The qualifications behind the teaching
Charles holds UK Qualified Teacher Status and a PGCE in Computing from King's College London — one of the UK's leading teacher training institutions. His undergraduate degree is a BSc in Computer Forensics, which gives him genuine depth in cybersecurity, digital investigation and the technical foundations of Computer Science.
He has led Computer Science departments in international schools across the UK, Kuwait and Dubai, teaching every level from KS3 through to the IB Diploma Programme. He is not a generalist tutor who covers Computer Science alongside other subjects — it is his specialist subject.
Private tuition with Charles is structured, progressive and purposeful. Sessions are planned around the student's specific syllabus, their identified gaps and their examination timeline — not delivered from a generic worksheet.
