About Christopher

I chose to mentor in college, teach at university, and offer private tuition because, like many of my peers, I’ve encountered rigid and uninspiring teaching throughout my school years. My aim is to build strong rapport with students and invest time in developing their curiosity and understanding from core principles to complex ideas.

My recent master's degree in computer science from Durham University (consistently top 10 in the UK) and pursuing a PhD at Univeristy of Bristol (51st in the world, QS) has given me a very deep and broad understanding of my field as well as accomplished teaching styles - knowledge which I pass on to my students to help them achieve their goals and inspire them to rise to even greater challenges.

My doctorate focuses on the multi-device, high-performance simulations of liquid metals in Tokamaks (fusion reactors) with the aim of safer and more viable designs to promote green energy. It requires substantial proficiency in mathematical tools, physical modelling, and expert knowledge of computer architecture, algorithm and data structure design, and parallel programming.

My teaching experience:
- 2 years of teaching assistance and mentoring peers and lower-year students in college
- 2+ years of leading problem classes at university
- many years of tutoring younger siblings
- Designing STEM workshops for outreach into schools
- Tutoring students 1:1 and in a classroom setting
- Reporting to senior lecturers and proactively contributing to the teaching material
- Marking assignments and giving individual feedback
- Trained in teaching, assessment, equality, diversity and inclusion

My academic qualifications:
GCSEs: maths (8), computer science (9), physics (9), ...
A-levels: maths (A*), computer science (A*), physics (A), further maths (B)
Degrees: first-class Computer Science MEng from Durham University, currently a student at University of Bristol reading for Computer Science PhD with a very strong emphasis on maths and physics

I believe the teacher plays a crucial role in shaping students' learning experience. Since learning is deeply personal, it's important to me to find the right pace and perspective for each of my pupils. I adapt my lessons to suit different learning styles, aiming to build confidence and accelerate progress.

Holding a Master's degree in Computer Science and pursuing a PhD allows me to easily demonstrate the real-world applicability of GCSE, A-level and undergraduate concepts to keep my students engaged, and hopefully fascinated.

A typical lesson will consist of an introduction or revision of the problems and concepts, an opportunity for the student to analyse them independently, followed by a guided approach. The student will be encouraged to constructively reflect on their method, and the task will be reviewed at low and high levels to consolidate their comprehension. The student will be provided with further examples to develop an in-depth understanding of the topic and the ability to quickly recognise the task given. We will also cover questions from past exam and sample papers.

My lessons are aimed at any students of computer science or related subjects with current grades of 4/D and above. Please don't hesitate to contact me on particular cases.

I will cover all topics associated with the student's exam board and beyond if extracurricular knowledge is of their interest. This might be particularly useful for students making university applications.

For GCSE/A-levels students, I will cover all topics associated with the student's exam board (AQA, Edexcel, OCR and more) and beyond if extracurricular knowledge is of their interest. This includes (and is not limited to):
- mathematics essential for computer science at their level (arithmetic, vector math, bases, binary, data correction, etc)
- programming languages (Python, C, C#, C++, Java, JS, HTML, SQL, VB)
- programming paradigms (imperative, declarative, functional, object-oriented, etc) and their fundamentals (data types, functions, loops, interfaces, inheritance, etc)
- data structures (arrays, lists, stacks, queues, graphs, hash tables, etc)
- algorithms such as search, sort, graph traversal
- computational thinking (problem abstraction, decomposition, etc)
- complexity theory (big O notation)
- computation and its models (finite state automata, Turing machines, context-free grammars)
- data representation (images, sound, compression, encryption)
- databases, operating systems
- machine architecture (the CPU model, FDE cycle, etc)
- networks, communication, protocols
