I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

/*** Able to teach: programming in Java/Python (Beginners), Javascript/PHP (up to Intermediate) .
Beginner level Web Development (HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, modern frameworks: React/VueJS, Laravel). Networking & cybersecurity (to intermediate level). ***/

- Personal site: idir[dot]online
-I have 10 years teaching at the university level. Empathy for the learner is the core- we all need context, patience and framing.
- Alongside following formal curricula, I like to use 'real world' simulator/practical tools to teach and there are plenty of them in the tech world. It's the best way to 'see' what you learn in books/class.
- Have been upskilling in tech for 3 years.
-Just finished UoGloucestershire Bootcamp on cybersec/data formalising extensive learning of my own over past years.
-In tech, more that ever and more than many other subjects, the foundations of knowledge are ever-changing... the patterns, frameworks, and practices of even 2 years ago become quickly ancient. Some principles, and broader architectural/philosophical approaches do persist, but change is very common. Being a teacher in tech is also, more than any other subject, also about being a learner.

- My strengths are: cybersecurity, networking principles and practices (OSI model, CIA triad), linux/server environments, modern web-dev frameworks (VueJS, React, NodeJs, Laravel), mySQL database design, ethics/law/politics/philosophy of cyber-space.
- Also solid on: OOP higher-level languages (Java and Python) from an architectural view (polymorphism, namespacing etc)

My previous career was in International Relations and History, so I am also able to cover history/IR/politics classes. My Ph.D is in History.
