- Which subject(s) do you teach?
GCSE, A-Level and degree-level Computer Science / Computing. Contact me regarding other courses.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
When I was 18 I dropped out of university for personal reasons (I had been getting on fine with the course itself up until that point). However, I went on to gain the skills and knowledge that I would have learned at university, both through my job in the games industry and through personal research. My highest academic qualification is a BTEC in Computer Studies, for which I received a Distinction grade. I also have a Level 3 Award in Education and Training.
- Where do you teach?
Tuition is available both locally (Newmarket and Cambridge area) and online (using screen sharing).
- When are you available?
Please contact me to discuss availability.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
I primarily teach GCSE and A-Level students, if you fall outside these categories please contact me to discuss.
- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
Online tutoring takes place over Skype, Google Meet, Discord or Microsoft Teams, using screen sharing. I do 45 min sessions.
For A-level and GCSE students, I produce a comprehensive spreadsheet to keep track of their progress - listing each part of the course syllabus, including my own notes on the topics and links to relevant resources. I also maintain a number of YouTube playlists of videos relevant to the courses, and a list of errors in some of the official textbooks.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Andrew.
Perfect! Andrew has been brilliant with my 12 year old son. He has been able to keep him engaged with his coding whilst teaching him in an age appropriate way. My son has even asked for a lesson over his school holidays!
Perfect! Andrew was patient, expert and enabled me to create a portifolio which gained me a university offer. Excellent.

Andrew has taught my son over the last year. He is very diligent in his teaching methods, addresses any misunderstandings in the lessons immediately and always clearly explains the subject matter . He is very organised , punctual and committed.
His teaching has been very beneficial as my son’s grades improved significantly over the course of the year.Would definitely recommend him !Andrew is an excellent tutor. I have made huge progress since starting work with Andrew last year. It seems like a different life! When we started, I was teaching Latin and French in Croydon. Now thanks to Andrew's help, I am now working as a Front-End Web Developer in Brighton at a well-known web development company. I am absolutely thrilled with the work we have done which started with bash commands and the terminal, then developing ruby and Object Oriented Design, JavaScript, CSS and problem solving. I would certainly recommend Andrew as an excellent tutor who enables outstanding progress and success for his students.
Dante learned a lot from Andrew about Computer Science. He felt that Andrew was very patient and supportive and guided him through the various A-level topics for this subject. He furthermore provided exercises for Dante to complete during the lesson and discussed their outcome which was really beneficial.
