Hi! I’m Ricardo, a passionate and experienced Computer Science educator and software engineer with over 5 years of teaching experience. I’ve worked with learners of all ages — from primary school students discovering coding for the first time to adults making a career change into tech.

I teach Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, SQL, and web development, as well as specialised areas like cloud computing (AWS), cybersecurity fundamentals, and game development using Roblox Studio (Lua) and Minecraft Education. My approach blends clear explanations, hands-on practice, and real-world projects so students not only understand concepts but can also apply them confidently.

Over the years, I’ve:

Helped GCSE and A-level students excel in Computer Science exams.
Guided learners in creating their own apps, websites, and games.
Supported adults in mastering front-end development, Git, and career-ready coding practices.
Mentored students working towards enrichment activities such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

My teaching style is interactive, patient, and tailored to each student’s goals. Whether you’re preparing for exams, building a portfolio, or learning programming for fun, I’ll help you make steady progress while enjoying the journey.

If you’re looking for a tutor who can simplify complex ideas and inspire confidence in coding, I’d be happy to support your learning!
