About Me
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.
My teaching style
My teaching style is patient, supportive, and adaptable to each student’s needs. I take time to explain concepts clearly and am always happy to repeat or rephrase explanations to ensure full understanding. I believe in learning by doing, so I incorporate real-life examples and practical exercises to make abstract concepts more relatable. I also use past exam questions to help students become familiar with the format and apply what they’ve learned in a structured way. My goal is to build confidence, encourage curiosity, and help students develop both their understanding and problem-solving skills at their own pace.

My Proudest Achievements
One of my proudest achievements is earning my lifeguarding certificate after months of hard work, dedication, and training. It taught me the value of persistence, responsibility, and staying calm under pressure—skills I carry into all areas of my life. Another achievement I’m incredibly proud of is being accepted into one of the world’s top universities for Computer Science. It reflects my passion for technology and the effort I’ve put into reaching a high academic standard.
