I teach IB Computer Science with a focus on Java, pseudocode, Paper 1 theory and the IA. I started tutoring after working as a school coding club mentor, so my lessons are fairly practical: we write, trace and test code rather than just talk through slides. I’m especially used to helping students who understand the content but freeze when a question asks them to apply it under time pressure in exams.

Hi, I’m an IB Computer Science tutor and most of my students come to me for the IA or for help making sense of algorithms. I like lessons to feel like a shared screen coding session: we try an idea, break it, fix it, then write down what actually mattered. I’m strict on terminology for exams, but pretty relaxed in how I teach it, especially for students who feel nervous around programming at first.

I have seven years’ experience teaching IB Computer Science, including HL topics such as abstract data structures, recursion and object-oriented programming. My tutoring is usually split between exam technique and IA supervision, particularly choosing a realistic project scope. I also mark practice papers with students so they can see exactly where wording costs marks and how to tighten answers before mocks.

I tutor IB Computer Science online and keep my lessons quite direct. We usually start with whatever the student got wrong in class, then rebuild it through short coding tasks or past-paper questions. Databases, Boolean logic and system fundamentals are the areas I end up teaching most. I’m a bit old-school about tracing tables because they work, especially for Paper 1 algorithm questions under timed conditions.

I’ve worked with IB Computer Science students for five years, mainly on Paper 2 options and Internal Assessments. I’m comfortable with Java and Python, though I keep the focus on what the IB actually rewards: clear design, testing evidence and precise explanations. Parents usually ask me to step in when a project has become too broad or messy, so planning is a big part of my lessons from the start.

My background is software development, but I’ve been tutoring IB Computer Science alongside that for several years. I’m best with students who want a tutor who can explain why a solution works, not just give the answer. In lessons we cover pseudocode, complexity, networks and IA documentation, with plenty of screen-sharing and live debugging. I keep homework short but very targeted, usually one problem at a time.
