ICT Teachers : 1-1 ICT Lessons

Hi! I’m Mieszko.

For my A-Levels, I picked 4 STEM-based subjects, and enjoyed them, so I ended up putting a lot of time into them, and got an A* in each. In college, I also completed a gold crest project, a project in partnership with the NHS, and a project with DSTL.

I was successful in an application to study Computer Science at Oxford, while helping to lead a twice-a-week 2 hour long mentoring sessions, tutoring 3 other students with their admissions tests. One of these got an interview at Oxford, another got into Oxford, and a third was successful in applying to Cambridge.

Outside college, I do a decent amount of sports, including hiking, squash and judo, and I did a DofE award through explorers. I play piano, watch a fair amount of TV and read a fair amount of books – recently both have been This Is Going To Hurt.

I have a degree in Information and Communication Technology. In addition, I have a PGCE Secondary in IT and Computing, which is a teacher training qualification. I have taught a range of topics in IT and Computer Science up to GCSE and A Level. The following are just some of the topics I have studied and/or have taught:

Database and Distributed Systems
Binary
Number Systems Conversions including floating-point binary,
Hardware Components
Assembly Language
Programming in Python, Java, SQL and C++
Mark-up Languages: HTML and CSS
Computer Security
Computer Networks
IT Service Management
Data Structures
Algorithms including Big O Notation
E-Commerce
Social Media
Operating Systems Theory
Computing Professional in Practice (LSEPI)
Internet of Things (IoT)
Principles of Programming: Standards; Paradigm
Logical Operations
Digital Logic
Program Construction
Data Transmission
Spreadsheets in Excel and Google Sheets

My name is Youssef, and with over 5 years of comprehensive teaching experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of subjects ranging from biology and chemistry to physics and computer science. Specializing in various exam boards such as AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC, I ensure a tailored approach to meet the specific needs of my students.

In biology, I delve into topics like genetics, evolution, and ecology, igniting a passion for the natural world. Chemistry sees me elucidating fundamental principles like chemical reactions, atomic structure, and organic chemistry, making the subject both engaging and relevant to daily life. I conduct experiments and elucidate chemical equations to make chemistry tangible and applicable to everyday scenarios.

Physics, with its governing laws and principles, presents its own set of challenges. However, my comprehensive grasp of motion, forces, energy, electricity, and magnetism allows me to effectively guide my students through these complex topics. Through hands-on experiments and clear explanations, I aim to foster a deep appreciation for the laws that shape our universe. From Newton’s laws to electromagnetic phenomena, I strive to make physics both understandable and fascinating for my students.

Moreover, in the ever-evolving field of computer science, I bring my knowledge of programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and software development to the classroom. I have assisted my students in developing their coding skills and understanding the theoretical foundations of computer science. By nurturing their curiosity and encouraging exploration, I aim to inspire the next generation of innovators in this field.

My versatility as an educator extends to teaching English, where I enhance reading, writing, and comprehension skills, instilling critical thinking and effective communication abilities. With a solid understanding of grammar and literature, I empower students to become expressive writers and effective communicators.

With experience teaching students of various age groups, including those with ADHD and dyslexia, I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and interests. My sessions are not only informative but also lively and engaging, incorporating activities like going over past papers to maximize results.

Outside of teaching, my hobbies include playing video games, listening to music, watching movies, and photography. Overall, my commitment, expertise, and adaptability as an educator shine through, as I strive to instill a love for learning and help students realize their full potential across all school levels, from primary to A-levels.
