Gabriel
Cambridge Graduate & Google Developer - Programming Tutoring 1 on 1
I am a Cambridge graduate in CS, with over 10 medals and national distinctions for competitive programming. For over 5 years, I have helped hundreds of students discover how easy and beautiful Computer Science is: - Assisted students in improving from a C to an A* grade. - Helped motivated students qualify for the National Informatics Olympiad. - Guided many achieve their target grades in A-Levels, even attaining the perfect score. - Prepared for IB/IA, A-Levels, GCSE, University Entry, or equivalent. - Assisted with specific projects at a professional level, including interview preparation. All my success in Computer Science is due to my teachers, who knew how to inspire my passion and turn any concept into an easy-to-understand story. That's why I decided to help others further to elucidate the secrets of Computer Science and to smile with relief in the exam hall when they notice that they know how to solve all the subjects perfectly. It's amazing how quickly a student can progress when the material is explained to them in their understanding. I have a highly flexible schedule and can adapt to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions about my teaching method, availability, or pricing, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am here to assist you and provide the support you need :).
