How we teach Computer Science
Theory topics are taught with small examples you can test, then exam-style questions on the same idea.
Pseudocode and programming are practised by writing, tracing and fixing real algorithms, not by memorising answers.
We mark written answers against the points examiners look for, so short answers stop losing easy marks.
Where students usually lose marks
- Writing and tracing algorithms
- Precise definitions in theory questions
- Data representation calculations
- Extended-response questions

Questions parents ask
Do you teach the current AP Computer Science A syllabus?
Yes. Lessons follow the board’s current syllabus. We check the specification before planning a course, and we tell you if anything changes.
How many lessons a week does my child need?
Most students do one or two 60-minute lessons a week. In the months before the exam, many add a second lesson for past-paper practice.
Can you help close to the exam?
Yes. Exam-season courses focus on timed practice, the topics that lose the most marks, and marking every paper like the real exam.
