What we cover

What a computer science specialist works through

Computer science asks a child to think in two registers at once: the theory an exam paper tests on the page, and the code that actually has to run. Your tutor keeps both moving together.

  • Computational thinking & algorithms
  • Programming fundamentals
  • Data structures
  • Computer systems & architecture
  • Networks
  • Data representation
  • Databases & SQL
  • Cyber security
  • Impacts of technology
  • Exam technique & past papers

We prepare pupils across AQA, Edexcel and OCR, at both GCSE and A-Level computer science, building the KS3 programming fundamentals that make the jump to GCSE and beyond straightforward.

What you get

What Computer Science tutoring gets your child

More than a quick fix - a plan that closes gaps and builds the habits that carry a child well past the exam.

Confidence before exams

Your child practises the written paper and the practical programming side together, so neither one is the weak link on the day.

Code that actually runs, not just theory that scores marks

Debugging is a skill in its own right. Your tutor works through it live with your child, not only through exam-board pseudocode.

The next bug or concept, named

Each report names the exact line of code, algorithm or exam-paper skill to revisit before the next lesson.

How lessons work

Diagnose, teach, track

Not a fixed syllabus taught in order regardless of what your child needs. Every computer science lesson follows this same three-part shape.

  1. Diagnose

    The first lesson finds the gaps in your child's computer science, not an assumption from a syllabus, and the plan is built backwards from there.

  2. Teach

    Lessons follow the plan the diagnosis builds, not a fixed syllabus, so time goes on what your child actually needs in computer science.

  3. Track

    A short written report after every lesson tells you what was covered, what went well, and the next thing to work on.

Matched, not browsed

We hand-pick your computer science tutor. You don't sift through a directory.

Choosing from a wall of profiles puts the hardest judgement - is this person right for my child? - on the parent. We make that call instead, and we stand behind it.

  1. Tell us about your child

    Year group, computer science goals and availability (about two minutes), and nothing to pay yet.

  2. We find the right specialist

    We shortlist on subject strength and level, so your child is only ever matched with a tutor experienced at their level, then confirm the tutor and price before you commit.

  3. Start learning

    Approve the tutor and the first lesson, then meet online, one-to-one, in your browser. No contracts.

  • A specialist, hand-matched

    We are boutique by design. Rather than hand you a directory to sort through, we match your child to one specialist chosen for their subject and key stage. We stand behind the choice.

  • Mentors who have sat the same exams

    Your child learns from tutors who earned the grades they are aiming for and remember exactly what it took to get there.

  • Progress you can see

    A short written report after every lesson tells you what was covered, what went well, and the single thing to work on next, so your child always knows how to improve.

Specific to Computer Science

  • Tutors matched to your child's programming language, whether that is Python or another the school teaches.
  • Written paper technique and hands-on coding both covered, since GCSE and A-Level computer science both test each differently.
  • Support through KS3, GCSE and A-Level, building programming fundamentals well before options are chosen.

Built for parents

You're the one making the decision. Here's what you're getting.

Four things every parent asks about before trusting someone new with their child's learning.

Personalised

A specialist hand-matched to your child's year group, computer science and the gaps their first lesson finds.

Transparent

You see the price before you pay, and a written report after every lesson.

Flexible

Lessons run online, from home. You approve every lesson before it is booked, and there are no contracts.

Safe

DBS-checked tutors, on-platform messaging kept as a record, and a named Designated Safeguarding Lead.

Trust & safety

Built for a service used by children

This is not an afterthought bolted onto a tutoring marketplace. Safeguarding is designed into the platform itself.

  • Every tutor is DBS-checked and completes an onboarding checklist covering identity, references and our safeguarding and conduct policies before they teach a single lesson.
  • Messages and shared files stay on the platform, forming a record our Designated Safeguarding Lead can review. Tutors do not move contact off-platform.
  • Our Designated Safeguarding Lead reviews concerns and, where needed, refers them to the right external service.
  • Parents and guardians hold the account. A child joins a lesson through a one-time link, not an adult-style account of their own.

Read the full policies

Our safeguarding and trust & safety pages set out the checks, the reporting routes and how we handle a concern, in full.

Pricing

Computer Science tutoring, priced by level

No tier to choose and nothing to negotiate. Your child's year group decides the level, and the level decides the price.

KS3

Years 7–9

from £27/hour

GCSE

Years 10–11

Good to know

Questions parents ask about Computer Science tutoring

If yours is not here, ask us on our contact page and we will answer it directly.

My child has never coded before. Is it too late to start GCSE computer science?

No. A tutor builds programming fundamentals from scratch, at a pace matched to your child, rather than assuming prior experience.

Which programming language do you teach?

We match a tutor to the language your child's school actually teaches, most commonly Python, so lessons stay directly useful for their coursework and exams.

Is GCSE computer science mostly theory or mostly coding?

Both, and they are marked separately. Your tutor makes sure your child is strong on the written paper and comfortable writing real code, since a gap in either holds back the grade.

Do you tutor A-Level computer science as well as GCSE?

Yes. We match a specialist to your child's exam board for A-Level computer science, extending the same theory-and-coding balance into the greater depth A-Level demands, including the non-exam assessment project.
