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 from Ireland (1 year) to Hong Kong in 2019.

After graduating from a Bachelor of Computer Science and a Master of Computer Science from the University of Melbourne and Victoria University of Tech, respectively, I worked in various tech giants such as Compaq, HP, and Accenture. I started as a programmer and eventually became a project director in Hong Kong, Australia, and some EU nations like Ireland, the UK, and Poland. My strengths in programming are C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, and Python (machine learning).

After returning to Hong Kong, I started tutoring IGCSE Computer Science, IB Diploma, and DSE, which were not familiar to me. This is a new beginning for me, even though I scored A and B grades in HKCEE Computer Studies and HKAL Computer Studies. Upon reviewing their syllabus, I found that they are similar to Advanced Level Computer Studies that I had studied before.

Currently, I mainly teach CIT of DSE, Year 7 to Year 12 in Computer Science of GCSE and IB Diploma. During that time, I teach programming courses, such as JavaScript and Python, in international schools. I am also building a quadruped robot under the cooperation and sponsorship of a startup company.

The current students come from both local and international schools, such as 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, etc. Read less

My approach will depend on the student's needs and learning style. However, my teaching is based on encouraging students to think for themselves, using real-world examples wherever possible. I usually focus on exam-style or past paper questions in order to check, practice, and perfect the student's understanding and technique. Read less
