Programming Tutors: 1-1 Programming Preparation

Hi, I’m Faisal. I’ve been tutoring for the last 6 years, starting with 11+ students, then GCSE, and now up to A-level. I went to a grammar school and achieved A*s across my STEM subjects at GCSE, and have now begun my Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering at the University of Southampton. Throughout this, I’ve gained a strong understanding of the STEM subjects, the exam boards, and most importantly the key exam technique needed to achieve top grades.

I have a real passion for teaching and I know how difficult it can be to find the right tutor who fits a student’s specific needs. My approach is simple and no-nonsense — clear, detailed, and engaging. I aim to make lessons not only informative but also enjoyable, because I was once in the shoes of the student, and could never seem to find a tutor who could explain things in a way I understood, or empathise with me when I couldn’t understand.

Whatever your specific needs are, I will try my best to tailor to them and ensure you rapidly progress in whatever subject you choose!

Hello! I’m Mirian, a passionate and patient QTS-certified tutor with over 13 years of experience in teaching maths and Statistics. I also specialising in SEND education (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, SEMH, and complex needs). My approach is warm, adaptable, and rooted in the belief that every child can thrive with the right support. I’ve helped students who’ve struggled in mainstream settings achieve functional skills milestones, GCSE passes, and—most importantly—renewed confidence in their abilities.

What Makes My Sessions Unique?

Interactive & Fun: I turn challenges into games—e.g., using LEGO to teach fractions or storytelling to boost literacy.

Collaborative: I partner closely with parents, schools, and therapists to provide consistent support.

Celebrating Small Wins: Progress might start with a single sentence written or a maths problem solved independently—I make sure we celebrate every step!

Subjects I Cover:

Primary/Secondary: Maths, English, Science (KS1-KS4)

Functional Skills & GCSE

Life Skills: Time management, social communication, and emotional regulation strategies.

📍 Logistics:

Location: Staffordshire (in-person) or online

A Note to Parents:
I know how overwhelming it can feel to seek the right tutor for your child. My goal is to make learning less stressful and more empowering—for both of you. Let’s work together to help your child discover what they’re capable of!

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.
