A Grounding in the Basic Maths that support Software Fundamentals
A good grasp of Maths and IT Fundamentals has become essential in many walks of life, both professional and personal.
In this very specific foundational course, designed to help those interested in a career in the IT Software field, we will learn about mathematical concepts like: Set theory, Numeral Systems (binary, decimal), and Algebra (including Boolean). These lie at the very foundation of Computer Science. Then go on to see how they are applied in Database Design and Programming concepts.

About Me
I was born in a town called Skipton, North Yorkshire. So naturally I've a Northern UK accent. But having taught some twenty years, I typically speak slowly and enunciate clearly.I very much believe in keeping things as simple as possible, so as to aid practical application. Too much detail early on can overwhelm, and damage confidence. Once a skill has been practised a while, more detail can be added in.
In my personal life, I no live in Larne, Northern Ireland - having moved to Ireland with my wife in 2009. My hobbies include gardening and reading.

Very good and helpful
Many topics in the school curriculum have seen huge changes in recent years, none more so than Maths. Maths has seen new topics, and teaching methods. Also while the traditional Maths topics were taught in isolation, modern methods interconnects the topics to solve practical, real-life, problems.
On the course we will discuss topics like: Numeral Systems (binary, decimal), Algebra, Geometry, Probability, Set Theory and Statistics.
English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world with approximately 1.5 billion speakers. It is the mother tongue of more than 350 million people, and the most widely used language in big business and IT.
Improve your ability to comprehend, and communicate, in this increasingly used language.
Both written, and oral, English is covered by a UK native with over twenty years teaching experience.
A practical, ground level, introduction on how to use computers and the basic connected tools within the Microsoft Office suite.
It includes introductory lessons on how to use various operating system tools and then moves onto programs like: Excel, Word and Powerpoint.

Math support courses for high school students (Science Maths, Science Exp, Letters ...)As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material!
We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition.
The sessions generally take place according to the following stages:
1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps.
2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises.
3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach.
4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively.
5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course.
I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach.
In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.
