CS & AI Personal Projects
EPQ: Machine-learning program used to help urban planning by enabling policy simulation (e.g. view the long-run impact preserving natural landscape on water sources, built-up area and greenery)
CS A-Level NEA: Machine-learning program used to generate a happiness score based on students’ custom configuration of variables, also displaying the country with the most similar score to theirs, enabling engaging debate about the impact of those variables on its population’s happiness
Frequently Asked Questions
-
All lessons are delivered online via Google Meets on a 1-1 or group-class basis, based on the subject or course selected.
I also use an iPad to draw on a whiteboard for clear explanations and enable engaging student collaboration.
-
Lessons are only tailored to the student’s needs unless their class is the Python for Beginners group class (where I will be following my succesful curriculum).
The first 10 minutes are dedicated to active recall and discussion of answers to transfer learned content into long-term memory with understanding. The remaining 50 minutes are for my teaching with intertwined exam practice.
-
Please see the ‘Subjects‘ tab for full details regarding content, class type and age range.
-
The Python for Beginners Course is the only subject that has a set curriculum, hence why it is the only subject I teach in groups of max. 5 students.
-
Please see the class booking form in the ‘Subjects‘ tab for all prices.
-
Yes, I believe that consistent work on both stronger and weaker content areas ensures that learned information is secure.
This ensures that content becomes like second-nature to the student, enabling them to actually apply their knowledge instead of blindly memorising.
Since exams are increasingly testing students’ ability to apply their knowledge and with the rise of AI limiting development of critical thinking, homework beats the pattern of guessing and fights the forgetting curve.
