed new units for the Access to higher education course that are now used by colleges nationally.
My responsibilities have included providing pastoral support to students, managing courses, ensuring quality assurance and verification standards, designing curricula, and interviewing prospective staff and students.
I take great pride in my professionalism, organisation, and approachable manner.
