COMPUTER SCIENCE ENRICHMENT, PROGRAMMING SUPPORT & UNIVERSITY APPLICATION ADVICE
Hello, I’m Matt Scott BSc (Hons) MA PGCE OL, a qualified teacher and Director of Digital Strategy at Sevenoaks School. I specialise in Computer Science and have over a decade of experience helping young people succeed in both the classroom and beyond.
Alongside teaching, I lead robotics teams at national and international competitions, where I’ve seen how coding, problem-solving, and teamwork can inspire pupils to achieve more than they thought possible. My approach to tutoring is rooted in this same belief: learning should be structured, supportive, and empowering.
I have particular expertise in preparing pupils for GCSE and A-Level Computer Science, supporting those who may find traditional approaches challenging, and helping learners develop both confidence and curiosity. With personal insight into neurodiversity, I understand the importance of tailoring lessons to different learning styles and creating an encouraging environment for every student.
Whether your child needs targeted exam preparation, help with coding, or simply the chance to build confidence one-to-one, my goal is to make learning rewarding, clear, and enjoyable.

How much is a tutoring session? Tutoring typically costs £60 online and £75 face to face. This includes email responses during the week and 30 minutes marking and preparation. If price is an issue then I am happy to lower the price by reducing the contact time.
Where do you have face to face sessions? I am happy to travel to face to face sessions within 15 minutes of my home in Brighton. An adult will need to be present during the face to face sessions.
Do you record sessions? With your consent I am happy to record a given session.
Which exam boards have you taught? I have been teaching for 15 years and as such I have taught most boards. I am currently teaching OCR GCSE and A-level Computer Science.
Will you help me write my UCAS personal statement? I will offer advice on the content and suggest additional activities that you can do to boost you chances of receiving an offer however I am not a trained proof-reader and as such I am not the best person to suggest edits to the work.
Will you help me write my Computing Coursework? I will need to liaise with your school's subject leader before I can offer help and support with coursework. Any support that I give you needs to recorded on the candidate record form. I can exemplify what is needed at each stage of the write up and develop you skills to help you to address the implementation of the project. I am unable to give you advice on specific improvements or writing frames. Further information about the regulations surrounding coursework support can be found here.
