First lesson is FREE.

Having worked in software engineering for 20 years, I am now a tutor in computer science, coding, and IoT. I returned to Hong Kong in 2019 after spending 15 years in Ireland.

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Melbourne and Victoria University of Technology. I have worked at various tech giants such as Compaq, HP, and Accenture, starting as a programmer and eventually becoming a project director in Hong Kong, Australia, as well as some European Union nations including Ireland, the UK, and Poland. My strengths are in programming languages C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, and Python (especially in machine learning).

Upon my return to Hong Kong, I began tutoring IGCSE Computer Science, IB Diploma, and DSE (Diocesan School of Education) as these were new to me. Despite this, I scored A and B grades in HKCEE Computer Studies and HKALE Computer Studies. After reviewing their syllabus, I found that it was similar to the AL (Advanced Level) Computer Studies that I previously studied.

For the past 3 years, I have been teaching CIT (Computer and Information Technology) of DSE, Computer Science from Year 7 to Year 12 in GCSE, and IB Diploma. I also teach programming courses, such as JavaScript and Python, in international schools. Additionally, I am currently working on building a quadruped robot with a startup company's cooperation and sponsorship.

My current students come from both local and international schools, including Pu Chiu Secondary School, Choi Ji Chung College, Diocesan College, Yew Chung College, Malvern Secondary School, Chung Tsin Primary School, and St. Francis Xavier's English Primary School. Read less
