Online Computer Science Tutor Shepard

I have over eight years of combined teaching and tutoring experience in ICT, Computer Science, and Mathematics across diverse educational settings in the UK, South Africa ,UAE,USA , Zimbabwe and online. My career began at Glenridge High School , where I taught IGCSE and A-Level Mathematics and Computer Science. During this period, I designed personalized study plans, prepared learners for Cambridge and Edexcel examinations, and integrated problem-solving and critical thinking into lessons. My efforts were recognized when I was awarded Outstanding Computer Science Teacher of the Year in 2018.

From 2022 to 2024, I taught at Megabrain Training Centre in the UAE, delivering ICT and Computer Science (KS3–IGCSE) with a focus on data representation, programming, algorithms, and databases. I also supported students in Mathematics from KS1 to KS4, ensuring alignment with international curricula and preparing them for external examinations.

Currently, I work as an online Computer Science & ICT Teacher at a British Online School, teaching KS3 and KS4 under the UK National Curriculum. I deliver engaging, interactive lessons tailored to online learning environments and support learners with project-based assignments and programming tasks.

In tutoring, I specialize in one-on-one and small group sessions, providing targeted support to help learners overcome challenges, consolidate knowledge, and excel in exams. My pedagogy is student-centered, blending direct instruction with inquiry-based learning, real-world applications, and technology integration. I believe in fostering digital literacy, critical thinking, and independent problem-solving, while creating an inclusive and motivating environment that builds both competence and confidence.

I specialize in teaching and tutoring ICT| Computer Science, and Mathematics across secondary and advanced levels, with extensive experience preparing students for major international curricula and examinations, including Cambridge (CAIE), Pearson Edexcel, OxfordAQA, and the International Baccalaureate (IB).
