The Course
This course focuses on the fundamental topics in programming. It is designed for GCSE, A-level, or college students in the Guildford area who have not had any prior exposure to programming. By the end of the course, the student will have a good understanding of the following areas:
Variables
Input and Output
Python intrinsic data structures
Numpy
Control structures and logic
Functions
Visualization
The student will have to learn from examples, and write code to answer problems of varying difficulty along the way. By the end of the course, the student will have enough knowledge to write some powerful Python programs capable of solving complex problems.
The course will take approximately 10 hours, but may vary on a student basis. Tutoring sessions will take place in your own home, each session lasting between 1 and 2 hours depending on your preference. Sessions are available in the evenings and weekends only, but are flexible to adapt to your own schedule. The hourly rate is £40. You will need a laptop or desktop computer running either of the Windows, Mac, or Linux operating systems.
Beyond this introductory course, there are options to learn more advanced skills, especailly some basic AI techniques. I am also able to offer tutoring for GCSE Maths and Physics.
