No reviews yet

I am an IT professional and QA Engineer with over 6 years of industry experience, currently working in the software field. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Information Technology and an MSc in Information Technology, and I am passionate about helping school students understand IT in a simple, practical, and stress-free way.
I specialize in teaching IT as a school subject, focusing on building strong fundamentals, clear understanding of theory, and confidence in practical lessons. My classes are well-structured, student-friendly, and aligned with school syllabuses and exam requirements.

What I Help Students With: IT fundamentals for school syllabuses | Computer basics & digital literacy | Algorithms, flowcharts & logical thinking | Programming basics (Python / Java fundamentals – school level) | Databases & basic web concepts | Exam preparation, revision, and past-paper discussion | Homework help & concept clarification

Teaching Style: Simple explanations using real-life examples | Step-by-step lessons suitable for beginners | Extra attention for students who find IT difficult | Encouraging questions and active participation | Focus on understanding, not memorizing

I teach students from basic level upwards and adjust my teaching pace based on each student’s ability. My goal is to help students enjoy learning IT, improve their grades, and build a strong foundation for future studies.
