Personal Description:
I am a freelance software developer and trainer, providing personal tuition services in computing, programming and IT-related subjects. I took my first steps in programming in 1981, have been a professional software-developer since 1987, and have been teaching programming in corporate, academic and just-plain-one-to-one contexts since 1992.
Along with my teaching work, I develop software and web-sites for my clients, and have been published several times in respected programming-journals. I am a BBC 'preferred supplier', a Professional Life-Member of the Association for Computing Machinery (the world’s largest and oldest scientific and educational computing society), and I published a book in 2016 explaining the processes and technicalities that lie behind the publication of e-books (i.e. for Amazon's Kindle product).
I cover a wide range of languages to expert level, including (in no particular order): Python, JavaScript, Java, PHP, SQL, HTML/CSS, VB, C/C++ and assembly language. I also cover, to very great depth indeed, the principles and practice of software design, implementation and development (Object Orientation and Software Engineering), along with web-site design and implementation.
I can, should you choose to purchase my contact details, provide a wealth of information that confirms the above assertions.
Training Experience:
I have provided private-tuition services since 1992, and was a lecturer at Roehampton University from September 1998 to October 1999, where I taught basic and advanced programming, computer architectures and operating-system theory. I have provided professional training-services since 1999, during which time I have delivered over 110 courses in programming and software design and development, for companies in the aircraft industry, computer gaming, banking, web development and the BBC, to name but a very few.
Training Approach:
My approach to teaching and training pivots on the two most important factors - understanding-of and passion-for one's subject. I demonstrate the power, beauty and creativity of the science, while placing a firm emphasis on explaining concepts in the simplest and most day-to-day terms.
Clients cite frequently the original and clear explanations that I use, along with my ability to bring the subject to life and the depth of my technical understanding. Delegates on the professional courses I deliver give feedback scores of 85% and higher consistently.

I would recommend him as a tutor to anyone either:
1. Starting out in the industry who wants to grasp the fundamentals of computer programming.
2. Already developing/working and wanting to expand their knowledge base.
3. If you are stuck on a particular project and need help.
Happy coding!
He is very professional and a fantastic tutor. Highly recommended!
He goes the extra mile to help you understand a problem.
Thanks Richard.
