A Level Computer Science

A rigorous A Level Computer Science programme with strong emphasis on programming, algorithms, and exam technique. Suitable as supplementary support or as a complete teaching pathway.

Maximum class size: 10 Programming + exam technique GCSE/iGCSE + A Level
Included from Day 1: full lesson notes (Word/PDF), exam-style questions with worked answers, and guidance mapped to major exam boards, plus access to past papers for the student's board.

How lessons run

  • Live weekly lesson: teacher-led explanation, worked examples, and guided practice.
  • Programming practice: frequent timed coding tasks (Python) and problem solving.
  • Exam technique: mark-scheme language, structured answers, and common pitfalls.
  • Independent work: targeted tasks between lessons to build speed and accuracy.
  • Feedback: specific improvements focused on gaining marks.
