Coding tuition, in its own right

Not just an exam subject. Whether your child is seven and curious, sitting a programming NEA, or preparing a portfolio for university, coding is taught here as a craft — by someone who builds real software, not just teaches it.

First lines of code

For younger learners and beginners: real programming from day one, paced for curiosity. Games, projects and problems that make logic feel like play — and stick.

Exam & NEA mastery

GCSE and A-Level programming done properly: fluent Python for the written papers, and structured, examiner-aware support for coursework and NEA projects across every board.

Beyond the syllabus

Web design with JavaScript, Java and C fundamentals, personal portfolios and university interview preparation — for students whose ambitions are bigger than the specification.

Built, not just taught

The engineering your child learns here is engineering I practise. Recent work:

Mishmann Player

A pocket music player, engineered from bare metal. Inspired by the classic Walkman: a single-board computer, hand-wired tactile buttons, a custom-driven colour display, Bluetooth audio, and its own phone-friendly web app for loading music and configuring Wi-Fi. Every layer — hardware pinout to user interface — designed and written from scratch, and published open source.

Immediate-feedback assessment platform

Software I built and use with my own classes: students get precise, instant feedback on their programming work, and I get a live map of exactly where each learner stands. Part of the KS3 redesign behind the doubling of girls choosing GCSE Computer Science — and the same tooling supports my private students.

A serving teacher, not just a tutor

Sochima Nwobia
Sochima Nwobia — QTS, PGCE

Most tutors rely on years-old memories of the classroom. Because I actively teach Computer Science and Mathematics in a London secondary school, my tutoring is directly informed by live specifications, current mark schemes, and the instincts of working examiners.

Across Key Stage 3, A-Level, and BTEC, I’ve built programming curricula from scratch and engineered custom assessment software to give students instant, actionable feedback. I bring that same structural rigor into every private engagement.

This structured approach is especially vital for the SEND learners I work with, particularly those with ADHD and autism. My approach is simple: the lesson adapts to the student, never the reverse. Through clear routines, immediate feedback, and dynamic pacing, I keep engagement high and reduce cognitive load, turning intimidating subjects into standout results.

Results intervention

0% uplift

A*–C outcomes raised across Year 11 and Year 13 through an intervention programme I designed, built and led end to end.

Widening participation

0× girls' uptake

Girls choosing GCSE Computer Science doubled after my ground-up redesign of the KS3 programming course.

School firsts

First Distinctions

The first Distinctions ever recorded in examined BTEC IT and Business units at my current school — set as the new standard.

Beyond the classroom

UCL liaison

Lead liaison for UCL's student mentorship initiative, connecting A-Level students with Russell Group mentors to raise ambition as well as grades.

// how i teach

What a premium fee actually buys

Not an hour of someone's time — preparation, precision and accountability.

Diagnosis before teaching

The first session maps exactly where the gaps are against the student's specific exam specification. Every lesson after that is built on that map — nothing generic, nothing wasted.

Exam technique as a subject

Knowing the material and scoring the marks are different skills. Students learn how examiners award marks, how to structure answers, and how to manage time under pressure.

Reporting to parents

After each session you receive a short written summary: what we covered, where the student stands, and what happens next. You are never guessing whether it's working.

Built for how they learn

For SEND learners — including students with ADHD and autism — lessons are adapted with clear structure, predictable routines and immediate feedback, so ability is never hidden behind how a subject is usually taught.

// what families say

In their words

“
Sochima has been an amazing tutor, he supported us with in-person tutoring for GCSE Physics, Biology Chemistry, Maths and Computer Science. He had missed a lot of school due to illness and was so far behind; Sochima ensured he caught up and was exam ready as quickly as possible. Supporting him throughout and working well with his SEND needs. Regularly going above and beyond for us. We're definitely keeping Sochima with us into A-Levels.
