During my Monday to Friday, I am a Principal Engineer where I lead a team of engineers, so I am comfortable with mentoring those looking to kick start their career in the industry. I'm happy to also provide advice with interviewing and CV preparation when the time comes.

Tutoring Experience

Over a decade of industrial experience, working in the City. Varying from fast-paced early stage start ups where I have written new products from scratch to large enterprise companies. I specialise in FinTech (Financial Technology) but have worked across other industries, eg. Music, Trading, and Supermarkets.

I graduated from Queen Mary, University of London, with a BSc in Computer Science. As part of my degree, I was a Teaching Assistant for multiple courses, mentored as part of the PASS scheme (Peer-Assisted Study Support) and worked in industry for a year.

Tutoring Approach

I'm happy to follow a syllabus or be more specific about any coursework or dissertation that a student needs help with. Alternatively, I'm happy to take a full-lead approach to teaching a wide range of skills and have exercises ready to hand. I like to understand what my pupils are having difficulty with within the first few lessons and use this as a guide when teaching them.
