About Stephen
I am a tech geek with people skills, and I discovered early on in my career that that is not a common thing to come by!
The tech world (and particularly coding) can be daunting for those who are new to it, and it can be overwhelming to those who have dived in head first - trust me, I have been there! I don't believe we all have to go through a trial by fire just to get where we want to go - sometimes it's nice to have someone beside you with a fire extinguisher to point you in the right direction and guide you there.
I have always had a passion for helping and supporting others, and I've found that teaching is one of the best ways to do just that. I've gathered a lot of skills over the years, and I want to share them with others so they are setup for success. If you're up for it, I will be ready to go, fire extinguisher in hand.

Coding is quickly becoming an essential skill for kids and adults alike. But it doesn't have to be boring or bland!
With the right teacher, coding can be an awesome creative outlet, and a rewarding skill to have up your sleeve. Whether you're a seasoned professional who wants to upskill, or a young kid (or their parent) curious about what this coding thing is all about, I have you covered!
I will teach you the core fundamentals that underpin ALL coding (literally applying to anything, from Excel spreadsheets to JavaScript and beyond), then we can dive into more specifics depending on the software you are wanting to build or work with. We will work with real examples along the way, and I will ensure you have something to show for your hard work at the end of the day.
Along with a Diploma of Computer Science and 15+ years in web development and customer service (weird mix right?!), I have tutored students of all ages to success. High school students, university undergraduates and adults upskilling have all benefitted greatly from their time working with me (references and resume available upon request).
I will start by getting to know you and what you would like to get out of our lessons. We will set some short and long term goals, and work towards them each lesson, while having a bit of fun on the way. Each lesson is catered to your specific needs, and we will go at whatever pace you are comfortable with.
I generally recommend at least one lesson a week of 1-1.5 hrs, accompanied by at least 1-2hrs of out of lesson work at least once a week.
Eventually you won't need my lessons and can carry on into the sunset on your unicorn of coding knowledge, but I hope you will keep practicing - coding is not like riding a bike, you have to keep at it to do well!
Ultimately, I am looking for students with a keen curiosity and a tendency to tinker - if this sounds like you, or your kid, get in touch!

Stephen is a wonderful, knowledgeable and patient tutor who is able to communicate complex computer science concepts in an approachable manner.
He genuinely cares about your progress and goals, and will tailor sessions according to your needs. He helped me understand the foundational concepts I needed to apply to a coding school (I got in!) and I now work full time as a software engineer.
I highly recommend Stephen for anyone who is looking for a supportive and committed tutor!Stephen communicates very effectively. He adjusts his teaching style to your learning style and has a natural way of instilling self-confidence in the individual. I often leave a session with Stephen feeling more knowledgeable and wholesome.
I've known Stephen for many years and when I told him at the start of the year that I was wanting to start a career as a developer, he offered to be a sounding board and help guide my path forward. What started as casual chats quickly turned into regular consultations and eventually, formal programming lessons. My confidence and knowledge grows exponentially every time I take another lesson with Stephen. His teaching manner is excellent. He's personable, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He has a way of explaining things that make concepts really clear while not over-complicating them, and still having a good laugh along the way. The sessions are super practical and I often find that I feel like I'm collaborating with Stephen, rather than taking lessons from him. I would 100% recommend Stephen as a programming teacher, he's absolutely brilliant!
Stephen has a unique combination of in-depth industry experience, and a real talent and passion for helping people learn. He's confident, extremely knowledgeable and a lovely, fun person into the bargain! He teaches in a patient, creative and innovative way, helping you learn at your own pace, in a way that suits you and your circumstances. If you want to learn to code to achieve your goals, either for work or for play, I highly recommend Stephen! He's got you covered!
Stephen is so good at explaining things in a way that is easy to understand, and fun! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and knowledgeable (also fun!) tutor.
Stephen is a warm and enthusiastic person, who enlivened meetings with his brilliant leadership - I imagine his classes will be joyous! He combines this with great tech skills - I believe students will particularly benefit from his extensive real-world experience. He can teach not just how to code, but how to think about coding and working in the industry.
I’ve known Stephen for many years and his depth of knowledge combined with his exceptional people skills makes him somebody that understands how to tailor his teaching style to each person’s unique needs.
He knows how to break complex concepts down and make them easy for novice and advanced skill levels to understand.
As a person, he’s warm and genuine with a real sense of honesty and commitment to the people he works with.
I’d highly recommend Stephen for anyone who is looking to build their skills in a supportive and practical environment.View more recommendations
